Brian Priske won his first-ever meeting against Utrecht in a 2-0 victory last season. Feyenoord has won their last five fixtures against the Cathedral Citizens, and they are top contenders to win on 2025 football bookies.
Feyenoord suffered a huge blow in the title race following a 3-0 loss to defending champions PSV. Brian Priske’s side is now fourth in the league with 10 wins from their first 17 games this term. No team has recorded fewer defeats than Feyenoord in the league, but they have been found wanting in a couple of draws this season. Beating Utrecht is a must for the hosts if they are to close the gap at the top, and they will be looking to extend their streak against the visitors.
Quinten Timber is the major absentee for the hosts as the midfielder sits out of this clash through a suspension. In-Beom Hwang and Jordan Lotomba are ruled out with injuries.
FC Utrecht have been an exciting team to watch, and although they have been good this season, winning the league is a very difficult task for the visitors. Ron Jans’ side suffered an unexpected 5-2 loss at home to Fortuna Sittard, but that was only their third loss this season. Utrecht are nine points behind the league leaders, and a win would see them go level on points with Ajax. The visitors might not have an excellent record in this fixture, but they remain unbeaten away from home in the Eredivisie.
Matisse Didden and Noah Ohio haven’t received the green light from the medical team. Nick Viergever was sent off in the defeat against Fortuna Sittard and will miss this game.

Feyenoord is the better team here, and with Calvin Stengs and Santiago Gimenez returning to the team, they will do better in the second half of the season. The hosts have won their last two home matches by a two-goal margin, and they are an entirely different team when playing at home. Utrecht has a good away record, but they haven’t beaten a big team away from home this season. The visitors have also lost to Ajax and PSV Eindhoven this term by more than a goal margin. A big win for the hosts is a good offer on the tips for 2024/25 Eredivisie.
