At the MHPArena on 6 November 2025, VfB Stuttgart welcome Feyenoord in what promises to be one of the more entertaining Europa League fixtures of the week.
Pick: Both Teams to Score – Yes
The match brings together two offensively dynamic sides who often trade goals, particularly in European competition.
VfB Stuttgart: Home Fortress With Attacking Intent
Under Sebastian Hoeneß, Stuttgart have turned their home ground into a stronghold - five straight wins at the MHPArena across all competitions. The team’s attacking structure is based on width, pace, and quick vertical passing through the lines. Serhou Guirassy continues to be the main threat, supported by Undav and Millot, forming one of the Bundesliga’s most efficient attacking trios. However, Stuttgart’s defensive numbers tell a different story - they’ve conceded in six of their last seven matches, often switching off when controlling possession.
Feyenoord: Dangerous but Defensively Volatile
Feyenoord arrive after an improved domestic run but remain inconsistent in Europe. Their high pressing and fluid attacking shape under Arne Slot make them capable of scoring anywhere, though they frequently leave gaps behind their full-backs. The visitors’ record - two away defeats in Europe (0–1 Braga, 2–5 Fenerbahçe) - illustrates that they create chances but are vulnerable when defending transitions. Expect Santiago Giménez to lead the line, with Paixão and Wieffer providing creativity and late runs into the box.
