Feyenoord (home)
- Feyenoord Rotterdam have won their last two home games and have three wins, one draw and one loss in their last five.
- This Feyenoord Rotterdam vs Aston Villa prediction highlights their mixed record in the last few games, with their draw at AZ Alkmaar (3-3), a 1-0 defeat at SC Braga in the Europa League, and a 1-0 win at FC Groningen in their last three games, but they have been much better at home, winning their last two.
Aston Villa (away)
- Aston Villa are winless in their last three away games, drawing two and losing one.
- The Villans sit 13th in the group with three points from one game, while Feyenoord are 28th and pointless after one match.
- Our Feyenoord Rotterdam vs Aston Villa betting tips include keeping an eye on John McGinn, who is Aston Villa’s leading scorer in the Europa League with one goal in one appearance, and his two goals in Villa’s last five games make him the team’s best bet for getting on the board this Thursday night.
- Douglas Luiz is the anchor in the middle of the park for Villa, while Ollie Watkins brings pace and movement at the very top of the formation.
- Watkins’ ability to stretch defences with his runs creates space for the likes of McGinn and his teammates, while their ability to play in small spaces and dictate the pace of the game gives Villa a creative spark.
Feyenoord
- Quinten Timber is the trigger for the Dutch side, dictating the tempo of the match from midfield and moves forward to cover ground quickly.
- Igor Paixão brings creativity and a direct style of play from the flanks that can make an attacking impact.
- Santiago Giménez is one of the most clinical finishers in Europe, and if he is afforded space on the break or in transitions - as Villa may try to do - the Mexican will punish them.
Aston Villa
- John McGinn is Villa’s Europa League leading scorer with one goal in one appearance and has two goals in Villa’s last five games.
- Douglas Luiz is the anchor in midfield.
- Ollie Watkins brings pace and movement at the top of the formation.
