Two of the most in-form teams in Europe will clash at De Kuip in Rotterdam, where Feyenoord, who have been undefeated since December, will host Bayer Leverkusen, the reigning German champions.
The Dutch side, who finished as runners-up last season, are in top form but are aware of the challenge posed by Bayer Leverkusen, who remained unbeaten in their domestic league last year.
Team news
Feyenoord will be missing their new left-back Hugo Bueno due to a muscle injury he suffered shortly after joining on loan from Wolves.
Leverkusen, who were finalists in the Europa League, are likely to be without Exequiel Palacios, who has been struggling with a knee problem.
The stats
Feyenoord have drawn four out of their five matches this season, with both teams scoring in every game.
The Rotterdam team is on a 31-match unbeaten streak since their loss to Celtic in the Champions League last December. However, they have lost 16 of their last 19 Champions League matches.
On the other hand, Leverkusen have not lost in their last 29 away matches across all competitions, scoring in each of those games.
Prediction
Any concerns about the game being tempered due to nerves seem unfounded for the match in Rotterdam.
Both teams are known for their attacking style of play and vulnerability in defense, indicating that we could witness plenty of goals in this encounter.
Leverkusen are expected to be the favorites, especially after their convincing 4-1 victory against Hoffenheim. Nevertheless, Feyenoord should not be underestimated, considering they broke the Ajax-PSV dominance to win the Eredivisie last season.
Feyenoord, who started the new season by winning the Supercup against PSV, have notched up six points in their first four league matches. However, their inability to keep a clean sheet raises concerns, especially against Leverkusen's strong attacking lineup.
