Utrecht host Feyenoord at the Stadion Galgenwaard on Sunday (September 3) in the Eredivisie.
The hosts have endured a poor start to their season after the summer departure of their top three goalscorers last season. Utrecht lost 1-0 to newly promoted PEC Zwolle last time out, failing to register a shot on target.
Feyenoord, meanwhile, have had a slow start to their title defence, drawing their first two games. They returned to winning ways in style last weekend ,thrashing the league's new boys Almere City 6-1 at De Kuip on Sunday. Five different players, including stiker Santiago Gimenez, who netted a brace, were on the scoresheet.
The visitors are sixth in the league table with five points from three games, while Utrecht are down in 16th with zero points.
