Feyenoord and Oostende will face each other in a friendly on Saturday (December 10) as both teams continue preparations for a return to competitive action.
The Eredivisie side have not been in action since a comfortable 5-1 comeback home win in the league over Excelsior last month. Sebastian Szynabski was the star of the show, starring with a brace.
Oostende, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw with Lille in a friendly on Wednesday. Thierry Henry put the Belgians ahead in the fifth minute, but a second-half brace from Alan Virginius saw Lille take the lead before Indy Boonen's late equaliser.
Saturday's game will be Oostende's last friendly before they return to competitive action later this month.
Meanwhile, the Eredivisie will not resume till next year. Feyenoord have lined up five friendlies in December, with games against Strasbourg, Rennes, Go Ahead Eagles and FC Emmen to come.

Feyenoord vs Oostende Prediction
Feyenoord were on a positive run of form before the World Cup break, so the Rotterdam outfit will be raring to go. Arne Slot's team have five friendlies lined up this year before returning to competitive action in 2023.
They will kickstart proceedings against an Oostende side that are unbeaten in friendlies this year.
Both teams are attack-minded, particularly Oostende, which could play to Feyenoord's attacking strength. The Dutch side should claim a win in a high-scoring game.
