Fortuna Sittard preview: Lost three of last six
Rodrigo Guth became the first player this century to score eight consecutive Eredivisie goals with his head as Fortuna Sittard secured a point away at Twente last time out.
The in-form Sem Steijn converted a spot kick in the first half which looked like it was going to win the game for the hosts only for Guth to equalise for Fortuna Sittard in stoppage time.
Kristoffer Peterson is suspended for the Feyenoord game, while Darijo Grujcic, Samuel Bastien, Alessio Da Cruz, Onur Demir and Daley Sinkgraven are doubts due to injury or illness.
Predicted lineup: Branderhorst (GK), Pinto, Dijks, Guth, Adewoye, Bullaude, Michut, Fosso, Halilovic, Sierhuis & Aiko

Feyenoord preview: Won last four fixtures
Feyenoord became the first side on record (since 2010-11) to win an Eredivisie game without having a single shot on target as they beat AZ Alkmaar at the AFAS Stadion last weekend.
An own goal from Zico Buurmeester in the 32nd minute proved enough for the visitors to claim all three points against the European hopefuls.
Jordan Lotomba and Quinten Timber have been ruled out of the Fortuna Sittard game but the visitors could also be without the services of defenders Neraysho Kasanwirjo, Marcos Lopez, Thomas Beelen and Bart Nieuwkoop, as well as midfielders In-Beom Hwang, Chris-Kevin Nadje and Calvin Stengs.
Predicted lineup: Wellenreuther (GK), Trauner, Hancko, Smal, Hartman, Read, Moder, Milambo, Ueda, Paixao & Hadj Moussa

Player to watch: Igor Paixao
Igor Paixao continues to improve each season for Feyenoord and is currently enjoying his third campaign with the Dutch club following his move from Brazilian side Coritiba.
Paixao scored seven times in his debut season in the Eredivisie and in the last campaign he upped that total to nine. As things stand in the 2024/25 season, the Brazilian forward has scored 12 times in the league alone as well as chipping in with nine assists.
The Brazilian has 21 goal involvements in the Eredivisie this season
The 24-year-old heads into Saturday's game against Fortuna Sittard in great form having scored six times in his last four outings in the Eredivisie, so you can see why he's our player to watch.
