The Camp Nou giants have won La Liga for the second consecutive year, finishing ahead of Real Madrid. Despite making significant changes to their squad, they have once again made an excellent start. They thrashed Elche, while scoring two unanswered goals against Athletic Club in El Clásico. They also scored five against both Rayo Vallecano and Valencia.
The Rotterdam club have not won the Eredivisie since 2023. However, last season, partly thanks to Ajax’s decline, they managed to climb to second place, although PSV remained out of reach. They have already dropped points this time around, drawing 2-2 with both Go Ahead Eagles and Den Haag.
The Catalans are currently averaging 4.25 goals scored and 0.5 conceded per match. The Dutch side, meanwhile, are scoring 2.6 goals per game while conceding 1.4.
Head to Head matches: Barcelona vs Feyenoord
The sides have met only once before, half a century ago in 1974. In the European Cup, after a goalless draw in the Netherlands, the hosts thrashed their opponents 3-0 at Camp Nou.
We are expecting another Barcelona victory, and not a narrow one. We are backing the hosts with a -2.5-goal handicap (odds – 1.71).
