Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
After holding star-studded Man City to a 3-3 draw at Etihad Stadium, Feyenoord will look to extend their winning run in Eredivisie to four games when they face Fortuna Sittard at De Kuip. De Trots van Zuid have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play in Saturday’s clash. The good news for the hosts is that key attacker Santiago Gimenez has overcome his injury. The Mexico striker is pushing for a start, while all Bueno, Osman, Stengs, and Ueda remain in the recovery room.
The visitors, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Twente at the weekend, which is yet another reason why we are going to place our bets on the home side. In their last meeting in the Dutch elite division Feyenoord defeated Fortuna Sittard 1-0, which is yet another reason why we are going to place our bets on the title hopefuls.
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.
