Player to watch – Igor Paixao
Igor Paixao has lodged three assists in the Champions League so far this season but with Feyenoord missing some of their regular goal-scorers at present, the winger might need to find his shooting boots on Wednesday.
Paixao needs to add goals to his game
Brazilian winger Paixao has been an assist machine for Feyenoord this season though he hasn’t scored a goal for his team since September and he might need to carry more threat in the final third on Wednesday with players like Ueda and Gimenez out injured.
