5 MINUTES
5 minutes to start the game
Feyenoord as an away
As a visitor, it's even more irregular. After all, they've had a 50% record in the last six games they've played in this condition.
Feyenoord in the last match
On the last matchday, they were leading 2-0 against NEC, easily controlling the game. However, they relaxed too soon and saw their rivals equalize with a fantastic second-half finish. Despite their excellent attacking performance, Feyenoord have been more erratic at the back. For example, they have conceded an average of 1.5 goals in their last 6 games.
Feyenoord in second place
Feyenoord are still in a strong position in the Eredivisie, but they know that their chances of winning the title are remote. After all, they will start the match in second place, but already 12 points behind leaders PSV. What's more, the team is not enjoying its best run of results. There's no need to despair, but they haven't won in two matches.
Vitesse's start
Internally, it's understood that the worst is over, but soccer is very dynamic and all it takes is one unfortunate performance for the team's confidence to be undermined again. Much of their improvement is based on their defensive play on the pitch - they haven't conceded a goal in 4 of their last 6 games. These are extremely impressive figures. In fact, the club are once again dominant on the road - they've won 3 of their last 4 home games, scoring in 5 of their last 6.
Vitesse in Eredivisie
Vitesse have gained hope in recent weeks, but they know that a lot still needs to be done if they are to have a peaceful end to the season. The team has won half of its last six games. However, they remain in second-to-last place in the Eredivisie, two points behind the first club outside the drop zone.
Under 3.5
It also sounds like a risky bet. But to win, Feyenoord will need to improve defensively. Vitesse have improved their defense - they haven't conceded a goal in their last four home games, for example. So the chances of a tight game with a few goals are high.
Feyenoord favorite
It certainly won't be an easy game. After all, Vitesse are traditional, fighting for survival and experiencing their most solid moment in the competition. It's far from brilliant, but it gives them confidence that they can score in this match - especially at home. Feyenoord are better, but they know they need to show more. And they have something to build on in terms of technique, as long as they are more organized defensively. It's a risky bet, but Feyenoord, the reigning champions of the competition, still have enough to earn their place here.
Gelredome
Vitesse and Feyenoord face off this Sunday (21) at 10:30 am Brasília time at the Gelredome stadium in Arnhem, Holland. Betting on a solid defensive game, Vitesse have been improving this season - they've won half of their last 6 games. Feyenoord, meanwhile, are still in a strong position in the competition, but are going through a stretch where their results are below expectations. Can Vitesse confirm their comeback by beating one of the season's favorites?

Feyenoord chase the lead:
Feyenoord lost even more ground on leaders PSV Eindhoven last Sunday after being forced to share the spoils against NEC at the Stadion Feijenoord, with the hosts giving up a two-goal lead to drop points for only the fifth time in the 2023-24 Eredivisie season.
After scoring 15 goals in 32 league games last season, when Arne Slot's men won the title, Mexican Giménez is battling it out with AZ Alkmaar's Evangelos Pavlidis for the division's Golden Boot this time around, as the 22-year-old has scored 19 goals in just 17 games so far.
Vitesse extend unbeaten run
Vitesse extended their unbeaten run to three games in all competitions on Thursday night, narrowly beating third-tier side AFC thanks to a first-half goal from midfielder Davy Propper, which secured their place in the quarter-finals of the KNVB Cup, setting up a quarter-final clash next month.
Edward Sturing's side are currently 17th in the Eredivisie standings, with just 12 points from 17 league games so far, meaning they are two points behind 16th-placed RKC Waalwijk and five points below SBV Excelsior, who are relatively safe in 15th.
