Where to watch
The match between the teams will be broadcast on TNT Sports.
How Feyenoord arrives
Feyenoord finished second in the last Dutch championship and are accredited to play in the Champions League. Now, new coach Brian Prisk wants to do what is necessary to reach the knockout stages of the competition this season.
Making their debut in this ‘new era’ of the competition, the team will have to do without Hugo Bueno and Stengs, both injured. Trauner has had doubts from the coach, but is ready to play. There will therefore be no major problems in the lineup of the hosts who will face Bayer. The Brazilian striker Igor Paixão, formerly of Coritiba, is one of the strong pieces of the Dutch team.
How Leverkusen arrives
Bayer Leverkusen had a dream season after many disappointments and finally took home the Bundesliga undefeated. Now, the team led by Xabi Alonso wants to take another step to confirm the success of their project by winning the Champions League.
Palacios remains a doubt for the Germans for this Thursday, but the Argentine’s chances of playing are considered ‘good’. With practically the entire team available, the coach has doubts to resolve, such as in attack (where Schick and Boniface are competing for a place) and in midfield, between Andrich and Aleix García.
