Feyenoord

Form: WWDWW

Feyenoord almost saw a leaky defense in their match against Heerenveen away from home, which turned out to be their undoing. However, their resilience was the final piece of the puzzle, which allowed them to secure a narrow 3-2 victory to keep their slim title hopes alive.

In view of that outcome, Feyenoord extended their winning streak in the league to two matches. Although that's not enough recognition for a team that has avoided defeat in their last five matches across all competitions (W4 D1), their most highlighted match during this run was a 2-1 victory over second-tier Groningen in the quarterfinals of the KNVB Beker. 

With 62 points accumulated from 26 matches played, Feyenoord currently sits in second place and has maintained a nine-point cushion over third-placed FC Twente.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Wellenreuther; Geertruida, Beelen, Hancko, Hartman; Wieffer, Zerrouki; Minteh, Timber, Paixao; Gimenez

FC Utrecht

Form: WDLWW

From being at rock bottom in the first half of the season to now fighting tooth and nail for the final European football spot in the second half, this has been the tale of Ron Jans and his team this season, who have undeniably met expectations.

Before the international break, they defeated NEC Nijmegen 1-0 at home, marking their fourth consecutive victory on home turf. This outcome also halted a two-match winless run in the league (L1 D1) and will be backing themselves up for a favorable outcome in this matchup.

With 36 points accumulated from 26 matches played, FC Utrecht currently sits in eighth place in the Eredivisie standings, two points ahead of ninth-placed Fortuna Sittard and three points adrift of sixth-placed NEC Nijmegen. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Barkas; Vesterlund, Flamingo, Viergever, Karouani; Bozdogan, Iqbal; Azarkan, Toornstra, Boussaid; Lammers
