Feyenoord will host Heerenveen at De Kuip on Saturday in the fifth round of the 2025-26 Dutch Eredivisie campaign. The hosts will be looking to continue their perfect start to the league season and make it four wins out of four.
Feyenoord capitalized on Sparta Rotterdam going down to 10 men to get a dominant 4-0 win away from home last time out. Robin Van Persie’s side finished in third place in the Dutch top flight last season before going on to have a disappointing preseason campaign, but will be delighted to have returned to competitive action in top form and look to retain the top spot this weekend.
Heerenveen, on the other hand, have started the new season in terrible fashion, picking up only two points from their opening four games and will be keen to turn things around soon. The visitors, who currently sit in second-to-last place, conceded a 93rd minute equalizer in their 2-2 draw with Go Ahead Eagles last time out and will need to show major improvements as they go up against one of the league's best sides.
