Feyenoord

Arne Slot's men made the trip to Stadion Woudestein to face off with Excelsior Rotterdam, and they displayed a dominant performance that saw them being superior in all facets of the game as they cruised to a comfortable 2:0 victory thanks to Santiago Gimenez's brace.

Prior to that, they weren't about to deprive their boisterous fans of an entertaining encounter as they played host to FC Utrecht, which saw them claim a comfortable 3:1 victory to secure all three points. 

De club aan de Maas have thrived under pressure as they have been a sight for sore eyes in the Eredivisie, exceeding expectations to the fullest extent as they have posted an 11-match winning streak while going unbeaten in a whopping 24 games, surpassing the limitations of an imposing performance.

Arne Slot's men are en route to securing their first Eredivisie title in six years as they currently occupy first place with 76 points, and a win here could see them being crowned Eredivisie champions, a long-awaited bestowal.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Bijlow; Pedersen, Geertruida, Hancko, Hartman; Wieffer, Kokcu; Paixao, Szymanski, Idrissi; Gimenez

Go Ahead Eagles

Form: DWWLL

The pride of the IJssel were way beyond showing mercy as they trampled on the tiniest hope that FC Groningen had in their fight for survival in the top flight in their recent match at home, holding them to a 1:1 draw to share the spoils.

Prior to that, they made certain to come away with all three points in their match against underdogs Fortuna Sittard, as they romped to a comfortable 2:0 victory thanks to goals from Willum Þór Willumsson and Xander Blomme.

Despite losses against Vitesse (2:0) and Excelsior Rotterdam (2:1) in their last five matches in the Eredivisie, it goes without saying they've forged ahead to maintain a consistent form, which sees them on a three-match unbeaten run, recording two wins and a draw to accumulate seven points, and it's undeniable that they'll fancy their chances of extending that run to four games.

They presently occupy 11th place with 37 points in the standings, and for them, they still have something meaningful to play for as the season nears its conclusion, as their job is not quite done yet as they have their eyes set on a mid-table finish, which they are four points behind.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Lange; Deijl, Amofa, Idzes, Kuipers; Llansana, Rommens; Adekanye, Willumsson, Edvardsen; Lidberg

Expert Betting Tips

Feyenoord are 90 minutes away from being crowned champions, that is, if they are able to get a win in this clash, which shouldn't be doubted given that they have the support of their boisterous fans at home. Though it may happen that a draw is witnessed in this clash, that shouldn't get in their way of clinching this season's title as they'll have another go at it in the upcoming weekend.

Go Ahead Eagles are eyeing a mid-table finish, which will be considered a huge success for them, and while their safety in the top flight is guaranteed this season, that shouldn't rule them out of being competitive in their remaining matches, and it's highly likely that they'll prove to be a challenge here in this encounter.

For a side that has thrived under pressure to have the last laugh this season, it'll be unrealistic to expect them to lose sight of the ball just when they are inches away from success, and as such, we expect them to win convincingly in the Asian handicap of -2.0, which shouldn't be a hassle for a side that has won their last five matches in the Eredivisie by two goals or more.

• Handicap 1 (-2) for 1.86
• Goals - Over 3.5 for 1.97
