Feyenoord return to action in the Eredivisie when they go head-to-head with Heracles Almelo at the Erve Asito Stadium on Sunday.
Arne Slot’s men head into the weekend unbeaten in their last 18 games against the hosts and will look to continue in the same vein.
Heracles were left empty-handed yet again as they fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Vitesse last Sunday.
Hendrie Krüzen’s side have now lost six of their last seven matches across all competitions, including a shock 2-0 defeat against Hardenberg in the Dutch Cup on November 1.
With 15 points from 15 matches, Heracles are currently 14th in the Eredivisie table, just two points and two places above the relegation playoff spot.
Meanwhile, Feyenoord’s Champions League campaign ended on a sour note last Wednesday when they suffered a 2-1 loss against Celtic in Group E.
While Arne Slot’s men have been eliminated from the Europa League, they now turn their attention to the Eredivisie, where they have won four of their last five matches, with a 2-1 loss against PSV Eindhoven on December 3 being the exception.
With 35 points from 15 matches, Feyenoord are currently second in the league table, 10 points adrift of first-placed PSV.
