Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
All eyes will be on Stadion Galgenwaard when Utrecht and Feyenoord go head to head in a highly-anticipated Eredivisie game. Utrecht look unstoppable at the moment, eyeing their seventh consecutive league win, but Sunday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be winger Yoann Cathline, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line. Both Alonzo Engwanda and Kevin Gadellaa are rated doubtful for the hosts.
The Trots van Zuid, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence following a thrilling Champions League win over Benfica. Given Feyenoord’s attacking potential and Utrecht’s fine form, there is every chance we will see goals galore at Stadion Galgenwaard. You should bear in mind that both sides managed to find the net in each of their last seven meetings in all competitions. The likes of Gimenez, Hartman, Nadje, Stengs, Zechiel, and Nieuwkoop are sidelined with injuries for the visiting side.
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.
