Bayern Munich to win & over 3.5 goals - 13/8
Bayern Munich find themselves just outside the top eight of the UEFA Champions League table and they should push into an automatic-qualification berth for the last 16 with a victory at Feyenoord on Wednesday.
Vincent Kompany’s side lost two of their opening three games in the competition as they suffered defeats at Aston Villa and Barcelona, but they are back in the groove having won their last three and they can get the better of their Dutch hosts, who are struggling with injuries and poor form.
Feyenoord have failed to win their last three Eredivisie matches, while Bayer Leverkusen and Salzburg have already won at the Stadion Feijenoord ‘De Kuip’ in the UEFA Champions League this season.
Brian Priske has to patch up his midfield for this one and as all six of his team’s matches in the competition this season have featured at least four goals, there looks a strong chance this will be an open affair with Bayern, who are four points clear in the Bundesliga and have won 13 of their last 16 matches, taking three vital points.
Michael Olise to score at any time - 7/4
It is no surprise to see Harry Kane at the top of the goalscoring markets for Wednesday’s meeting in Rotterdam, but while the England striker has netted five UEFA Champions League goals this season, four of those came in their opening 9-2 win over Dinamo Zagreb and three of them were penalties.
So it could pay to look elsewhere for an anytime-goalscorer bet and Kane’s Bayern Munich colleague Michael Olise could fit the bill.
The former Crystal Palace star scored twice in that mauling of the Croatian outfit and has had just four fewer shots on target than Kane in the Bundesliga this season.
Olise was on target twice in their 5-1 win over Shakhtar Donetsk and has had 17 efforts at goal in his last six appearances, so he could make a telling contribution in what looks set to be a high-scoring encounter.
Santiago Gimenez to have over 1.5 shots on target - 5/2
Another player who is worth keeping an eye on at the Stadion Feijenoord ‘De Kuip’ on Wednesday is home striker Santiago GImenez, who has found a purple patch of form.
The Mexican centre forward has scored seven goals in his last eight appearances for the Eredivisie outfit, finding the net in his last two UEFA Champions League outings against Manchester City and Sparta Prague.
He also scored a hat-trick in their 5-2 league win over Heracles before the winter break and has had at least two shots on target in four of his last six appearances.
With a total of 18 goal efforts in those matches, confidence is plainly not an issue and he can test Manuel Neuer at least twice in this week’s clash.
