The match of the 8th round of the group stage of the Europa League 2025/26 between Betis and Feyenoord will take place 29 january at the Olympic Stadium in Seville. Betis vs Feyenoord: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Betis
Betis had long been one of the teams without a defeat in the current Europa League season, but in the last round the six-match unbeaten run ended. The home side lost 0:2 away to PAOK, conceding two goals — as many as in the previous five matches combined. The club remained in the automatic qualification zone for the round of 16, but now the hosts are on the very edge of the top eight. A number of rivals are pressing from below, so any dropped points in the decisive game against Feyenoord could leave the hosts facing play-offs.
- The team scored in 6 of their last 8 Europa League matches.
- The hosts conceded more than one goal in only 2 of their last 9 home matches in this competition.
- At least 2 goals have been scored in each of Betis’s last 6 home matches in the Europa League.
Potential Betis Lineup (4-3-3)*
Pau López – Ricardo Rodríguez, Valentín Gómez, Ángel Ortiz, Diego Llorente – Nelson Deossa, Pablo Fornals, Sergi Altimira – Aitor Ruibal, Pablo García, Chimy Ávila.
Cédric Bakambu has served a suspension. Midfielders Sofyan Amrabat, Isco and Giovani Lo Celso, forwards Kucho Hernández and Rodrigo Riquelme, and defenders Héctor Bellerín, Aitor Ruibal and Junior Firpo are unavailable due to health issues.
Feyenoord
Feyenoord’s last Europa League match ended in a 3:0 win over Sturm, but before that the visitors suffered three defeats in a row. Over the past seven rounds in this season’s European competition, the visitors have taken just two wins and failed to collect any points in the other five games. Nevertheless, thanks to the positive result in the previous fixture the visiting team can still sneak into the play-offs. Truth be told, the gap from 24th place is 2 points, so now only a win will do for Feyenoord, and even a victory does not guarantee that the club will finish the group stage in the play-off zone.
- The team conceded in 9 of their last 10 Europa League games.
- The visitors’ uncompromising run in this European competition is seven matches long (2 wins, 5 defeats).
- At least 2 goals have been scored in six consecutive Europa League matches involving Feyenoord.
Potential Feyenoord Lineup (4-3-3)*
Timon Wellenroither – Jordan Lotomba, Anel Ahmedhodzic, Tsuyoshi Watanabe, Jordan Bos – Sam Stein, Luciano Valente, Hwang In-beom – Gonçalo Borges, Anis Hadj-Moussa, Ayase Ueda.
Defenders Gernot Trauner, Thomas Beelen, Malcolm Yeng, Gijs Smal, Jivairo Reid, forward Gaoussou Diarra and midfielder Jakub Moder are injured.

Betis vs Feyenoord: Match Prediction
Last Thursday Betis lost to PAOK, but nothing catastrophic happened. The hosts were beaten by a strong opponent who is fighting to get into the top eight, and that match was away. Prior to that the home side had recorded three consecutive Europa League wins, including perfect home results against Lyon and Utrecht. Overall the club has won four of their last six home matches in the competition, and in all six matches Betis scored at least two goals.
Feyenoord must win, but their chances look rather slim. Over the past seven Europa League rounds the visitors have collected only six points in total, and all six points were taken in the Netherlands. On the road the club has only defeats, and this has been a problem for more than one season. Feyenoord have not won in 15 away Europa League matches, and in 10 of those 15 matches the visiting team lost in regular time.
The hosts also have strong motivation, so they look preferable right now. The forecast — Betis to win.
