Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Feyenoord will be aiming to put an extra pressure on league leaders PSV when they welcome Twente to their De Kuip on Sunday. The reigning champions survived Vitesse at the weekend, but they need to keep on winning if they are to defend their trophy. Quilindschy Hartman limped off with injury in the last league match, with Marcos Lopez likely to step up.
Even though all Ramiz Zerrouki, Yankuba Minteh, Ayase Ueda, and Alireza Jahanbakhsh are on international duty, home win should be considered as Twente failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to NEC. In their last meeting in Rotterdam Feyenoord defeated the Reds 2-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the Eredivisie derby, but defender Max Bruns misses the match through suspension.
Highlighted Team (Feyenoord):
Back in 1908 football club Wilhemina was founded in the pub De Vereeniging and they played their home games in blue-sleeved red shirts and white shorts. The club’s name was changed to Hillesluise in 1909 and soon they became RVV Celeritas.
Finally, in 1912 the club got a name SC Feijenoord. Feyenoord won their first Eredivisie trophy in 1924 and 75 years later they clinched their 14th domestic trophy, finishing the season 15 points clear of second-placed Willem II. De Trots van Zuid play their home games at De Kuip and the capacity of the venue is 51 117.
The club’s fiercest rivals are Ajax and the two teams face each other in der Klassieker. The likes of Craig Bellamy, Gerrard Fox, Wouter Bos and Raemon Sluiter are notable supporters of the club. It is well known that football legends Johan Cruyff, Ruud Gullit and Peter Houtman all played for Feyenoord in the past. De Trots van Zuid play their home games in red-white shirts and black shorts.
