On a stunning Tuesday evening of Champions League football, Feyenoord became the first side in the competition’s history to recover from a 3-0 deficit in the 75th minute.
De Kuip will be delighted to see the return of star striker Santiago Gimenez, who had been out for two months until his goal from the bench at the Etihad.
Predicted lineup: Wellenreuther (GK), Nieuwkoop, Trauner, Hancko, Smal, Milambo, Hwang, Timber, Moussa, Gimenez, Paixao
Fortuna Sittard preview: A European adventure awaits?
Fortuna Sittard currently sit just inside the Europa Conference League playoffs in the Eredivisie, with fans hoping for a first European excursion since their Cup Winners’ Cup exit to Everton in 1985.
