FC Zwolle

vs

Feyenoord Rotterdam

Preview

FC Zwolle (home)

• Feyenoord Rotterdam have the momentum and are the team in the better position to win Sunday’s Eredivisie clash with FC Zwolle, but the hosts will make this interesting.
• Feyenoord, second in the standings with 62 points from 33 games, are 25 points and 11 places better off than 13th-placed Zwolle, who have accumulated 37 points from their 33 matches.
• But the Blue Fingers are no longer the same team as the one they were five months ago and they could produce a performance that would put their visitors under pressure this weekend.
• Henry van der Vegt is building a side that will press with a frenzy and push the ball forward in big numbers whenever they get it back.

Feyenoord Rotterdam (away)

• Feyenoord Rotterdam are unbeaten in five Eredivisie games, winning two and drawing three.
• Feyenoord have averaged 1.81 goals per game away from home in the Eredivisie this season, and have conceded an average of 1.31 goals per away game.
• Feyenoord have played some of their best soccer of the season since Robin van Persie’s appointment as coach with the club now playing a structured, front-to-back style of pressing that combines controlled build-up play with real urgency.
