In a crucial Champions League seventh-round encounter, Feyenoord hosts Bayern Munich at De Kuip on 22 January 2025. The kickoff is slated for 20:00 under overcast skies with a chill in the air, as temperatures hover around 3°C.
Feyenoord, currently languishing in 18th place in their league, faces mounting pressure, particularly on head coach Brian Priske. Recent performances, such as the 1-1 draw against Willem II, have cast doubts over his future. The team’s morale needs rejuvenation, especially against an in-form Bayern Munich under Vincent Kompany.
Bayern Munich, top of the Bundesliga and favourites for this clash, comes into this match on the back of five straight wins, including a 5-0 thrashing of Hoffenheim. Their prolific striker, Harry Kane, leads the tournament with five goals in six matches.

They’re struggling in the Eredivisie; their lack of consistency and mounting injuries are concerning. However, the recent acquisition of Jakub Moder might provide a needed boost to their midfield. Despite these challenges, they have shown sporadic resilience, particularly in their victory against Fortuna Düsseldorf and their performance against Rijnsburgse Boys.
Feyenoord will be looking to their standout performers to make an impact against Bayern Munich. Anis Hadj Moussa, the team’s top scorer, has netted 3 goals in the competition this season and will aim to break through Bayern’s robust defense. Calvin Stengs and Santiago Giménez, crucial in the forward line, are expected to drive the attack. Ramiz Zerrouki, despite recent criticisms, plays a key role in the midfield, providing stability and creativity. Key individual battles will include Santiago Giménez facing off against Dayot Upamecano and Alphonso Davies, making their matchups pivotal. Expected lineup for Feyenoord:

Feyenoord Tactical Breakdown:
In recent matches, head coach Brian Priske has frequently employed a 4-2-3-1 formation but is expected to switch to a 4-3-3 to better counter Bayern Munich’s attacking prowess. With crucial absences in the midfield due to injuries, Feyenoord is likely to rely on the creativity of Anis Hadj Moussa and the defensive solidity of Ramiz Zerrouki.
Priske’s strategy will likely focus on a compact defensive setup while looking to exploit late-game opportunities, as evidenced by their strength in scoring during the later minutes of the match.
