Como is preparing to challenge Feyenoord at De Kuip in Rotterdam, with the aim of consolidating their position in the Champions League after the convincing 4‑1 victory against Leipzig. Cesc Fàbregas' club, which has already shown a good level in Europe, aims to maintain its form and take advantage of the experience gained in the first phase of the tournament.
Feyenoord, on the other hand, arrives in Rotterdam with the hope of redeeming themselves after the heavy defeat against Barcelona. The Dutch team has regained confidence in the championship thanks to three consecutive victories and now aims to recover the points lost in Europe. However, the club faces several absences: Beelen, Bos, Nieuwkoop, Nelson and Smal are out for various reasons, while Borges, Watanabe and Moder remain doubtful. Coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst has indicated 4‑3‑3 as the basic formation, with Nacho Ferri at the center of the attack, supported by Hadj Moussa and Valente.
For Como, the tactical composition remains the usual 4‑2‑3‑1. The midfield will be led by Milla and DaCunha, while in defense Couto and Valle will be responsible for the external lanes, with Ramon and Chalobah in the center. The main striker role was assigned to Douvikas, with Diao, Nico Paz and Baturina supporting him. The absence of Moise Kean, who will not be available for the match, should not compromise the offensive structure, as coach Fàbregas has already outlined a clear strategy for the match.
Como have already demonstrated that they can compete at European level, but the match against Feyenoord represents a crucial opportunity to consolidate their position in the group stage. If they can maintain discipline and take advantage of scoring opportunities, they can increase their chances of progressing beyond the group stage. For Feyenoord, however, victory would be an important step towards regaining confidence and confirming their competitiveness in the Champions League. The match therefore promises to be intense, with both teams trying to make the most of their strengths and fill the gaps highlighted by the absences.
