Feyenoord have won four of their last five duels with Excelsior, so they've clearly been the better team recently. the situation isn't much different if we look at the overall H2H record between these teams: 44-6-8 for Feyenoord.

Feyenoord preview: Looking to end the season with a win at home

While Feyenoord have been in great form this season, they are still seven points behind PSV at the top. So, Feyenoord will end this season as vice-champions regardless of the results in the final round and they'll try to finish the season with a triumph at home, in front of their fans, even if that win won't matter overall.

That being said, Feyenoord will miss some of their key players, including their top scorer Santiago Gimenez. They will also be without Mats Wieffer, Bart Nieuwkoop, Antoni Milambo, Quilindschy Hartman, and Gjivai Zechiel, who are all on the team's injury list.

Predicted lineup: Bijlow – Geertruida, Beelen, Hancko, Lopez – Stengs, Zerrouki, Van den Belt – Ivanusec, Ueda, Minteh

Excelsior preview: Hoping to avoid the relegation playoffs

Ahead of the last round of the Eredivisie season, Excelsior sit in the relegation zone. However, they are in 16th place in the standings, which wouldn't get them relegated directly but instead send them into the relegation playoffs.

Furthermore, Excelsior are tied with RKC in points, who sit one spot outside of the relegation zone and go to Eindhoven to meet the new champions PSV in the final round. So, Excelsior might be able to avoid the relegation playoffs entirely if they can avoid a loss against Feyenoord.

Meanwhile, Kik Pierie and Serano Seymor are out with injuries at the moment.

Predicted Lineup: Van Gassel – Benita, Horemans, El Yaakoubi, Zagre – Fernandes, Baas, Lamprou, Goudmijn, Duijvestijn – Parrott

Player to watch: Yankuba Minteh

The 19-year-old striker from Ghana has shown plenty of potential this season, with 10 goals and five assists in the league. Even more impressive is the fact that Minteh did this in just 17 starts.

Can Minteh score more than once?

We already saw Minteh score more than one goal in a match twice this season. While that's clearly not a lot, he might be able to do it here as he'll be starting the game with Santiago Gimenez out of contention.
