Feyenoord without a manager hosted the first game of their playoffs of the Champions League with Milan on Wednesday night.
The Dutch side was wonderful in the league phase, but a 6-1 defeat of Lille at the last match almost canceled his previous success against Manchester City and Bayern Munich. However, it was precisely their local indifference that forced them to separate with Brian Friske on the eve of the first leg on Wednesday.
Feyenoord, who won Eredivisie two years ago under the current Liverpool boss Arne, sit in fifth place in the Dutch top flight and 12 points is during Ajax leader. There was a sharp fall over 2023/24, and Friske, who was appointed summer, paid for his job.
Milan will thus feel blood in de Kuip as they fly to Rotterdam. And they split up with the manager in this term, but Sergio Conceicao had enough time to push his ideas on the Rossoneri team. They finished two points in front of Feyenoord in League phase table And go to your play-off game, winning four of your previous six games in all competitions.

Santiago Gimenez switched Rotterdam to Milan In winter, leaving a gap for the hosts on Wednesday. Julian Carranza’s summer arrival seems to be in charge of replacing the fertile Mexican for the rest of 2024/25, and he should keep his place in the XI visit.
The hosts have several care of injuries, with the initial goalkeeper and Dutch international Justin Biljow, who missed both legs due to knee problems. Calvin Stengs is another significant absence with a lower leg objection, while Jordan Lotoba has long out with a broken leg.
Gernot Trauner and Ramiz Zerrouki doubt.
Feyenoord predicted a lineup against Milan (4-3-3): Wellenreuther; Nieuwkoop, Trauner, Hancko, Smal; Milabo, Beelen, Wood; Hadj Moussa, Carranza, Paixao.
Milan was one of the most prominent clubs in January window, and we should see at least a few of their new arrivals in action on Wednesday night.
Kyle Walker settled beautifully in the right back, proving as an immeasurable upgrade at Emerson Royal Summer Appendix, which was currently injured. Joao Felix, as almost always, hit the ground by running SignatureAnd he could have gone his way to Conceicao XI in Rotterdam.
Gimenez also quarrels with his former club, but Tammy Abraham could vote at the top.
Yunus Musah Suspendovan was after seeing red in Zagreb, while Alessandro Florenzi was injured. Ruben Loftus-Cheek is doubt.
Milan predicted a setting against Feyenoord (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Walker, Thiaw, Pavlovic, Hernandez; Reijnders, fofana; Pulisic, Felix, Leao; Abraham.
Conceica’s Milan is one to watch throughout the Nokauta phase. The Portuguese coach excels on the continental stage, with his porto teams hitting their weight against some of the best dogs.
This is a great draw for Rossoneri, and they will benefit from the fact that Feyenoord’s leading goalkeeper was away from Rotterdam on the eve of his play-off. Reducing the host fire power, trouble with injuries that go through their core, and the absence of a permanent manager should allow visitors to win relative comfort on Wednesday night.
Prediction: Feyenoord 0-2 Milan
