Feyenoord vs Aston Villa Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Europa League 2025-26

The previous confrontation between them ended in favour of the Villans.

Feyenoord are all set to take on Aston Villa in what is going to be their round 2 league phase fixture of the 2025-26 Europa League. This contest is scheduled to take place at the Stadion Feijenoord.

Feyenoord Rotterdam will be at home and will be keen on using it to their advantage. They fell prey to SC Braga in their opening UEL game of this season.

It was not their best performance, due to which they faced a defeat. The hosts will be looking to come up with a better effort this time around.

The Villans will now be looking to continue their winning run here. The Unai Emery-led side started their season on a poor note, but have now won their last two matches and are looking in good touch.

They defeated Bologna in their first UEFA Europa League game of the season. Then they secured a win against Fulham in the Premier League.

• Date: Friday, October 3
• Kick-off Time: 12:30 a.m. IST (Thursday, Oct 2; 07:00 p.m. GMT/ 03:00 p.m. ET/ 12:00 p.m. PT)

Form:

Feyenoord: W-W-D-L-W

Aston Villa: D-D-D-W-W

Players to Watch

Goncalo Borges (Feyenoord)

Goncalo Borges will be looking to step up here. He will be leading the attack from the right yet again. Even though he failed to score any goals last time, Borges will be keen on finding the net this time around.

He can provide his fellow teammates with some crosses as well, which can be lethal for the opponents.

Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)

The Englishman has finally scored a goal for Aston Villa in the new season. He was not able to come up with top performances recently. However, after finding the net in the last fixture, Ollie Watkins helped his side secure a 3-1 win against Fulham in their league contest.

He is surely going to create issues for the opponent’s defence.
