Knowing that anything less than victory could see PSV Eindhoven finally crowned Eredivisie champions, Feyenoord travel to the Kras Stadion to face off against Volendam on Sunday.
De Stadionclub currently lead a four-team race to finish as runners-up, while Volendam are looking to pull clear of the bottom three, from whom they are separated only by goal difference.

Volendam vs Feyenoord key stats
- Feyenoord have not tasted defeat in any of their last three outings and are unbeaten in six of seven matches leading up to this weekend (W4, D2).
- However, the 2023 Dutch champions have been unable to keep opponents out lately, having conceded in five straight affairs, four of which have ended with both teams scoring.
- Like Feyenoord, who have been breached first in four of their last five encounters, Volendam have also been guilty of slow starts, letting in the opener five times over their last six games.
- Sunday's hosts are now winless in four matches, but a 2-2 friendly draw against Ajax last time out snapped a run of three consecutive defeats.
Volendam vs Feyenoord preview: Robin Van Persie's men to extend the title race by one more week at least

Despite dominating for large spells of March 22’s De Klassieker, Feyenoord looked set to fall short to a second-half strike from Sean Steur, before Jakub Moder restored parity from the penalty spot five minutes from time.
That marked the third successive match in which Van Persie's side have come from behind, and the 42-year-old will hope his players make life easier for themselves this weekend by not trailing against a Volendam team fighting for survival.
Feyenoord have played the most corners (210) of any Eredivisie team this season.
Feyenoord currently sit 15 points behind PSV at the top of the table, and with six matches remaining, their faint title challenge could finally end if De Stadionclub fail to at least match PSV’s result against Utrecht.
However, securing Champions League qualification has long been the primary objective, and on that front, Feyenoord are two points clear of NEC and a further two ahead of Ajax, who face fifth-placed FC Twente on Saturday.
Currently on a run of just one win from their last eight away outings, Feyenoord now face back-to-back matches on the road, the second of which is a pivotal clash against nearest challengers NEC.
After coming from behind to claim a thrilling 3-2 win over Groningen at the start of March, Volendam were five points clear of the relegation zone heading into the final nine rounds of fixtures.
Fast forward one month and Rick Kruys’s men have been dragged back into the relegation fight following defeats to NEC, Fortuna Sittard and Sparta Rotterdam by a combined score of 7-1.
Volendam's Gibson Yah is tied with Bart van Rooij for the most tackles per game (3.1).
Volendam are one of three teams currently tied on 27 points, alongside Telstar and SBV Excelsior, with Het Nieuwe Oranje battling to avoid joining NAC Breda and Heracles—the current bottom two—in next season’s Eerste Divisie.
Only Breda and Excelsior have scored fewer goals than Volendam’s 30 this term, and the visitors must either improve their attacking output or shore up a defence that has managed just one clean sheet all season.

Whispers predicts: Volendam 1-3 Feyenoord
Unbeaten in five consecutive matches (W4, D1) against Volendam since 2022, Feyenoord have history on their side, so it is no surprise they are backed to take all three points at 1.44.
With five of the last seven meetings between Sunday's opponents producing at least three goals, Feyenoord to win and over 2.5 goals at 1.75 looks a worthwhile investment.
Both of Feyenoord’s last two wins over Volendam have finished 3-1, and a repeat scoreline at 11.00 offers strong value.
> 1x2 - Feyenoord to win at 1.44 | Likelihood: Probable
> 1x2 & Total goals - Feyenoord to win & Over 2.5 goals at 1.75 | Likelihood: Probable
> Correct score - Volendam 1-3 Feyenoord at 11.00 | Likelihood: Outsider
