RKC will feel as though they are due some justice given how the reverse fixture played out. The then-home side missed a penalty and also had a player sent off as they squandered a 1-0 lead as Feyenoord scored either side of half-time.

Out of the last five games, four have been competitive matches, and the one which ended in a draw was a friendly encounter. When there has been something serious on the line, RKC Waalwijk have failed to lay a glove on Feyenoord, apart from the last game earlier this season, but even then, they shot themselves in the foot and lost 2-1.

Player to watch – Calvin Stengs
The Dutch international has stepped up this season and become an integral part of the Feyenoord side. In his first season with the Dutch giants, Stengs has already proved to be a massive hit having not gone more than three league games in a row without being involved in a goal.
A goal and an assist incoming?
Stengs has been a very reliable attacking outlet for Feyenoord this season when it comes to both goals and assists. In fact, on four separate occasions, the attacking midfielder has popped up with both a strike and an assist in the same match across all competitions.
