Feyenoord vs Bayern Munich Prediction

Following the appointment of Brian Priske last summer from Sparta Prague, Feyenoord have performed relatively well but their results have been frustrating. They are fourth in the Eredivisie but have a really good chance to secure a top 24 finish in the UEFA Champions League. Bayern Munich defeated Wolfsburg by three goals to two to remain at the top of the Bundesliga at the weekend but things have been a little trickier in this competition with stronger sides able to hurt Bayern. Feyenoord, playing at De Kuip, should be confident of getting at an often wide open Bayern defence but the visitors should still, like they can in Germany, be able to outscore their opponents.
