Read Rationale ▾
Feyenoord average 14.3 shots and concede 1.86 goals per game in Europe. Betis boast high pass success and wide threats like Antony, but struggle with set pieces. Both sides possess high-volume shooting mentalities and clear defensive vulnerabilities, making goals at both ends highly probable at La Cartuja.
Read Rationale ▾
Betis dominate possession (53.2%) and have superior passing accuracy. While Feyenoord create high shot volume, their weakness against counter-attacks aligns with Betis’ strength on the wings. A narrow home win reflects Betis’ technical control balanced against their defensive fragility on set pieces and through balls.

Real Betis vs Feyenoord Predictions and Best Bets
Real Betis vs Feyenoord — BetMGM Market Snapshot
Key markets with illustrative probabilities and sample BetMGM odds based on match analysis.
- Top-eight tension: Betis are 8th and clinging on by goal difference, after going 4W-2D-1L in the league phase — one wobble and the table bites back.
- Shot-factory visitors: Feyenoord average 16.9 shots per game across their matches listed and 14.3 in Europa League games — they don’t arrive to hide.
- Goals at both ends: Feyenoord concede 1.86 per Europa League match and their last three in the competition have all gone over 2.5 goals — danger and opportunity in equal measure. per match (84% accurate).
Offensive Volume: Europa League Shot Frequency
Feyenoord’s high-risk strategy results in significant shot volume compared to Betis’ more structured approach.
Focus on wide combinations and counter-attacks leads to selective but high-quality opportunities.
A relentless shooting mentality often leaves gaps for opponents to exploit in transition.
Defensive Stability: Goals Conceded per Game
The contrast in defensive balance is stark across their respective European campaigns so far.
Maintain a solid structure but face challenges defending set pieces and through balls.
Defensive fragility, particularly against counter-attacks, has defined their recent matches.
La Cartuja under the lights has a simple message: finish the job. Real Betis start the final league-phase matchday sitting eighth, just inside the golden line on goal difference, after a European run built on control and results. But the recent mood is edgy — defeats at PAOK and Deportivo Alavés have put a sharp edge on a night that needs calm heads.
Feyenoord arrive way down in 26th, and that’s exactly why they’re dangerous. They play with volume, they shoot relentlessly, and they’ve shown they can land a punch — 3-0 vs Sturm Graz last time out in Europe. Kick-off is 20:00. Betis want structure. Feyenoord want noise.
Team News & Lineups
Real Betis (Manager: Manuel Pellegrini)
- Out/Unavailable:
- S. Amrabat (ankle surgery)
- F. Alarcón Suárez (ankle injury)
- R. Rodríguez Araya (unknown injury)
- J. Hernández Suárez (hamstring injury, out until 10.02.2026)
- Probable lineup: Lopez; Ortiz, Llorente, Natan, Rodriguez; Altimira, Fornals, Deossa; Antony, Ezzalzouli, Avila
- Implication: Missing midfield options puts more responsibility on Pablo Fornals to dictate rhythm. If Betis can’t control central transitions, this turns into a sprint.
Feyenoord (Manager: Robin van Persie)
- Out/Unavailable: No injuries or suspensions listed.
- Probable lineup: Wellenreuther; Lotomba, Kraaijeveld, Plug, Bos; Hwang, Steijn, Targhalline; Hadj Moussa, Sauer; Ueda
- Implication: The shape screams “chance creation.” With Ayase Ueda (18 Eredivisie goals) and Anis Hadj Moussa (6 goals, 4 assists) in the mix, Betis’ back line will be asked questions all night.
The Tale of the Tape
| Metric | Real Betis | Feyenoord |
|---|---|---|
| League-phase position | 8th | 26th |
| Europa League record | 4W-2D-1L | 2W-0D-5L |
| Europa League goals (GF/GA) | 11 / 6 | 10 / 13 |
| Shots per game (Europa League) | 13.1 | 14.3 |
| Possession (Europa League) | 53.2% | 51.0% |
| Pass success (Europa League) | 87.1% | 84.0% |
Betis look like the cleaner operators: higher pass accuracy, better defensive balance, and the results to match. Feyenoord bring raw volume and risk — plenty of goals scored, plenty conceded. If Betis get their tempo right, they can pin Feyenoord back. If they don’t, the visitors have the tools to turn this into a shot-trading scrap.

