Rijnsburg will face Feyenoord at the Sportpark Middelmors on Wednesday in the last 16 of the 2024-25 KNVB Beker campaign. The home side are enjoying a strong League campaign after last season's slump and are set for a historic cup clash against one of the nation's powerhouses this week.
After seeing off Sportlust '46 in the preliminary round of the tournament, the hosts beat Roda 3-1 in the first round featuring goals from three different players. They then traded tackles with Eerste Divisie leaders Volendam in the second round and picked up a dominant 2-0 victory featuring second-half strikes from Bram Ros and Nino Klaver.
Feyenoord have lost their last two matches in the Eredivisie and will hope a change of scenery this week can spur a change of fortune. They beat MVV 2-1 in their cup opener last month, with 18-year-old Zepiqueno Redmond scoring a brace to register his first professional goals and secure the win for De Stadionclub.
The visitors are the current holders of the KNVB Cup after beating NEC Nijmegen in the final last season and will be looking to continue their title defense on Wednesday.
Rijnsburg vs Feyenoord Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Wednesday's game will mark just the second meeting between Rijnsburg and Feyenoord and the first competitive meeting between the clubs.
- The two teams faced off for the first time in a friendly clash back in July 2016 which the visitors won 5-1.
- Rijnsburg are the highest-scoring side in the Dutch third tier this season with a goal tally of 46.
- Feyenoord have advanced past the last 16 of the KNVB Cup in all but one of the last nine seasons.
Rijnsburg vs Feyenoord Prediction
Uien are on a three-game winning streak and have lost just once since the start of October. All three of their cup wins this season have come on home turf and they will be looking to extend that streak on Wednesday.
Feyenoord are on a run of consecutive defeats in competitive action after going undefeated in their previous eight. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two clubs should, however, see the visitors win this one fairly easily.
Prediction: Rijnsburg 1-4 Feyenoord
