📋 Team News: FC Zwolle

In all likelihood, Blauwvingers may well opt for a 4-5-1 system for this one featuring Jasper Schendelaar, Eliano Reijnders, Nick Fichtinger, A. Garcia McNulty, Thierry Lutonda, Davy van den Berg, Anouar El Azzouzi, Braydon Manu, Odysseus Velanas, Filip Krastev and Thomas Buitink.

📋 Team News: Feyenoord

Feyenoord manager Brian Priske has some current player fitness concerns. Gernot Trauner (Thigh problems) and Quilindschy Hartman (Knee surgery) can’t be considered.

There’s a good chance that De club aan de Maas could decide to begin the game with a 3-4-3 system, starting the game with Timon Wellenreuther, Lutsharel Geertruida, Neraysho Kasanwirjo, David Hancko, Bart Nieuwkoop, Antoni Milambo, Ramiz Zerrouki, Marcos Lopez, Luka Ivanusec, Igor Paixao and Santiago Gimenez.

🔮 Prediction

In this match, Feyenoord should see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

In contrast, FC Zwolle might well find it difficult to find the back of the net although we think that they will probably end up getting the chances to score, too.

Accordingly, we see a 1-3 winning margin for Feyenoord at the end of this one.
