Prediction: 2-2
PSV
The ground and legendary De Kuip stadium will be shacking when Feyenoord and PSV lock horns in the KNVB Beker last 16. Feyenoord aim to build on a hard-fought 2-1 win over Vitesse, but they will have a big fish to fry in Wednesday’s clash. Quilindschy Hartman limped off with injury at the weekend, with Marcos Lopez likely to step up, while all Ramiz Zerrouki, Yankuba Minteh, Ayase Ueda, and Alireza Jahanbakhsh are on international duty.
PSV, on the other hand, failed to keep their 100% record in the 2023/24 Eredivisie campaign intact, with the team sharing the spoils with Utrecht on the road. As Feyenoord are tough to beat at home, yet another share of spoils is on the cards, at least after 90 minutes. As for the away team, fit-again winger Hirving Lozano is pushing for a start, while Ismael Sabari is representing Morocco at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Highlighted Player (Luuk de Jong):
The 26-year-old Dutch striker Luuk de Jong is considered one of Europe’s deadliest strikers with his incredible return of goals in games he spends playing. Luuk de Jong began his football career at De Graafschap in 2008, but moved on to Twente only a year later.
The tally of 39 goals in 76 league appearances earned him a transfer to Borussia Monchengladbach, but his spell in Germany ended in disappointment. Bundesliga club attempted to revive his career by sending him out on loan to Newcastle United but his stint with the English club yielded even more disappointment and concluded in utter disaster with De Jong playing 12 games without scoring a single goal for the Magpies.
A return to Netherlands and PSV Eindhoven turned out to be a proper hit for the 26-year-old striker who has restored his scoring touch with more than 50 goals for the Boeren after less than 90 games.
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.
