The Eredivisie match between Feyenoord and FC Volendam will take place at De Kulp on Friday at 1:30 am IST.
Feyenoord aims for a rebound at De Kuip on Thursday against FC Volendam following a significant loss over the weekend. Their defeat to PSV Eindhoven on Sunday, leaving them 10 points behind the record-breaking league leaders, puts Arne Slot’s team’s title defense in jeopardy.
Feyenoord’s title ambitions are in disarray after suffering a third domestic home defeat, particularly disheartening given their usual dominance at De Kuip. The recent loss to PSV, coupled with an exit from the Champions League against Atletico Madrid, marks a challenging week for the Rotterdam club. Unaccustomed to such setbacks, four defeats in seven games are surprising. Despite losing the home fortress reputation with consecutive defeats, Feyenoord’s strong league performance, averaging three goals per game and securing 32 points from 14 matches, positions them well for an automatic Champions League group stage spot in second place.
Volendam poses little threat to Feyenoord, having suffered defeats in every visit since 1989, with four of their last seven trips resulting in conceding five goals. Despite a close match last season, Volendam faces deeper trouble this campaign, evident in their recent 5-0 home loss to Zwolle. Manager Matthias Kohler’s position is at risk, as Volendam shares the bottom two with Vitesse, five points from safety, and holds the worst defensive record. With four consecutive losses, including one to amateur side Excelsior Maassluis, their away struggles persist, having not won on the road since January 8, 2023.
Feyenoord probable starting lineup: Bijlow, Geertruida, Trauner, Hancko, Hartman, Wieffer, Timber, Zerrouki, Stengs, Gimenez, Ivanusec
FC Volendam probable starting lineup: Backhaus, Buur, Mbuyamba, Flint, Cox, De Haan, Mirani, Twigt, Ould-Chikh, Muhren, Booth
