Feyenoord vs Celtic prediction: EUROPE: Europa League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-11-26 17:45.
[p]Feyenoord and Celtic are desperate for wins to revive their respective UEFA Europa League (UEL) campaigns, with both sides facing the prospect of league-phase elimination.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Feyenoord sit a point lower than Celtic in the table, having won just one of their four league-phase matches so far this term (L3). They have also lost their last two Eredivisie games, and face the prospect of four successive defeats across all competitions for the first time since January 2016! Such form is bound to have cranked up the pressure on head coach Robin van Persie, but he can draw inspiration from the Dutch giants’ record of five wins in their last seven European home outings (L2) – including the scalps of Bayern Munich and AC Milan in last season’s UEFA Champions League (UCL). [/p]
[p]Celtic are experiencing somewhat of a resurgence under interim manager Martin O’Neill, who has overseen four wins in five games since the departure of Brendan Rodgers. The one loss in that sequence came in the UEL against table-topping Midtjylland (3-1), extending the Hoops’ utterly woeful away run in Europe to 16 winless matches (D5, L11). On a much more positive note for the reigning Scottish champions, they have the chance here to make it three straight victories without conceding in all competitions for the first time since last December. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Feyenoord have the edge in H2Hs (W2, L1), with one of those wins coming in the 1969/70 European Cup final. The other came two seasons ago in the last-ever campaign of the old UCL group-stage format. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]None of Feyenoord’s last 11 matches have been drawn (W5, L6).[/p]
[p]Feyenoord have not kept a clean sheet in their last six games.[/p]
[p]Celtic have scored after the 80th minute at least once in their last four matches. [/p]
[p]Celtic have not found the net before half-time in their last eight European games. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Leo Sauer got his first goal for Feyenoord since March 2024 on Sunday, but none of the Slovakian’s last five scoring appearances have helped his team on the day to victory (D2, L3). Celtic captain Callum McGregor has had no such problems though, having been on the winning side in 15 of his last 16 scoring appearances for club or country (L1), the latest of which was against St. Mirren on Saturday.[/p]
[p]Neither side seems to have any fresh absentees from the weekend. [/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Given Feyenoord’s current defensive vulnerability, predicting more than 2.5 total goals here seems pretty sensible. [/p]
