📋 Team News: Feyenoord

Gjivai Zechiël (Knee injury) and Quilindschy Hartman (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be able to play for Feyenoord boss Arne Slot.

It’s our opinion that De club aan de Maas could use a 4-3-3 system this time with Timon Wellenreuther, Bart Nieuwkoop, Thomas Beelen, David Hancko, Lutsharel Geertruida, Calvin Stengs, Mats Wieffer, Quinten Timber, Yankuba Minteh, Santiago Gimenez and Igor Paixao.

🗞️ Team News: NEC

NEC manager Rogier Meijer has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Kas de Wit (unknown injury), Bas Dost (heart problems) and Yvandro Borges Sanches (Cruciate ligament tear) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

It’s our belief that NEC could decide to make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Jasper Cillessen, Brayann Pereira, Philippe Sandler, Bram Nuytinck, Calvin Verdonk, Mees Hoedemakers, Dirk Proper, Sontje Hansen, Tjaronn Chery, Kodai Sano and Koki Ogawa.

🧠 Prediction

Our feeling is that Feyenoord will most probably get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.

In contrast, NEC could well struggle to break down their defence - but, we do see them managing to get on the scoresheet as well here.

Therefore, we are anticipating a comfortable 3-1 win for Feyenoord by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
