---------------------------------
Feyenoord
Robin van Persie has a plethora of roster issues hampering his preparations ahead of his side’s latest fixture. The Feyenoord manager will be bereft of the services of as many as a dozen players vs Inter Milan on Wednesday.
Givairo Read will serve a suspension and miss Wednesday’s game. The 18-year-old Dutch prodigy will accompany Justin Bijlow (knee), Facundo Gonzalez (back), Hwang In-beom (knock), Antoni Milambo (unspecified), Jakub Moder (unspecified), Bart Nieuwkoop (leg), Calvin Stengs (ankle), Quinten Timber (knee), Gernot Trauner (unspecified), Ayase Ueda (thigh), and Ramiz Zerrouki (leg) on the sidelines.
Timon Wellenreuther will take his spot between the sticks in Bijlow’s absence, with Feyenoord lining up in a 4-3-3 formation in front of him vs Inter Milan on Wednesday. The backline should feature Jeyland Mitchell, Thomas Beelen, David Hancko, and Hugo Bueno.
As for the midfield unit, the injury crisis will force Anis Hadj Moussa to take a place in the middle of the park, accompanying Luka Ivanusec and Gijs Smal in the central areas. Finally, Julian Carranza will lead the line for Feyenoord against Inter Milan, with Igor Paixao and Ibrahim Osman being the two wide attackers.
Inter Milan
Like his counterpart in the Feyenoord dugout, Simone Inzaghi has many issues to worry about ahead of the trip to De Kuip. The Inter Milan manager might be without as many as six first-team players on Wednesday.
The wing-back positions are in a crisis, with Carlos Augusto (calf), Matteo Darmian (thigh), Federico Dimarco (thigh), and Nicola Zalewski (calf) on the sidelines. In addition, Yann Sommer is recovering from a thumb. Meanwhile, Inzaghi is sweating over Hakan Calhanoglu’s fitness.
Josep Martinez will deputise for Sommer between the sticks, with Inter Milan lining up in a 3-5-2 formation in front of him vs Feyenoord on Wednesday. The central defensive unit should feature Yann Bisseck, Francesco Acerbi, and Alessandro Bastoni. Benjamin Pavard and Denzel Dumfries will likely reprise makeshift roles.
While Pavard will start on the left flank, Dumfries will play as a left wing-back. As for the midfield unit, there is no looking past Nicolo Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the middle of the park. Finally, Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram will be the two strikers for the away side.
Feyenoord possible starting lineup:
Wellenreuther; Mitchell, Beelen, Hancko, Bueno; Ivanusec, Moder, Smal; Hadj Moussa, Carranza, Paixao
Inter Milan possible starting lineup:
J. Martinez; Bisseck, De Vrij, Acerbi; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Bastoni; L. Martinez, Thuram
Feyenoord vs Inter Milan Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
The two sides squared off in the semifinal of the 2002 UEFA Cup. Feyenoord qualified with a 3-2 aggregate win, claiming a 1-0 away win and drawing 2-2 at home en-route to defeating Borussia Dortmund in the final.
Feyenoord have lost just one of 12 home games played in Europe against Italian clubs (seven wins).
Inter Milan had by far the best defensive record in the league phase with just one goal conceded in eight games.
The winner at halftime has gone on to win in eight of Feyenoord's last 10 UCL games this season.
Four of Inter Milan's last five games across competitions have produced less than three goals.
Prediction: Feyenoord 0-1 Inter Milan
In their last two Champions League games at De Kuip, the hosts have beaten Bayern Munich and Milan, so they are certainly no pushovers. Yet, a decimated squad might succumb to Inter's vast reserves of nous and experience, leaving them with a deficit to make up next week.
