Feyenoord will welcome NEC Nijmegen to De Kuip for a matchday seven fixture in the Eredivisie on Saturday.
The home side come into the clash on the back of a routine 3-1 victory over Heerenveen on the same ground. Guus Til scored in both halves along with a Bryan Linssen goal to guide Feyenoord to all three points.
NEC suffered a 3-0 home defeat to Utrecht on Wednesday. Bart Ramselaar was the star of the show with a brace for the visitors in a convincing victory.
That defeat left Nijmegen in eighth place in the table, having garnered eight points from six matches. Feyenoord's 12 points is enough for fourth spot in the standings.
