Preview: FC Utrecht vs. Feyenoord - prediction, team news, lineups
Utrecht looking to bounce back after heavy defeat
FC Utrecht will be looking to bounce back from their 5-1 defeat to PSV Eindhoven when they host Feyenoord on Sunday. The Domstedelingen have lost three of their last four matches in all competitions and will be keen to get back to winning ways against a Feyenoord side who are also in poor form.
Feyenoord winless in four
Feyenoord have not won in their last four matches in all competitions and will be looking to end that run against Utrecht. The Rotterdammers have drawn their last two matches against AZ Alkmaar and Sparta Rotterdam, and will be hoping to get back to winning ways against a Utrecht side who are struggling for form.
Team news
Utrecht will be without the suspended Django Warmerdam, while Feyenoord will be without the injured Justin Bijlow and Gernot Trauner. Both teams are expected to field strong sides, with Utrecht likely to start with Bas Dost and Sander van de Streek up front, and Feyenoord likely to start with Danilo and Alireza Jahanbakhsh in attack.
Prediction
This is a difficult match to call, with both teams in poor form. However, Utrecht will have the advantage of playing at home, and they will be desperate to get back to winning ways. Feyenoord have a good record against Utrecht, but they have not been in good form in recent weeks. I predict that Utrecht will win this match 2-1.
