Feyenoord preview: Chasing the Champions League
With six games in a row without a loss in the Eredivisie, Feyenoord were able to keep up the pace in the race for a spot in the Champions League next season. At the moment, they're fourth in the standings, with the first three teams bound for the UCL. Utrecht are third with two points more than Feyenoord, so Feyenoord could overtake them with a win over Groningen.
That being said, Feyenoord are also dealing with many injuries. Right now, Jordan Lotomba, Justin Bijlow, Bart Nieuwkoop, Chris-Kevin Nadje, Quinten Timber, and Calvin Stengs, are all in the treatment room, but Hugo Bueno and Ayase Ueda could be ready for this game.
Predicted lineup: Wellenreuther (GK), Read, Beelen, Bueno, Moder, Hwang, Milambo, Paixao, Carranza & Moussa

Player to watch: Igor Paixao
This season in the Eredivisie, Paixao has scored 10 goals and added nine assists, both of which are the most in his team.
So, he's clearly been the most valuable player for Feyenoord, at least on offence, and one of the key reasons why Feyenoord are still in the race for a spot in the Champions League.
