Will Feyenoord also surprise against Inter Milan?
Feyenoord Rotterdam already eliminated AC Milan from the competition in the intermediate round. Now, the showdown against Inter Milan is coming up in the last sixteen. As can be seen from the betting odds of the best bookmakers, the Dutch representative is the underdog in the first leg despite having home advantage. For a Feyenoord Rotterdam vs. Inter Milan betting tip on the home side, betting odds beyond the 5.00 mark are currently available.
Since their defeat to PSV Eindhoven almost a month ago, Feyenoord have not lost any of their last six competitive games and also eliminated AC Milan from the Champions League during that period. The Eredivisie’s fourth-placed team in 2024/25 is now aiming for the next surprise against Inter Milan, relying above all on their home strength at “De Kuip”.
Feyenoord Rotterdam – statistics & current form
Feyenoord Rotterdam finished 19th in the group stage of the Champions League in the new league format of the premier class. Robin van Persie’s team conceded only three defeats in eight matches, including the away defeat to Lille on the last matchday of the league phase. Feyenoord was literally taken to pieces and conceded six goals.
All the more surprising, therefore, was the coup in the knockout stage of the Champions League. Feyenoord Rotterdam beat AC Milan 1-0 in the first leg. The draw in the second leg was therefore enough to eliminate the “Rossoneri” from Milan from the competition. Now the next opponent from Milan is coming up.
Feyenoord Rotterdam will face Inter Milan in the round of 16 and is the clear underdog. In the first leg, the bookmakers are offering odds in excess of 5.00 for a Feyenoord Rotterdam vs. Inter Milan tip on the home side.
Will the recent home record be extended?
Feyenoord have not been beaten in their last five home games in all competitions. Robin van Persie’s side have won four of those five encounters. The only surprise result was a draw against NEC Nijmegen. Feyenoord have won two of their four Champions League games, including the comfortable 3-0 victory over the German record champions from Munich.
Feyenoord have lost just one of their last twelve European matches at home against Italian teams. In these twelve encounters, “de club aan de Maas” has a record of 7-4-1. Feyenoord Rotterdam only suffered a home defeat against AS Roma in the 2014/15 Europa League.
However, Robin van Persie also has to overcome personnel issues in the squad in Wednesday’s game. Twelve players are not available for the upcoming game. Big changes compared to the team that lost to NEC last weekend are not expected at Feyenoord.
Inter Milan – Statistics & current form
Inter Milan, unlike Feyenoord Rotterdam, have qualified directly for the last sixteen of the Champions League. In the main round, the “Nerazzurri” finished with a record of 6-1-1 and thus fourth in the league phase of the premier class. In these eight encounters, Inter Milan scored eleven goals – in return, the Milanese only conceded one goal!
It is quite possible that the defensive bulwark will also be a success factor in the knockout phase. Last weekend, Inter Milan largely kept the offensive of their league rivals Naples at bay and “only” conceded one goal. Inter Milan kept a clean sheet in two of their last three competitive matches.
Betting on “both teams to score” in the upcoming game involves a lot of risk. However, bettors who still want to bet on it can also use a free bet without a deposit to minimize their own risk. A win in Rotterdam would be a small breakthrough for Inter Milan.
Will Inter Milan overcome their away weakness?
The “Nerazzurri” have not won any of their last four away games. In these four encounters, Simone Inzaghi’s team have a record of 0-2-2. It therefore remains to be seen how Inter Milan will perform in the upcoming encounter against Feyenoord Rotterdam. Internationally, Inzaghi’s team has recorded an away record of 2-1-1 in the Champions League this season.
Inter Milan have lost just three of their last 23 Champions League matches. In those 23 matches, they have a record of 14-6-3 and have conceded just twelve goals. It is quite possible that the statistics will continue in Rotterdam.
Simone Inzaghi has to do without seven players due to injury. The sick list grew again last weekend, so we can expect to see even minimal changes compared to the last starting lineup.

Feyenoord Rotterdam – Inter Milan Tip
Last weekend, Inter Milan’s short winning streak ended with a draw against Naples. The draw was bitter, because the equalizing goal in favor of the “Partenopei” only came in the final minutes. Nevertheless, Inter Milan remains the leader in the Serie A and is ahead in the fight for the Scudetto.
This week, the focus is on the upcoming encounter in Rotterdam. With a good result in the first leg, Inter Milan wants to set the course for a place in the quarter-finals. The Nerazzurri are already favorites in the first leg. However, Feyenoord should not be underestimated in front of their home crowd.
We place our Feyenoord Rotterdam vs. Inter Milan tip at odds of 1.56 on the guests. However, we only bet three units on the guests for our prediction. At home, Feyenoord has not lost any of their last five competitive games and have already beaten teams like AC Milan and Bayern Munich.
