Feyenoord

WWLWLL

Feyenoord will be looking for an improved result here following the 2-1 Eredivisie loss in their previous game against Go Ahead Eagles.

In that game, Feyenoord managed 60% possession and 21 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Feyenoord was Tsuyoshi Watanabe (89'). Go Ahead Eagles had 9 attempts at goal with 5 on target. Mats Deijl (13') and Dean James (86') scored for Go Ahead Eagles.

It has been seldom in recent times that Feyenoord have kept a clean sheet. In fact, Feyenoord have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 9 goals in the process.

Their past results show that Feyenoord:

• are unbeaten in the league by NEC in their last 11 matches. Quite a long unbeaten run against them.
• have not emerged victorious against NEC in their previous 2 matches in the league.

NEC

DDDWLW

NEC will come into the match after a 2-0 Eredivisie win versus FC Groningen in their last game.

In that match, NEC had 56% possession and 13 attempts at goal with 5 on target. For NEC, the goals were scored by Kodai Sano (51') and Kento Shiogai (61'). At the other end, FC Groningen had 10 attempts at goal with 4 on target.

Indicating their penchant for eventful encounters, the back of the net has been hit 20 times in the prior 6 matches in which NEC have sent out their troops, yielding a mean average of 3.33 goals for each fixture. Their opponents have got 9 of these goals. That sort of trend might not be continued into this next game, of course.

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

• haven't beaten Feyenoord when they have played them away from home in the previous 8 league games. Not an away record to be proud of.
• haven't been defeated by Feyenoord when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league matches.
• are without an away win for the past 5 league matches.

ℹ️ Team News: Feyenoord

Gernot Trauner (Achilles tendon problems), Cyle Larin (unknown injury), Thomas Beelen (Broken leg), Shiloh 't Zand (unknown injury), Jaden Slory (unknown injury), Jordan Bos (Hamstring injury), Givairo Read (Hamstring injury), Malcolm Jeng (Achilles tendon rupture), Jakub Moder (Back problems) and In-beom Hwang (unknown injury) will be missing for Feyenoord gaffer Robin van Persie.

It seems likely that De club aan de Maas look set to use the 4-2-3-1 formation this time, beginning the first half with Timon Wellenreuther, Bart Nieuwkoop, Anel Ahmedhodzic, Tsuyoshi Watanabe, Gijs Smal, Luciano Valente, Quinten Timber, Anis Hadj Moussa, Sem Steijn, Leo Sauer and Ayase Ueda.

🗞️ Team News: NEC

In an otherwise full-strength group, there is only a single fitness issue for the NEC boss Dick Schreuder to be concerned with. Bram Nuytinck (Cruciate ligament surgery) won’t be in action.

We believe NEC could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Gonzalo Crettaz, Eliazer Dasa, Philippe Sandler, Ahmetcan Kaplan, Thomas Ouwejan, Darko Nejasmic, Kodai Sano, Sami Ouaissa, Tjaronn Chery, Bryan Linssen and Koki Ogawa.

💭 Prediction

We feel that NEC should have enough to find the net against this Feyenoord team, however it possibly won’t prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We’re going for a 2-1 winning score for Feyenoord by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Looking forward to this.
