Celtic vs Feyenoord Prediction
Celtic are currently top of the league table and at the bottom of their Champions League group. They have lost four of their five games in the Champions League, drawing the other one. Manager Brendan Rodgers is now in his second spell at the club, and has a tough job in his hands, given the success his predecessor, Ange Postecoglou, had.
For Celtic, Denmark international Matt O'Riley has emerged as a star. The 23-year-old could soon become another one of Celtic's successful transfer sales. O'Riley has been linked with multiple Premier League clubs already, and January could be a pivotal moment for Celtic's season.
Feyenoord, on the other hand, are third in the Champions League group, five points ahead of Celtic and four points behind Lazio. They sit second in the Eredivisie table; manager Arne Slot led the club to domestic success last season, and will hope to add European credentials soon. Slot was linked with the Tottenham Hotspur job in the summer gone by, with the job eventually going to Postecoglou.
Slot will be a man in demand though. With clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United struggling, he could be a manager they turn to as they seek to improve their fortunes.
Feyenoord should win here.
Prediction: Celtic 0-1 Feyenoord
