On Wednesday, Go Ahead Eagles hope to avoid a fifth straight defeat when Dutch giants Feyenoord come to De Adelaarshorst for their penultimate league match of the 2021-22 Eredivisie season kickoff at 9 pm.
In their heavyweight clash on Sunday, Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven battled to a thrilling 2-2 draw at De Kuip.
A first-half brace from Cody Gakpo left Arne Slot’s men with a mountain to climb before Cyriel Dessers netted two goals of his own in the final 10 minutes to restore parity. Consequently, De Stadionclub is guaranteed to finish third after failing to cut the gap on PSV in second place.
Next up for the Rotterdam-based outfit is the match against an opponent who has held its own against them in this fixture. The last nine encounters have yielded four wins apiece and a draw. The team has scored the most away goals in the entire division this term, so it will back itself into emerging victorious at full time.
The Go Ahead Eagles fell to a 1-0 loss against NEC Nijmegen on Sunday. With the game deadlocked heading into second-half stoppage time, Ibrahim Cissoko struck a late winner to sink Kees Van Wonderen’s men in Nijmegen. The Pride of the IJssel Kowet now sits 11th in the Eredivisie table, just two points away from a European spot.
