"Making an immediate return to winning ways over the weekend as they clinched a 1-0 victory against Groningen, the Dutch giants have registered 19 points from their first seven Eredivisie appearances and they are currently leading the chase at the top of the table. Looking to collect a heavyweight scalp on Thursday night, Feyenoord will also be excited by their extended success at De Kuip."
"Yet to make a single appearance across any competition so far this season, Feyenoord will once again be without former Brighton midfielder Jakub Moder on Thursday night. However, despite serving a domestic suspension over the weekend, summer recruit and ex-Sheffield United defender Anel Ahmedhodzic should make a full return at the back. Despite still waiting to open his Feyenoord account after completing a permanent switch from Benfica back in July, Casper Tengstedt should keep his spot leading the line."
Feyenoord have struggled in their Europa League opener with a 1-0 defeat at Braga but dominate domestically, claiming 19 points from seven Eredivisie matches and leading the table. The hosts have won four competitive home fixtures by an aggregate 7-1 and seek a significant European scalp at De Kuip. Jakub Moder remains unavailable, while Anel Ahmedhodzic is set to return to the defence; Casper Tengstedt should lead the attack and Quinten Timber will occupy midfield. Aston Villa have been inconsistent but recorded back-to-back wins, including a 3-1 Premier League victory over Fulham under Unai Emery.
