Feyenoord host Inter at Stadion Feijenoord in Rotterdam on Tuesday night in the UEFA Champions League, in a repeat of last season’s round-of-16 tie. Both sides have three points from three games, so neither can afford a fourth game without a win, and Inter won 2-0 at this ground in March 2025.
This Feyenoord vs Inter prediction is a fascinating one for bettors because both defences are reshuffled — Inter without their suspended centre-back and two injured defenders, Feyenoord without three long-term absentees — at a ground where Feyenoord are unbeaten domestically.
Feyenoord vs Inter Match Preview
Feyenoord’s domestic form has held up well, with draws against Fortuna Sittard and PSV either side of a 4-3 win at Telstar, while their European form has been mixed: a 3-2 win over Como sits between a 5-1 defeat at Barcelona and a 1-0 defeat at Real Betis. Inter’s unbeaten Serie A start ended with the 3-1 derby defeat to AC Milan on 31 October, but they had won their previous four, including a 1-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk in Europe.

Tip 1 – Result: Inter win. Tip 2 – Over-Under 2.5: Over 2.5 goals. Tip 3 – BTTS Yes-No: Both teams to score – Yes.
Inter’s reshuffled defence is a concern, but their midfield quality and their record at De Kuip should see them through a high-scoring game against a Feyenoord side that always scores at home.
