Will the Verdiblancos defend eighth place?
Feyenoord Rotterdam is undoubtedly one of the big disappointments in the Europa League group stage. The stadium club lost five of its seven EL games (two wins), but got back within reach thanks to its recent 3-0 home win over Sturm Graz. If the tip for an away win for the Dutch team comes true in Betis Sevilla vs. Feyenoord Rotterdam, the team from the Maas could still make it to the playoffs with a little help.
However, everything is also at stake for the Andalusians, who are strong at home. The Verdiblancos are currently in eighth place and could secure a direct route to the round of 16 with a home win. Even a draw could be too little for the Spaniards.
We certainly expect some action, as both teams are likely to be aiming for all three points given their current position. At the end of the day, however, the Dutch team’s poor away form, having failed to win any of their last 19 (!) away games in the Europa League (seven draws, twelve defeats), scoring only 14 goals in total and losing all three games of the EL league phase on the road in 2025/26, is likely to be too big a factor. This is offset by the Verdiblancos’ fundamentally strong home record, having won four of their last six EL home games (one draw, one defeat), which is why we also see the greatest value in tip 1 of this Betis Sevilla vs. Feyenoord Rotterdam prediction.
It is also striking that the Béticos have been very accurate in front of goal at home. In their last six Europa League home games, Manuel Pellegrini’s team has always scored at least two goals. An exciting alternative to the three-way system is therefore the tip that the Andalusians will also score more than 1.5 goals against the Dutch.
Betis Sevilla – Feyenoord Rotterdam Head-to-head record
Head to head: 0 – 0 – 0
The two teams have never met before in a competitive international match. While Feyenoord Rotterdam has lost three of its last four away games in UEFA main rounds against La Liga representatives (one win), Betis Sevilla has won three of its last five games against Dutch teams (one draw, one defeat), including a 2–1 home win against FC Utrecht on Matchday 5 of the 2025/26 EL group stage.
Betis Sevilla – Feyenoord Rotterdam Tip
Not least due to the fact that the stadium club lost all three Europa League away games in 2025/26 and has now gone 19 games without a win in this competition (seven draws, twelve defeats), our tip for Betis Sevilla vs. Feyenoord Rotterdam is a home win for the Verdiblancos.
Although the Andalusians suffered two setbacks last week, losing 2-0 to PAOK Saloniki and then 2-1 to Alavés in La Liga, the Béticos are still in eighth place, which they can secure with a home win.
Another factor in favor of tip 1 is that Manuel Pellegrini’s team has won four of its last six Europa League home games (one draw, one defeat), scoring at least two goals in all six games and, in 2025/26, holding Nottingham Forest to a 2-2 draw and sending EL leaders Lyon home with a 2-0 defeat.
