AC Milan vs Feyenoord – Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score
John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Over 2.5 Goals | |
4/6 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Inter Milan’s dominant attack and unbeaten run against Genoa suggest a high-scoring home win. With Genoa’s defensive struggles, over 2.5 goals looks a strong possibility. | |
Rationale:
Key Stats:
✅ Feyenoord’s last four away Champions League matches have produced 22 goals – an average of over five per game.
✅ AC Milan are unbeaten in their last 12 home games in all competitions.
✅ Feyenoord have failed to keep a clean sheet in the Champions League away from home since September 2002.
AC Milan will be desperate to turn this tie around after a 1-0 defeat in Rotterdam, but history is not in their favour. The Rossoneri have only progressed from one of their last six Champions League knockout ties after losing the first leg. However, they are formidable at home, remaining unbeaten in 12 consecutive matches at the San Siro since October.
Santiago Gimenez, who left Feyenoord for Milan in January, will be eager to make an impact against his former side after struggling in the first leg. With Rafael Leão expected to return to the starting XI, Milan’s attack should carry a greater threat than last week.
Feyenoord, meanwhile, have been an unpredictable force in this competition. Their Champions League away matches this season have been packed with goals, producing an incredible 22 in four games. They failed to score in their last two domestic away matches, but in Europe, they have shown a different attacking intent. However, their defensive record is a major concern – they have not kept a Champions League clean sheet away from home in over two decades.
Milan’s attacking quality at home, combined with Feyenoord’s chaotic defensive displays on the road, suggests an open contest. A high-scoring game looks inevitable, with both sides expected to find the net.
