Feyenoord-Milan, the probable formations

Milan faces Feyenoord in the first leg match of the Champions League playoffs. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at 'De Kuip' Rotterdam. After the defeat in Zagreb and the failure to qualify directly for the round of 16, the Rossoneri want to get through this round to continue their European journey. To do so, they will have to get the better of the Dutch, tough opponents who are used to challenging Italian teams in Europe.

Feyenoord’s eleven, after Priske’s exoneration and Pascal Bosschaart’s arrival, could see Wellenreuther in goal in place of the injured Bijlow. The 4-3-3 is confirmed, with Hancko in defense and captain Timber in midfield. In attack, the trident could consist of Hadj Moussa on the right, Paixao on the left and Carranza in the center, with Ueda on the bench.

Conceiçao could opt for a super offensive team, with 4-2-3-1, deploying Pulisic, Joao Felix and Leao behind the big ex of the challenge, Gimenez. In goal will be Maignan, with Walker, Tomori, Pavlovic and Theo Hernandez in defense. In midfield, Fofana and Reijnders will have to give protection to the defense. Musah is unavailable, disqualified.
