- Lamine Yamal has scored 5 of Barça's 16 goals in their last 5 matches (average = 3.2 goals). Gjivai Zechiel has scored 4 of Feyenoord's 12 goals in the last 5 (average = 2.4).
Firepower on both sides points to a high-tempo clash
With 7 wins from their last 10 across all tournaments, FC Barcelona will enter this encounter with Feyenoord Rotterdam in a confident mood, however, Hans-Dieter Flick's side will not come up against an opponent in poor form on Wednesday.
Het Legioen have gone 10 without defeat in all tournaments, winning eight and drawing twice, so there is every chance that Feyenoord can spoil the party at Spotify Camp Nou this week.
Barça have won 5 straight in all competitions, 3 of which came at home, thumping Valencia 0-5, before brushing aside Athletic Bilbao and Rayo Vallecano. Feyenoord come here having won three of their last five and drawn the other two, hitting Cambuur 2-5 last time out and winning 1-3 at NEC Nijmegen on their travels.
Yamal and Zechiel are in red-hot form
Barça are ruthless, scoring 16 goals in their last 5 which is a rate of 3.2 goals a game, and that should tell you that they will be looking to play at pace and with flair.
Lamine Yamal is their spark, the Spaniard has notched 5 of those 16 goals in the last 5 and every time he touches the ball, he looks to unlock a defense with his pace and swagger.
Gjivai Zechiel has been in even hotter form for Feyenoord, scoring 4 of their 12 goals in the same period, and he carries a real poacher's instinct.
Feyenoord's 4-3-3 structure and vertical break game should make this a real chess match, both in midfield and in transition.
Barça have been at their best when they can press teams high up the pitch and flood forward when in possession, but that system can also leave them open to be exploited in behind, particularly with a high defensive line.
Both teams to score - No has the most value
Over 2.5 goals is strongly in play at 1.17, but both teams to score - No at 1.95 is the selection here, as there is a good chance one of these two sides can shut up shop at the back, considering the other is in such hot form.
Barça come in hot but Feyenoord are undefeated and more balanced of late, they average 3.75 goals when on tour, and we're taking them to pinch it.
