Prediction: 4-0
Go Ahead Eagles
High-flying Feyenoord will be looking to build on a 4-0 win over Willem II when they take on G.A.Eagles on day 2 of the new Eredivisie campaign. The Rotterdammers have been scoring goals for fun in all competitions, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Steve Berghuis is no longer part of the team, but talented midfielder Guus Til is likely to pose a big threat for the opposition defenders.
Both Diemers and Jahanbakhsh are likely to miss the game with injuries. The newcomers, on the other hand, failed to impress in their opener, with the team losing to Heerenveen at home ground. Anyhow, David faces Goliath in Rotterdam, and we do not believe that the underdogs are capable of spoiling Feyenoord’s party at De Kuip. In their last meeting at the venue Feyenoord crushed G.A. Eagles 8-0.
Highlighted Player (Leroy Fer):
After spending four years at Feyenoord, Leroy Fer joined FC Twente in 2011. On 13 July, 2013 Norwich City chiefs closed a four-year deal with Fer for a fee in the region of £4.4 million. The Dutch midfielder made 30 appearances for Norwich and he scored three goals for the Carrow Road outfit.
Following Norwich’s relegation from the elite division, the highly rated footballer went on to join Queens Park Rangers at the end of the 2013/2014 campaign. The Dutch footballer scored eight goals in 48 appearances for QPR, but on 1 February 2016 he was sent on loan to Swansea City. Fer made his move to Swansea permanent five months later.
Leroy was born on 5 January, 1990 in Zoetemeer, Netherlands and he is 188 cm tall. His parents are originally from Curacao and his father Lesley was a baseball player. Speaking of his individual awards, Leroy Fer was named Rotterdam Talent of the Year in 2008.
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.
