Feyenoord to win and both teams to score - 15/8

Feyenoord have been an entertaining team to watch in this season’s UEFA Champions League, with 10 goals scored and 13 conceded from their five fixtures.

Brian Priske's side came from three goals down at Manchester City on matchday five to snatch a thrilling 3-3 draw, becoming the first side to ever avoid defeat in the UEFA Champions League proper after being 3-0 down after 70 minutes.

The Dutch outfit have scored in seven successive games in all competitions, notching a total of 18 goals during this period, but just one clean sheet in this run highlights their defensive frailties.

A leaky backline should give visitors Sparta hope that they can at least get on the scoresheet, something they have managed to do in eight of their last nine assignments.

Head coach Lars Friis will also be after a response from his side following their 6-0 thumping at the hands of Atletico Madrid in their last European outing.

Sparta are without a win in their last six away games, but they have found the back of the net in four of those contests and they can do so again in defeat on Wednesday.

Feyenoord have won four of their last seven home fixtures in all competitions and they look capable of adding another tick in the win column.

Under 4.5 cards - 5/6

Feyenoord and Sparta have been two of the most well-disciplined teams in the UEFA Champions League, having been shown seven and five yellow cards respectively.

The Dutch side have also received one red card, but they have generally stayed on the right side of the referee and this is unlikely to be a hot-tempered affair.

Only Barcelona (four) have picked up fewer cautions than Sparta, whose five games in the League Phase have all produced two yellows, comfortably hitting the under 4.5 cards mark.

While there is plenty riding on this match for both sides, that shouldn’t impact their impressive disciplinary record and the card count should be low again.

Anis Hadj Moussa anytime goalscorer - 5/4

There will be plenty of attacking talent on show, especially for the hosts, and one player in red-hot form for Feyenoord is Anis Hadj Moussa.

After failing to score in his first nine appearances of the campaign, the Algeria international has scored five goals in his next five matches.

Two of those goals have come in the UEFA Champions League, against FC Salzburg and Man City, while the 22-year-old’s most recent strike came in Saturday’s victory at RKC Waalwijk.

Moussa is high on confidence and he will be relishing the opportunity to take on a Sparta defence that has conceded 14 goals in Europe, six of those coming on the road.
