Feyenoord — Celtic Prediction, H2H and Probable Lineups — 27 November 2025
On November 27, 2025, in the fifth round of the UEFA Europa League group stage, Feyenoord will host Celtic. Kick-off is scheduled for 18:45 Central European Time. Let’s take a closer look at the potential outcome of this clash.
Feyenoord
Feyenoord approach this match in very poor form. The team has lost three consecutive matches in all competitions and has only one win in their last five games, losing the other four. In their most recent home match, they were defeated 2–4 by Nijmegen in the Eredivisie. At the moment, the team sits second in the Dutch league table but is six points behind leaders PSV. Feyenoord show decent attacking productivity with 33 goals scored in 13 matches, and their 16 goals conceded is currently the best defensive record in the league.
Regarding their home form, they perform slightly better at home, though they have still suffered three defeats in their last six home matches. In the Europa League, Feyenoord have been struggling so far, losing three out of four games. Their latest defeat came against Stuttgart, after earlier losses to Aston Villa and Braga. The only victory — at home against Panathinaikos — allows Feyenoord to sit just 29th in the overall Europa League standings.
As for their head-to-head meetings with Celtic in Rotterdam, the teams last played in the 2023 Champions League, where Feyenoord won 2–0 at home.
Celtic
Celtic are not looking like themselves this season. The Scottish side’s results have been far from convincing across all competitions. Although they managed to win their last two league matches — 4–0 at home against Kilmarnock and 1–0 away against St. Mirren — the team currently sits only in second place, which is unusual, trailing league leaders Hearts by four points. However, they still have a game in hand. Not long ago, Celtic also defeated their biggest rivals, Rangers, in the League Cup and advanced to the final of the tournament.
In the Europa League, Celtic lost their most recent match 1–3 away to Midtjylland. Before that, they lost to Braga and drew with Crvena Zvezda Belgrade. With only one win, at home against Sturm Graz, the team currently holds 27th place in the overall Europa League standings with four points.
Their away form has not been impressive either. Celtic have lost three of their last five away matches, drawing once and winning only once. As for head-to-head meetings with Feyenoord, the teams last met in the 2023 Champions League, where each club won their respective home game.
Probable Lineups
- Feyenoord: Wellenreuther, Watanabe, Nieuwkoop, Ahmedhodzic, Smal, Valente, Timber, Steijn, Sauer, Ueda, Hadj Moussa
- Celtic: Schmeichel, Ralston, Trusty, Scales, Tierney, McGregor, Engels, Hatate, Tounekti, Maeda, Kenny

Feyenoord — Celtic Prediction
Both teams approach this match with one clear goal — to win. A defeat would significantly reduce their chances of competing for the Europa League play-off spot. In their domestic leagues, the clubs show the same results byt are currently in different forms. Celtic recovered after the loss to Midtjylland and won their last two matches, while Feyenoord have fallen into a three-game losing streak. Overall, both teams do not look very convincing this season, especially in defense. Considering the importance of the match and the fact that both sides must play only for the victory, we can expect an open game with goals from both teams. Neither Feyenoord nor Celtic have reliable defensive performances at the moment, so chances to score should appear at both teams. My bet for this match: Both Teams to Score at odds of 1.58.
