Cambuur-Feyenoord Statistical Preview

Team News

Cambuur

• Dwight Lodeweges is still without midfielders Bart van Brakel and Marco van der Heide.
• He should nonetheless continue with the same XI that beat FC Utrecht.

Feyenoord

• Samuel Armenteros is expected to fill in for Feyenoord skipper Graziano Pellè who is suspended. It could also mean a return to the starting XI in the league for Ruben Schaken.
• Jean-Paul Boetius, who missed Feyenoord’s midweek cup game due to a knee injury, could return. If he misses the trip to Cambuur, then Elvis Manu will most likely deputise in his absence.

Match Facts

• There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 10 of Feyenoord’s last 11 games in Eredivisie.
• Feyenoord have conceded at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 away matches in Eredivisie.
• Feyenoord have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 away matches in Eredivisie.

Prediction

• Feyenoord are looking to bounce back from their second home defeat of the season. The Rotterdammers performances on the road this season leaves a lot to be desired: one win in five games. It’s in fact one win in eight stretching into last season.
• A contract to SC Cambuur’s home form; five games, three wins and one defeat, which came against leaders FC Twente, a slender 1-0 loss. The absence of Pellè, who Feyenoord have often been accused of being reliant on (‘Pellèdependencia’ if you will), is one of the intriguing narratives going into the game. You can already visualise the headlines if Feyenoord fail to win.
