Feyenoord welcome Aston Villa in a fascinating European clash at De Kuip, Rotterdam, with kick-off set for 20:00 on Thursday night. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both sides arrive with a point to prove after a tense opening group fixture, and the tactical battle between two well-drilled teams is sure to draw the attention of punters and neutrals alike.

Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on the opening round\u2019s defensive trends and the lack of clear-cut attacking leaders from either side, here are our top betting recommendations for this match. We\u2019re particularly confident in a low-scoring encounter due to both teams\u2019 defensive strengths and Villa\u2019s standout goalkeeping performance last time out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n21\/20 @ Bet365<\/a>
(48.8%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBoth teams managed just 1 goal combined in their openers; Villa\u2019s keeper made 7 saves. Goals have been hard to come by for Aston Villa but they’ve looked improved in their last two games, winning against Bologna and Fulham. Feyenoord haven’t lost in the league this season but three of their last four games have seen two or less goals.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Aston Villa to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n29\/20 @ Bet365<\/a>
(40.8%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nVilla\u2019s defensive solidity and clinical edge from the last round tips this in their favour. Aston Villa have found this season tough, scoring just four goals in six Premier League games. They looked much improved in the Europa League though, defeating Bologna 1-0. It’s been a different story for Feyenoord, who top the Eredivisie but lost their opening Europa League game 1-0 to Sporting Braga.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our approach: Start with Under 2.5 Goals, add Villa to Win for accumulator potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Odds correct at the time of writing.<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n
