Prediction: 1-3
Feyenoord
Thursday’s football game at Kras Stadion pits together Volendam and Feyenoord, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the season finale. The rock-bottom side are desperate to somehow avoid relegation, while Feyenoord are still on a quest to defend their trophy. As Volendam are on an eight-game losing run at home ground, home win should not be considered. Robert Muhren should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring a late equalizer in a 1-1 draw with Almere City, with fellow forward Quincy Hoeve pushing for a start as well.
The Rotterdammers, on the other hand, came from behind to beat Utrecht 4-2 at De Kuip at the weekend, with the team melting PSV’s advantage to only seven points. As Feyenoord are determined to keep their title hopes alive, we are tempted to put our money on the reigning champions. Igor Paixao is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match, while Quilindschy Hartman is a long-term absentee.
