Feyenoord will welcome PEC Zwolle to De Kuip on Wednesday for a matchday 16 fixture in the Eredivisie.
The hosts picked up a routine 2-0 victory away to Sparta Rotterdam to start the year. Meanwhile, Zwolle failed to hold onto their lead in a 1-1 draw at home to AZ Alkmaar.
Feyenoord will be in need of all three points, as they harbor title ambitions. Just three points separate them from Ajax ahead of their marquee showdown with their mega-rivals next weekend.

Zwolle, for their part, are relatively comfortable in 11th place but might need to pick up points to avoid being dragged into a relegation dogfight.
