Holland’s harbour city will come to life on Thursday night when Feyenoord play host to English opponents Aston Villa at De Kuip on Matchday 2 of the Europa League. De Stadionclub are in 29th place in the League Phase standings after the first week, while the Villans are 13th. Check out our match prediction below!
Both these sides featured in the Champions League last season but did not cross paths in Europe’s top-tier competition. Feyenoord finished in 19th place during the League Phase of the UCL last term and reached the round of 16 before bowing out to finalists Inter Milan 4-1 on aggregate.
Villa, on the other hand, returned to the UCL after a 41-year absence in 2024-25 and enjoyed an impressive campaign, reaching the quarter-final before a heartbreaking 5-4 aggregate loss to Paris Saint-Germain. Despite enduring a tough start to this season, bookmakers have installed the visitors as favourites in this match - let’s get into the key stats!

Feyenoord - Aston Villa: Form Analysis
Feyenoord were denied entry to the Champions League by Fenerbahce during qualifying and made a disappointing start to their Europa League campaign, losing 1-0 to Braga in week one.
Domestically, though, De club aan de Maas have been excellent this season, currently leading the Eredivisie standings with six wins in seven (D1) following a 1-0 victory over Groningen this past weekend.
The hosts have played four home games this season and won all of them, while maintaining clean sheets in each of their last three. They have also scored two or more goals in nine of their last 10 matches at this venue.
Aston Villa’s first win of the 2025-26 season came against Bologna on Matchday 1 of this competition!
Indeed, Unai Emery’s side staggered out the blocks this term, failing to win any of their first six matches (L3 D3), while it took them four games before scoring their first goal of the season.
However, after beating Bologna last week, the Lions followed up with their first Premier League win of the campaign, coming from a goal down to beat Fulham 3-1 at Villa Park this past weekend.
However, both those victories were on home soil, while on the road, the visitors have only won one of their last eight competitive matches (W1 D2 L5). That sole victory was against Southampton, who were relegated from the English top flight last season.

Feyenoord & Aston Villa Squad Analysis
Robin van Persie opted to rest Ayase Ueda for the match against Braga, and without the Japan international, they lacked an attacking spark, managing only a single shot on target across the 90.
Ueda has scored six goals in seven league games this season, including netting the winner over the weekend, and he is expected to return and spearhead the hosts’ attack in this match.
Sem Steijn has been cleared fit after missing the victory over Groningen with a knock, but Malcolm Jeng sustained an injury in that match and is ruled out for a few weeks. Jakub Moder and Thomas Beelen are long-term absentees for the home side.
Villa skipper John McGinn is flagged as a doubt for this trip to Rotterdam!
The Lions’ captain was excellent in their victory against Bologna last week and scored what turned out to be the winner in the match with a thunderous shot from outside the box.
If McGinn is ruled out, it could leave the visitors vulnerable in midfield, with Amadou Onana and Youri Tielemans both likely to be out this week with injuries, while Jadon Sancho is also a doubt.
In defence, Tyrone Mings only lasted half an hour before pulling up with an injury over the weekend, which will likely see Pau Torres promoted to the starting lineup for this match.

Our Feyenoord vs Aston Villa Prediction
Feyenoord were extremely disappointing in their first match of the Europa League this season, but we are expecting major improvement from them this week, back on their home patch, where they’ve been excellent so far this term.
After a dismal start to the season, Aston Villa will enter this match off the back of consecutive victories, but they are yet to win a match on the road this term, and it will take a few more good performances before we can back them with any confidence. Our Feyenoord vs Aston Villa prediction is Feyenoord or X.
