It’s been all too rare in recent times where Go Ahead Eagles have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Go Ahead Eagles have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 7 goals during that time. We shall soon see if that trend can be continued on in this game.

A sequence of dependable showings by the Feyenoord defensive players has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their previous 6 clashes in total. In that period, their own forwards have managed to score 14.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Feyenoord:

• haven't been beaten by Go Ahead Eagles when they've played them away from home in the last 2 league matches.

↔️ Head to head

Looking at their past head to head results going back to 05/04/2017 tells us that these fixtures have ended in disappointment for Go Ahead Eagles. They’ve not been able to get any wins whatsoever whereas Feyenoord have been dominant against them, running out winners in 100 per cent of those games where they have faced each other.

Those games weren’t short on goals, either, with 25 in total which averages out at 4.17 goals per meeting.

The last league encounter between the two was Eredivisie match day 10 on 30/09/2023 and the score finished Feyenoord 3-1 Go Ahead Eagles.

📰 Team News: Go Ahead Eagles

The Go Ahead Eagles manager René Hake will be thankful to have no fitness concerns to speak of coming into this clash with a fully healthy group to pick from.

We are thinking that Trots aan de IJssel will possibly kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system for this one and select Jeffrey De Lange, Mats Deijl, Gerrit Nauber, Joris Kramer, Bas Kuipers, Evert Linthorst, Xander Blomme, Bobby Adekanye, Willum Willumsson, Oliver Edvardsen and Thibo Baeten.

ℹ️ Team News: Feyenoord

Feyenoord boss Arne Slot has to currently contend with reduced team options. Mats Wieffer (Thigh problems), Igor Paixão (Hamstring injury), Gjivai Zechiël (Knee injury) and Quilindschy Hartman (Knee surgery) will not be playing here.

It’s our belief that De club aan de Maas appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out Timon Wellenreuther, Bart Nieuwkoop, Thomas Beelen, David Hancko, Lutsharel Geertruida, Quinten Timber, Ramiz Zerrouki, Yankuba Minteh, Calvin Stengs, Igor Paixao and Santiago Gimenez.

💡 Prediction

We envisage that Go Ahead Eagles will likely be able to put one past this Feyenoord outfit, but one goal might not quite be enough to prevent defeat.

We therefore reckon that it will be a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 advantage for Feyenoord when all is said and done. Expecting it to be very competitive.
