Preview: Real Betis vs Feyenoord Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Europa League 2025-26

The Glorious will take on the Club of People on matchday eight of the UEL!

Real Betis will host the Dutch giants Feyenoord at the iconic Estadio La Cartuja in the UEFA Europa League. Real Betis’s manager, Manuel Pellegrini’s job is now a bit more complicated, as his team will be missing a lot of players due to injuries, and this is a must-win game for them. This will be the first time these two sides take on each other on a continental level.

In seven matches so far in the Europa League, Betis won four, drew twice and lost once, with 14 points on the board, they sit in eighth place. To secure a top-eight finish, it will be a must-win game, and the stakes are pretty much high for the home side. Betis lost their momentum due to this injury crisis, but their home crowd will surely help them with their support on Thursday.

On the other hand, Robin van Persie’s Feyenoord dropped a lot of points in the league as well as in the Europa League this season. They are pretty much out of the league title race against PSV, and now their chances of making it into the knockout stages are also very slim.

This will be a must-win game for them as well, and they will have to hope that other sides drop points; then only will they make it into the top 24. This is a high-stakes match for both sides, and we can expect both teams to go all out to secure the win. It will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Hwang In-beom (Feyenoord)

Hwang is a versatile midfielder who has proven capable in a variety of roles. The South Korean international is extremely comfortable with the ball at his feet and rarely concedes possession.
