Feyenoord turned in a resilient team display against reigning Eredivisie champions PSV last Sunday when they fought back from behind to salvage a 1-1 draw at the Philips Stadion.
The visitors found themselves behind on the 21st-minute mark when Guus Til hit the target to put PSV in front heading into the break, but Anis Hadj Moussa hit back nine after the break to force a share of the spoils.
With that result, Feyenoord remain the only side yet to suffer defeat in the Eredivisie this season, picking up seven wins and three draws from their 10 matches to sit top of the league standings with 24 points, three points above second-placed Ajax.
However, Feyenoord's league form has not translated seamlessly into Europe, with Van Bronckhorst’s side suffering back-to-back away defeats against Barcelona and Real Betis on either side of a narrow 3-2 victory over Como on October 14 in their first three Champions League matches.
With a huge UCL clash against Italian powerhouse Inter Milan on the horizon, Feyenoord will be keen to secure a boost this weekend and extend their dominance in the Eredivisie as they aim to clinch their first league title since 2023 come May.
On the other hand, Fortuna Sittard booked their spot in the second round of the KNVB Cup in midweek when they secured a penalty-shootout victory over Sparta Rotterdam after a 2-2 stalemate in normal time at the Het Kasteel Stadium.
Danny Buijs’ men now turn their attention to the Eredivisie, where they can take pride in what has been an impressive start to the 2026-27 campaign, having secured five wins and three draws from their opening 10 games while scoring 17 goals and keeping two clean sheets.
Fortuna Sittard’s most recent league assignment saw them snatch a 1-0 victory over Excelsior at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion, with Rodrigo Guth rising highest to head home the winner in the 91st minute and sink the visitors.
Coming off a ninth-placed finish last season, Fortuna Sittard find themselves in early conversation for European qualification, as they sit sixth in the Eredivisie table with 18 points from 10 matches and could move level with second-placed Ajax with a win this weekend.
Standing in their way is the daunting challenge of a Feyenoord side whom they have failed to get the better of in each of their last 14 encounters, losing 11 and claiming three draws since a 4-2 victory in October 2019.
However, Fortuna will draw encouragement from their solid away form this season, having gone unbeaten in their six competitive matches so far, picking up four wins and two draws.
