Feyenoord vs Aston Villa Team News
- Feyenoord will be without Beelen, Trauner, Zand, and Moder, with all players missing due to injury.
- Ahmedhodzic returns from suspension.
- Timber is expected to partner Targhalline in midfield, and Ueda should lead the line.

- Torres could replace Mings in central defence alongside Konsa.
Feyenoord vs Aston Villa Prediction
- Aston Villa arrive in Rotterdam with back-to-back wins behind them, but they are still a side in transition after a poor start to the season.
- Emery’s men have struggled for consistency on their travels in Europe, alternating between wins and defeats in their last seven away matches, and their midfield options are weakened with McGinn a doubt and key names like Onana and Tielemans sidelined.
- Feyenoord, meanwhile, are flying in the Eredivisie with six wins from seven, but their opening Europa League defeat to Braga underlined a lack of cutting edge on the continental stage.
- Their home form is stronger – unbeaten in six European matches at De Kuip – yet they too often find goals hard to come by against higher-level opposition.
- Both sides have strengths but also clear flaws going into this clash, and with Villa’s defensive discipline under Emery and Feyenoord’s resilient home record, the margins are likely to be fine.
Prediction: Feyenoord 1-1 Aston Villa

Feyenoord vs Aston Villa Bet Builder Tips
Our Feyenoord vs Aston Villa Bet Builder Tips features Harvey Elliot 1+ Shot on Target, Anel Ahmedhodžić To Be Booked.
It can be backed at a best price of 27/5 with BetMGM.
Anel Ahmedhodžić To Be Booked
Anel Ahmedhodžić has two yellows in six Erdervisie fixtures and picked up 11 with Sheffield last season. His foul count in his last five reads 2,3,0,2,1 and up against players like Ollie Watkins, Harvey Elliot and Morgan Rogers he might struggle.
Harvey Elliot 1+ Shot on Target
Elliot looks decent value for one shot on target here. He has hardly had a chance to play a full 90 but might get a full game here due to injuries in Villa's midfield. He hit the target twice in his second start for Villa against Brentford recently. He will be keen to show the manager what he is capable of tonight.
