Introduction:
This is the clash between Feyenoord in third spot and Venlo in eight spot which will take place in Rotterdam in the 11th round of the Dutch Eredivisie.
Feyenoord and Venlo are separated by 10 points in the standings. Feyenoord will start this match as the favourites as they have won all seven matches played at home this season.
Feyenoord
Feyenoord are now coming into this match in much better form and last weekend they managed to beat leaders PSV Eindhoven by 2-1. That will no doubt boost their confidence but they are still trailing PSV by some ten points in the standings. Ajax
who occupies second spot is eight points in front of them. It will be difficult for coach van Bronchorst to fight for the title, even though they have played one match less than the top two sides.
Feyenoord do have a six points advantage over Heracles who occupies fourth spot. That means their third position is quite safe and they can go into this match without much pressure. They have a 100% record at home this season so you can expect them to go on the attack from the start to keep that record intact.
As for the team news, Feyenoord will not have the likes of defensive players Botteghin and Hapsa, midfielder Clasie and striker Jorgensen due to injuries.
Venlo
The visitors Venlo come into this match in eight spot in the standings. It is a very good position for them as last season they were battling against relegation.
Venlo finished one position above the relegation zone in the end and this season to make sure that does not happen they have been much more serious since the start of the season. They were even occupying the positions that led to the Europa League for a while.
Venlo have dropped to eight in the standings after managing just one point in their last four matches and they have the same number of posint as Alkmaar in seventh spot now. Last weekend they were beaten by Heracles by 4-1, so now coach Steijn will make changes in the starting lineup against Feyenoord.
As for the team news, Venlo will not be able to have midfielder van Ooijen due to suspension, while defenders Dekker and Janssen and midfielder Post misses out due to injuries.
