Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
De Kuip will host Sunday’s matinee between Feyenoord and Utrecht, who aim to kick off 2025 in great manner. The Rotterdammers aim to make amends for a heart-breaking loss to PSV and we are positive they will go all guns blazing at Utrecht. Midfielder Quinten Timber serves a one-game ban, while all Julian Carranza, Jordan Lotomba, Ayase Ueda, and Quilindschy Hartman remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Utrecht, on the other hand, are eager to stay in the Champions League berth and given their fine away record, we predict that they are going to grab something from Sunday’s clash. It has to be noted that Ron Jans’ troops have yet to suffer a loss on the road this term. Nick Viergever misses out through suspension for the visiting team, while fellow defender Matisse Didden has yet to overcome his injury. USA international Paxten Aaronson is back from suspension.
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.
