Over 9.5 match shots on target |
Over 3.5 goals - 1/1
The naysayers are queuing up following Manchester City's calamitous 4-0 home drubbing at the hands of Tottenham in the Premier League on Saturday - and the English champions don't have long to dwell on that demoralising defeat.
The calibre of City's absentee list has been well-documented but it was their lack of structure, especially at the back, rather than personnel that was so alarming against Spurs.
Pep Guardiola's men were caught cold without the ball on numerous occasions and it was far too easy for Tottenham to break on the Citizens, who suffered their worst home defeat since a 5-1 loss to Arsenal in 2003.
The four goals City conceded at the weekend took their goals-against tally during their losing streak to 14 and they are conceding more shots from counter-attacking situations (1.2 per game) than at any time in Guardiola's reign, according to Opta statistics.
That is a dangerous trait against a high-energy Feyenoord side who are not shy in coming forward.
The Rotterdammers have scored 31 goals in 13 Eredivisie games this season while their four UEFA Champions League matches have yielded a 4-0 defeat at home to Bayer Leverkusen, 3-2 and 3-1 wins away at Girona and Benfica, and a 3-1 loss at home to Salzburg.
Given City's defensive issues, there seems to be no reason why the high-scoring will not continue.
Josko Gvardiol first goalscorer each-way - 20/1
Sometimes inspiration comes from an unlikely source.
Manchester City likely won't care where that arrives from such are their current travails and left-back Josko Gvardiol could be the man to give them lift-off in Manchester on Tuesday.
It's fair to say that the Croatia international didn't have his best game for the Citizens against Spurs but he has had a knack of coming up with important goals for the Premier League champions this season.
Gvardiol has scored City's opener in away league games at Newcastle, Wolves and Bournemouth already this term and, at 20/1, he is a big each-way price to come up with another important intervention at the City of Manchester Stadium.
Each-way bettors receive a third of his odds, so bigger than 13/2, should he score at any time in the match.
Over 9.5 match shots on target - 8/11
For all City's issues and the calibre of players they have on the sidelines, it cannot be denied that they still possess a wealth of talent, particularly in forward areas.
And with goals expected on Tuesday night it stands to reason that we should see plenty of shots testing goalkeepers.
City's four European matches this season have yielded shots-on-target totals of nine, 14, 11 and 12 while Feyenoord's have amassed eight, nine, 14 and seven.
Banking on there being at least 10 at the City of Manchester Stadium looks prudent.
