Feyenoord didn't win the Eredivisie title last season, but they found their place in the new, redesigned Champions League. Feyenoord opened the 2024/25 season with a trophy in the Super Cup against PSV, but after that, Eredivisie's start was far from satisfying as Feyenoord picked up only six points from four matches. In the previous game, they played 2-2 on the road against Groningen. Guests were in a great position as they had a 2-0 lead until the 81st minute, but the home side scored two goals late in the game, and Feyenoord ended with only one point.
After winning their first Bundesliga title last season, Bayer Leverkusen started the new season with a victory in the Super Cup. Xabi Alonso's team showed that they will be competitive this season, too, as they recorded three wins in four matches since then. Last weekend, Bayer Leverkusen won 4-1 on the road against Hoffenheim. The guests finished the game with an xG of 3.65, while the home side had only 1.08, so a dominant win like that will surely help build the team's confidence ahead of the Champions League opener in Rotterdam.
Feyenoord vs Bayer Leverkusen pick: Over 2.5 goals
Feyenoord scored eight goals in the last three matches. On the other hand, Bayer Leverkusen scored six goals in the previous two games. We should expect at least three goals in the upcoming tie between Feyenoord and Bayer Leverkusen.
Feyenoord team news
Calvin Stengs, one of the best Feyenoord players, is injured and will not play on Thursday against Bayer Leverkusen. The good news for the Dutch side is that defender Hugo Bueno could recover on time for the upcoming tie. Also, Ramiz Zerrouki should have his regular defensive midfielder role after the Algerian missed the previous league game due to suspension.
