Feyenoord

Feyenoord were founded in 1908 and play their home games at Stadion Feijenoord in Netherlands.

Feyenoord, founded in 1908, play at Stadion Feijenoord and sit second in the Eredivisie. Their season has also taken in the KNVB Beker second round, the Champions League third qualifying round and the Europa League league phase.

The squad is large, with 44 players and an average age of 24, which gives them the look of a club carrying both depth and churn. Their attacking numbers are strong enough to command attention: 2.3 goals per home match, with 1.8 away, though they are not especially watertight at either end.

Ayase Ueda has been the clear cutting edge with 26 goals, well ahead of Anis Hadj Moussa on 12. Sem Steijn, Casper Tengstedt and Tsuyoshi Watanabe have also contributed, giving Feyenoord more than one route to goal. They have struck first inside 20 minutes in five of 16 league matches, so early concentration is not optional.

Recent league form has been steady rather than spectacular: a 2-0 win at PEC Zwolle followed draws and wins against AZ, Fortuna Sittard, FC Groningen, NEC Nijmegen and FC Volendam. For Celtic supporters, Feyenoord are a technically capable Dutch side in a strong league position, with enough attacking weight to make any meeting awkward.

📈 Key stats and insights

⚔️ How they compare to Celtic

For Celtic supporters, the contrast is fairly straightforward: Feyenoord's profile is that of an attack-first side with enough quality to hurt good teams, but with less defensive assurance than Celtic would expect from their own best domestic runs. Their scoring output is strong and their corner numbers suggest sustained pressure, yet they do concede more readily than a truly dominant side should. Celtic would look at this as an opponent with genuine attacking punch, but also one whose structure can be exposed if the game is played at speed and with conviction.

Feyenoord have worse recent form than Celtic, who have six wins in their last six games.

Feyenoord arrive in steady rather than explosive form. They are unbeaten across their last six league matches, but three draws in that run hint at a side leaving points behind rather than building real momentum. The away wins at PEC Zwolle and Fortuna Sittard were efficient, while the 1-1 draws with AZ and NEC suggest they can be controlled when games stay tight.

📈 League position analysis

After 34 games, Feyenoord are placed second in the league.

Feyenoord Celtic

There has been almost no movement in Feyenoord's league position late in the season. They have sat second for each of the last six rounds and finish there after 34 matches, which points to a side that has been consistently strong but not quite forceful enough to push on to the top spot. That kind of stability usually reflects a reliable level, though not one that has threatened to break the title race open.

Feyenoord, with two wins, three draws and one loss, have worse away form in Netherlands's Eredivisie, compared with how Celtic are faring in the Scottish Premiership. Celtic have four wins, one draw and one loss in their last six away games in the league.

The split is slightly unusual: Feyenoord are more prolific at home, but they are defensively cleaner away from Rotterdam. At De Kuip they score more freely and win plenty of attacking territory, yet they also concede at the weakest rate of the three sides in this comparison; on the road they create a little less but own the best away defensive record. In practice, that makes them look more expansive at home and a touch more controlled away.

💪 Strengths and weaknesses

How well-rounded are Feyenoord across key performance areas this season?

Feyenoord
Celtic

For Celtic supporters, the contrast is fairly straightforward: Feyenoord's profile is that of an attack-first side with enough quality to hurt good teams, but with less defensive assurance than Celtic would expect from their own best domestic runs. Their scoring output is strong and their corner numbers suggest sustained pressure, yet they do concede more readily than a truly dominant side should. Celtic would look at this as an opponent with genuine attacking punch, but also one whose structure can be exposed if the game is played at speed and with conviction.

The standout strength is obvious enough: Feyenoord are an aggressive attacking side with the best scoring rate in this comparison and a particularly forceful home attack. Their corner numbers support that, showing a team that pins opponents back and generates repeated pressure. The weakness is equally clear: defensively they sit behind Ajax and Utrecht overall, and their home defensive numbers are especially loose for a team operating near the top, so the balance is tilted more toward chance creation than control.

Feyenoord are the strongest attacking side in this comparison, scoring at a better rate than both Ajax and FC Utrecht, and that edge is most obvious at home where they set the pace. The trade-off is at the other end, where they rank behind both rivals overall for goals conceded. So the picture is clear enough: compared with Ajax they offer slightly more punch but less security, and compared with Utrecht they carry far more attacking weight while still showing a softer defensive side than elite teams usually want.

Away

There is a clear home-and-away split in Feyenoord's discipline. They are relatively controlled at home, but their yellow-card rate almost doubles on the road, which suggests a side more willing to foul transitions or manage difficult moments away from home. The red-card numbers are low enough not to be a defining feature.

🫣 Biggest defeat

The ceiling is plainly high: a 7-0 away win and a 6-1 home win show that Feyenoord can overwhelm weaker opponents once they gain control. The floor is less dramatic but still revealing, with a 3-0 away defeat and a 4-2 home loss showing that when games get stretched they do not always have the defensive base to recover. In short, they have the firepower to run away with matches, but not always the restraint to keep them tidy.

⛳ Corners awarded

Away
⛳ Corners conceded

Away

Feyenoord's corner profile is one of the more persuasive indicators of territorial control. They win a high volume both home and away, and they concede very few, which usually points to a team spending long spells in the opposition half rather than trading transitions. The home figure is especially strong, underlining how much pressure they can sustain when games are played on their terms.

The goal threat starts with Ayase Ueda. His return dwarfs the rest of the squad, with Anis Hadj Moussa the only other player into double figures across all competitions, so this is not an attack driven by equal contribution across the front line. Feyenoord do get secondary output from midfield and defence, but the scoring burden is still carried heavily by one central figure.

Feyenoord are not especially fast starters with the ball, but they are vulnerable to early disruption without it. Their first goals are spread across the match rather than concentrated in the opening spell, whereas concessions come regularly in the first half-hour and again late on. That suggests opponents can unsettle them early, and if games remain alive into the closing stages they are still open enough to give chances up.

Using 44 players across the campaign suggests broad squad involvement, but the core remains easy to identify. Timon Wellenreuther's 33 starts point to stability in goal, while Ayase Ueda's 25 league goals show where the decisive attacking output comes from. So this is not a side built on a tiny group of ever-presents, yet the key functions still rest with a recognisable spine rather than being evenly distributed across the squad.
