Feyenoord vs Celtic — Recent Performance

Feyenoord and Celtic meet in what feels like a pivotal Europa League league-phase fixture, with both clubs sitting outside the top 24 and needing results to steady turbulent seasons. The Dutch champions have paired strong domestic numbers with patchy European performances, while Celtic’s campaign has swung between crisis and revival spells under interim guidance.

• Feyenoord’s split personality: Robin van Persie’s side have looked like title contenders in the Eredivisie for long stretches, regularly dominating the ball and generating strong chance creation metrics, but their Europa League outings have been far more disjointed.
• Home strength at De Kuip: In Rotterdam, Feyenoord typically play with intensity and width, often pinning visitors back for long spells. Even during their recent dip, their attacking unit of Moussa, Steijn, Sauer and Ueda continues to pose problems at home.
• European setbacks: Early Champions League elimination and mixed results in this league phase have checked momentum, with defeats starting to bleed into domestic form and turning a flying start into a moderate wobble in the Eredivisie table.
• Celtic’s turbulent season: The Scottish champions have dealt with off-field unrest, a change in the dugout and a patchy run of results, including early Champions League disappointment and inconsistent Europa League performances.
• Recent response under O’Neill: Performances have generally improved since Martin O’Neill stepped in on an interim basis, with Celtic winning four of their last five in all competitions and securing a statement win over Rangers in the League Cup.
• Away form under scrutiny: Despite that uptick, Celtic’s record on the road in Europe remains fragile, with defensive lapses and injuries forcing reshuffles across the back line and front three as they look for a more stable platform abroad.
