Feyenoord vs Celtic | Europa League Preview & Betting Tips | 27 Nov 2025

Feyenoord vs Celtic — UEFA Europa League, 27 November 2025

Europa League league phase at De Kuip – Feyenoord are desperate to bounce back after a poor run, while Celtic arrive full of confidence after winning the reverse fixture.

🗞️ Introduction

This one feels massive for Feyenoord – they’ve slipped off the pace domestically and need points to stay in the top-eight hunt. Celtic are flying and a draw would keep them on course for direct qualification. De Kuip will be absolutely rocking; the travelling Green Brigade will make plenty of noise too.

Both sides usually line up in a 4-2-3-1, but Celtic have been far more solid defensively and ruthless on the break this season. No major fresh injury worries reported for either camp.

🔑 Tactical Trends

Celtic are keeping seven clean sheets in ten and restrict opponents to just 0.8 xG per game – they sit deep when needed and hit teams hard in transition. Feyenoord dominate the ball (60% possession) and fire in 15 shots per match, but they’ve been leaky at the back lately.

Set pieces could decide it: Celtic score 0.6 from dead balls and concede almost none, while Feyenoord leak 0.3 from restarts.

📋 Form

Feyenoord over the last ten: five wins, zero draws, five defeats – 20 scored but 15 conceded. They can still put goals on the board but have been far too open.

Celtic: nine wins, one draw, zero defeats – 29 scored, only five conceded and seven clean sheets. They’re in sensational shape and look unbreakable right now.
