Feyenoord will welcome FC Utrecht to De Kuip on Sunday as they look to make it three wins in a row in round 30 of the 2021-22 Eredivisie season with kickoff at 3:30 pm.
Feyenoord cruised into the semi-final of the Conference League on Thursday after a comfortable 3-1 win over Slavia Prague in their Round of 16-second leg tie at the Sinobo Stadium.
A brace from Cyriel Dessers and another from Luis Sinisterra capped off a 6-4 aggregate triumph for Arne Slot’s men. In their last league encounter, the Rotterdam side had already eased past Heracles 4-1 and currently sit third in the Eredivisie standings, seven points shy of PSV Eindhoven and four behind Ajax.
The next challenge for the Rotterdam-based club is a home match against an opponent who has only one win in their last six meetings with that team, but that victory came in their most recent encounter back in August. This weekend’s hosts will be looking to extend their win streak to two games before heading to France for their next continental commitment.
Utrecht drew 1-1 with Fortuna Sittard on Sunday at the Stadion Galgenwaard to move six points clear of Groningen in the race for the final European spot in this season’s Eredivisie. The Domstedelingen took the lead early on through Bart Ramselaar before Zian Flemming brought Sittard level past the hour mark.
