Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Sunday’s football game at GelreDome pits together Vitesse and Feyenoord, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Vitas are desperate to escape the relegation zone, but they will have a mountain to climb against the reigning champions. To make things even worse for the home side, midfielder Kacper Kozlowski serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
The title holders, on the other hand, are eager to melt PSV’s advantage in the Eredivisie standings. As Feyenoord will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways, we are tempted to put our money on Arne Slot’s men. Bear in mind, though, that all Ramiz Zerrouki, Yankuba Minteh, Ayase Ueda, and Alireza Jahanbakhsh are on international duty. In the first half of the season Feyenoord recorded a routine 4-0 win over Vitesse at De Kuip.
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.
