Utrecht preview: Slowing down a bit

While Utrecht are still third in the standings and have undoubtedly been the most pleasant surprise this season in the Eredivisie, it's also clear that they have slowed down lately. After all, Utrecht have only won twice in their last six games in the league and if they lose to Feyenoord on Sunday, they will drop to fourth place in the standings and could drop even more in near future, with AZ and Twente lurking behind.

When it comes to team news, Noah Ohio remains out with an injury, while Matisse Didden is doubtful. Also, Utrecht will have to manage without suspended Nick Viergever in this match.

Predicted lineup: Barkas (GK), Vesterlund, Van der Hoorn, Horemans, El Karouani, Iqbal, Engwanda, Rodriguez, Jensen, Cathline & Min

Player to watch: Santiago Gimenez

After dealing with an injury for a part of this season, Gimenez has been in good form lately. After all, in just nine appearances in the Eredivisie this season, the Mexican forward managed to score six times, so he's our player to watch in this game.
