If you’re searching for the most reliable Feyenoord vs Sturm Graz prediction ahead of their UEFA Europa League meeting on January 22, 2026, you’ve come to the right place. Our NerdyTips team has gathered all the latest news, stats, and betting tips to help you make smart choices for this 17:45 GMT kickoff at De Kuip, Rotterdam. Whether you’re a stats nerd, a casual punter, or just here for the football banter, let’s break down what you need to know before placing your bets.
Feyenoord, affectionately known as the pride of Rotterdam, are set to host Sturm Graz in what promises to be a lively Europa League encounter. The Dutch giants have been under the guidance of Robin van Persie since early 2025, with René Hake assisting. While Van Persie may be better known for his acrobatic volleys, he’s been shaping Feyenoord with a blend of classic Dutch total football and modern European pragmatism—think possession football, quick transitions, and a dash of defensive steel.
However, the home side’s squad depth is being tested. Key players like Gernot Trauner and Bart Nieuwkoop are sidelined with injuries, and the likes of Jakub Moder and Thomas Beelen are also out. There’s some good news though: Anis Hadj Moussa is back from AFCON duties, and Ayase Ueda—Feyenoord’s 18-goal striker—remains a reliable threat up front.
Sturm Graz, meanwhile, have just welcomed Fabio Ingolitsch as their new head coach, hoping his fresh ideas can spark a turnaround. The Austrian visitors are dealing with their own injury woes, with Dimitri Lavalée and Leon Grgic both out. They’ve also lost Tochi Chukwuani to Rangers, which leaves Otar Kiteishvili as their main man for goals in Europe (with, admittedly, just one to his name).
Now, let’s get to the Feyenoord vs Sturm Graz prediction that matters for your bet slip. The bookies are leaning heavily towards a home win, with Feyenoord priced at 1.41, a draw at 6.0, and a Sturm Graz upset at 8.25. The home side’s squad is valued at a whopping €236.05m compared to Sturm Graz’s €53.08m, and the predicted stats reflect that gulf in quality.
NerdyTips’ AI recommends the over 2.5 goals market as the best value, with odds of 1.41 and a trust level of 6.6.00. The 1x2 prediction is a home win (1) with a confidence level of 4.6/10. The predicted final score? A lively 3:2, suggesting both teams will find the net—so don’t be surprised if the first half ends 1:1 before things open up.
Despite Feyenoord’s injury list, their attacking firepower and home advantage should see them dominate. Sturm Graz have shown they can frustrate bigger sides—just ask Lille, who were held to a surprise draw last year—but their away record and lack of cutting edge up front are concerns. Feyenoord’s history of high-scoring games in Europe and their previous 6-0 win in this head to head also strengthen the case for betting on goals.
To wrap up our Feyenoord vs Sturm Graz prediction, all signs point to an entertaining Europa League fixture with plenty of goalmouth action. While Feyenoord’s squad depth is being tested, their attacking quality and home advantage should see them through. Sturm Graz might sneak a goal or two, but the Dutch side’s firepower is likely to prove decisive. For punters, the over 2.5 goals market looks the safest play, but don’t rule out a flutter on a high-scoring home win.
Whatever your betting angle, may your tips be sharp and your nerves steady—after all, this is European football, and anything can happen!
