Football Match Preview: Feyenoord vs Bayer Leverkusen - Analysis & Insights
Feyenoord take on Bayer Leverkusen on Thursday night as the UEFA Champions League returns
Dutch side Feyenoord have started the Eredivisie season off well having not lost yet. However 1 win and 3 draws is far from where they should be. They currently sit 6th in the table after 4 games.
German champions Bayer Leverkusen on the other hand sit 5th in the table after picking up 6 points in the opening 3 matches. They have also scored the second most goals in the league with 9 goals scored so far.