Tactical Battle: How the Match Plays Out
Betis: width, combinations, and the Antony–Ezzalzouli edge
Betis are built to hurt you out wide. Their strengths include attacking down the wings, counter-attacks, and creating chances — and the personnel in the front line fits that perfectly. Antony (5 goals, 4 assists) and Abde Ezzalzouli (4 goals, 3 assists, rating 7.26) give Betis two direct outlets who can beat a man and create shooting lanes.
Expect Betis to push play down the left, get runners beyond, and look for quick combinations around the box. They’re also comfortable shooting — “take a lot of shots” and “take long shots” is part of the identity — and that can matter if Feyenoord defend deep and block the centre.
But there’s a red flag in the match-up: Betis are weak defending against through balls and defending set pieces. That’s exactly the kind of flaw Feyenoord can poke all evening.
Feyenoord: shots, through balls, and a very real counter-attack problem
Feyenoord’s strengths list reads like a warning label: creating chances through individual skill, through balls, set pieces, stealing the ball, and aerial duels. They want territory in the opposition half, and they’re happy taking risks to get it.
Ueda is the headline threat, but it’s not just him. Sem Steijn (7 goals) offers late runs and shots from central areas, while Hadj Moussa brings pace and end product. If Betis’ offside trap mistimes it even once, Feyenoord will try to slip a runner through.
The twist is Feyenoord’s big weakness: they’re very weak defending counter attacks. That’s a tactical alarm bell against a Betis side that thrives on counters and wide breaks. If Feyenoord push full-backs on and lose the ball, Betis can explode into the space.
Where it tilts
This feels like a clash between Betis’ controlled passing (87.1%) and Feyenoord’s shot-heavy aggression. If Betis score first, they can make Feyenoord chase and punish the gaps. If Feyenoord land the first blow, Betis have to step forward — and that’s when through balls and set pieces become a real problem.
Key Moments to Watch
- Set-piece swings: Betis have a weakness defending set pieces; Feyenoord are very strong at both attacking and defending them. That could decide a tight spell.
- Transitions after turnovers: Feyenoord’s counter-attack defending is a known soft spot. Betis’ wide attackers will fancy that space if it opens up.
- Discipline under stress: Betis average 2.06 yellow cards per match (66 total), and Feyenoord have 3 red cards across their matches listed — if the game turns frantic, cards can reshape it.
What could go wrong?
For Betis, it’s the “one bad moment” scenario: a through ball in behind, a cheap set piece conceded, and suddenly your control means nothing. For Feyenoord, it’s over-commitment — chase the game too hard, lose your shape, and Betis’ wide counters can turn into quick, brutal chances.

The Punter’s Cheat Sheet
| Factor | The Numbers | Betting Signal |
| Scoring | Betis 11 GF; Feyenoord 10 GF | Back BTTS |
| Defense | Feyenoord concede 1.86/gm | Over 2.5 Goals |
| Shooting | Betis 13.1; Feyenoord 14.3/gm | High Shot Count |
| Passing | Betis 87.1%; Feyenoord 84.0% | Betis Win/Draw |
Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals
The tactical setup at La Cartuja points directly toward a high-scoring encounter where neither goalkeeper will have a quiet evening. Feyenoord arrive with a clear offensive identity, averaging 14.3 shots per game in the Europa League. Their reliance on through balls and set pieces—areas where they are statistically strong—targets the exact defensive weaknesses identified in the Betis backline.
Betis provide the perfect dance partner for a high-scoring game because they are clinically efficient out wide but vulnerable in transition. With players like Antony and Abde Ezzalzouli, who maintain a 7.26 rating, the home side is built to exploit Feyenoord’s primary weakness: defending counter-attacks. Feyenoord’s defensive record in this competition is a major concern, conceding an average of 1.86 goals per match. This means Betis will have ample opportunities to find the net, especially given their 87.1% pass success rate which allows them to sustain pressure in the final third.
Feyenoord’s recent European matches have been chaotic, with their last three outings all surpassing the 2.5-goal threshold. Ayase Ueda, with 18 domestic goals, leads a frontline that thrives on the volume of chances created. Because Betis are fighting to maintain their top-eight position and Feyenoord are desperate to climb from 26th, neither side can afford to sit back. This urgency will naturally open spaces as the game progresses.
What could go wrong?
The primary risk is a “managerial masterclass” of stagnation, where Manuel Pellegrini prioritizes the point needed for top-eight security over attacking flair. If Betis use their 53.2% possession to simply kill the clock and Feyenoord fail to find their usual shooting rhythm, the game could grind into a low-scoring tactical stalemate.
Correct Score Lean
Real Betis 2-1 Feyenoord
This scoreline accounts for Betis’ technical superiority at home and Feyenoord’s relentless attacking nature. Betis have the quality to dominate possession and exploit Feyenoord’s weak counter-attack defense through Ezzalzouli and Antony. However, Betis’ known frailties against set pieces and through balls make a clean sheet unlikely against a Feyenoord side that averages over 14 shots per game. A 2-1 result reflects a match where Betis find the necessary goals to secure their top-eight status while still conceding to an aggressive, volume-shooting opponent.
