Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Almere City will try to claim a major scalp in the Eredivisie round 12 when they take on Feyenoord on Matchday 12. Almere have yet to recover from a shocking KNVB Beker defeat to Quick Boys, with the team suffering a 2-0 defeat to RKC Waalwijk at the weekend. As the hosts are low on confidence ahead of Sunday’s matinee, we are not tempted to bet on the underdogs. Defender Joey Jacobs is back from suspension, while midfielder Alex Balboa remains in the recovery room.
De Trots van Zuid, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 3-2 win over AZ Alkmaar. As the Rotterdamers are eager to keep their title hopes alive, away win should be considered. The likes of Gimenez, Hartman, Milambo, Stengs, and Ueda are out of contention with injuries for the home team. In their last encounter at Yanmar Stadion Feyenoord defeated Almere City 2-0.
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.
