Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
There will be fireworks when Go Ahead Eagles and Feyenoord square off against each other at De Adelaarshorst in a highly-anticipated Eredivisie game. Go Ahead Eagles aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Heracles, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the title-chasing Rotterdammers. Sweden forward Victor Edvardsen is pushing for a start following his fine performance against Heracles, while fellow attacker Soren Tengstedt remains in the recovery room.
Feyenoord, meanwhile, survived Twente (2-1) before the international break. As De Trots van Zuid’s performance was anything but brilliant against the Reds, we are tempted to bet on draw this time out. Important attacker Santiago Gimenez remains in the recovery room, while Calvin Stengs faces race against the clock to be fit for Saturday’s encounter. You should know that over 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last four meetings in the Dutch top flight.
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.
