Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
There will be fireworks when Feyenoord and Ajax face each other in a postponed Eredivisie derby. Feyenoord head into De Klassieke on a high as they are on a five-game winning run in all competitions. Given their fine display in a 2-0 win over Utrecht, home win should be considered. Bearing any fresh injury worries, head coach Brian Priske is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Utrecht, while all Gimenez, Zechiel, Hartman, and Nadje remain in the treatment room.
The Amsterdammers, on the other hand, defeated Willem II 1-0 at the weekend, but their performance was anything but brilliant. As Ajax suffered a massive 6-0 loss to Feyenoord in their last meeting at De Kuip, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. The likes of Berghuis, Hlynsson, Rijkhoff, Avila, Mannsverk, and van Axel Dongen have been struggling of late, speaking of the visiting team.
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.
