Feyenoord

Form: LWWWL

Following a loss at home to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, which saw them eliminated from the competition and demoted to the Europa League, Feyenoord were once again on the receiving end of a disappointing 2-1 defeat against PSV Eindhoven at the same venue in their second derby of the season.

While this was their second defeat of the season, their chances of recording a fourth consecutive victory were hampered. However, nine points from their five matches have seen them maintain a consistent form.

With 32 points collected from 14 matches played, Feyenoord sits second in the Eredivisie standings, ten points behind first-placed PSV Eindhoven and two points ahead of third-placed and fourth-placed AZ Alkmaar and FC Twente, respectively.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Bijlow; Geertruida, Trauner, Hancko, Hartman; Wieffer, Timber, Zerrouki; Stengs, Gimenez, Ivanusec

FC Volendam

Form: LLLDL

After a 3-0 loss to AZ Alkmaar at the AFAS Stadion following the international break, one would've thought that would be enough of a wake-up call for Volendam to mend their ways for the better; however, a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of PEC Zwolle at home over the weekend has seen no change in their poor performance.

De Palingboeren are one of the two favorite sides alongside Vitesse to be relegated this season, although it's still early to say with the season not yet at its peak. They are winless in five league matches (L4 D1) and are currently on a three-match losing streak, conceding twelve goals while accounting for one.

With 8 points collected from 14 matches played, Volendam occupy 17th place in the Eredivisie standings, with rock bottom Vitesse in the relegation zone.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Backhaus; Buur, Mbuyamba, Flint, Cox; De Haan, Mirani, Twigt; Ould-Chikh, Muhren, Booth

Expert Betting Tips

Feyenoord have punched their ticket below expectations this season as a floundering performance has crushed their dreams in the Champions League and maybe a chance to retain this season's league title following defeat against PSV Eindhoven in the derby.

With home advantage at their disposal, the defending champions are favorites to snatch maximum points against a side that has shown close to nothing with their performance away from home, going winless in seven matches, not to mention a leaky defense that sees them leading the charts as being the worst in the league with 36 goals conceded. As such, the home side could reignite their confidence in this one with a commanding victory, which sees us backing them up in handicap (-3.5).

• Handicap 1 (-3.5) for 2.12
• Both Teams To Score - No for 1.83
• First Goalscorer - Santiago Giménez for 3.50
