Feyenoord is eager to put 2025 behind them as quickly as possible, as it was a particularly negative year for them in European competitions. They lost nine continental matches in 2025, and several of those defeats contribute to the 16-time Eredivisie champions having very little chance of progressing beyond the Europa League group stage. It's still possible for them, but they absolutely must beat Austrian side Sturm Graz on Thursday in Rotterdam.
Even under Robin van Persie's management, Feyenoord arrives at the European match brimming with self-doubt after losing the derby against Sparta Rotterdam at De Kuip 3-4, conceding the decisive goal in the 93rd minute. However, it didn't go unnoticed that the manager's teenage son, Shaqueel van Persie, came on as a substitute in that match and scored two goals, briefly leveling the score at 3-3 before they ultimately lost.
Even so, Feyenoord will be the favorite in Thursday's pre-match betting; this seems logical, as the Austrian team is going through a similarly unfavorable run of form to the Dutch side.

Our Feyenoord vs Sturm Graz Prediction
A goal fest could be in store. For Sturm Graz, the Austrian league has yet to resume after the Christmas break, so they kept busy in January playing friendly matches; their last one ended in a 4-4 draw against Danish side Copenhagen.
At the same time, the Feyenoord-Sturm Graz match is not unprecedented. In fact, they were in the same group in the 2022 Europa League when Feyenoord thrashed them 6-0 in their encounter in Rotterdam.
Our prediction for Feyenoord vs Sturm Graz is: Over 3.5 goals.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
