The Eredivisie will return from its three-week break this weekend, with Feyenoord hosting Vitesse in one of the matchday 19 fixtures on Saturday.
The hosts rounded up 2021 with a routine 3-0 victory away to Heerenveen. Guus Til, Marcos Senesi and Bryan Linseen all found the back of the net.
Lois Openda's goal two minutes after the restart was enough to hand Vitesse all three points in a narrow 1-0 victory over Zwolle in their final match of 2021.
That win helped the Arnhem outfit hold on to fourth spot in the table, having garnered 33 points from 18 matches. Feyenoord are six points ahead of them in third place.
