- Competition: Europa League
- Date: Thursday, 6th April 2025
- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
- Venue: MHPArena (Stuttgart)
One of the most interesting matches in the upcoming Europa League round will be played at MHPArena, where Stuttgart will welcome Feyenoord. Neither of the two teams started well this season in the second most important continental competition, but the upcoming clash could be a good opportunity for both sides to return to the right track. Can Stuttgart continue their strong home stadium form? Let's break down the match and find the best betting option.
H2H stats
There is no dominant team in the matches between Stuttgart, as both sides have won three of eight H2H games, while two ended with draws. Another interesting fact about matches between these two teams is that seven of eight encounters ended with at least three goals.
Stuttgart team overview
After one weaker season, Stuttgart returned among the best Bundesliga teams this year. They are fourth in the domestic league, and returning to the Champions League seems realistic. However, things are not that bright in the Europa League, as Stuttgart collected only three points in three rounds and needs to start picking up points to progress to the knockout phase. Sebastian Hoeness' team was solid lately, with two victories in the last three matches. In the most recent outing, Stuttgart lost 3-1 on the road against RB Leipzig.
Stuttgart lost over the weekend, but the head coach, Sebastian Hoeness, still saw some positives from the game. He said, "We just lacked the decisive cutting edge today. We matched Leipzig for long stretches and can take some positives from this match."
Stuttgart have big problems with injuries. They will be without Ermedin Demirovic, Lorenz Assignon, Justin Diehl, Silas, and Dan-Axel Zagadou on Thursday night against Feyenoord.

Feyenoord team overview
Like Stuttgart, Feyenoord could also be partially satisfied with the 2025/26 season. In the Dutch Eredivisie, things are looking great, as the Rotterdam team is at the top of the standings. Things are much more uncertain in the Europa League, where Feyenoord collected only three points so far. Robin van Persie's team played well recently, with four victories in the previous five games in all competitions. Last weekend, Feyenoord won 3-1 at home against Volendam. The home side ended with an xG of 4.82, while the guests had only 0.97, so Feyenoord could win even with a bigger margin.
Feyenoord dominated against Volendam but missed an opportunity to increase the difference in goals. The head coach, Robin van Persie, talked about that after the game. He commented, "From that perspective, I'm not happy with a 3-1 win. There should have been more goals. Ultimately, that could be decisive."
Feyenoord will be without Thomas Beelen, Justin Bijlow, Jordan Bos, Liam Bossin, Malcolm Jeng, Jakub Moder, and Gernot Trauner on Thursday in Stuttgart. Also, Sem Steijn is questionable.
