In a weekend match in week 15, on Sunday Jan 8th, FC Utrecht and Feyenoord will play a match in Utrecht in a meeting of these two mismatched Eredivisie teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 7 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. 7th placed FC Utrecht is fresh off their 4-0 shutout win against FC Volendam. Taylor Booth scored the first goal for FC Utrecht in the 14th minute, then Bas Dost added another in the 74th minute In the end, FC Volendam couldn’t muster any offence and FC Utrecht ran away with the shutout win. FC Utrecht is on a hot streak lately, with 7 wins in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Feyenoord recorded a 5-1 win against Excelsior. Kenzo Goudmijn struck first for Excelsior in the 4th minute on a feed from Marouan Azarkan, but Sebastian Szymański got the equalizer for Feyenoord in the 11th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 20th minute on a goal by Orkun Kökçü. Feyenoord looks to continue their winning ways, having 7 wins in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win each.
Feyenoord’s top weapon lately has been Sebastian Szymański, who has three goals in the last 5 matches. FC Utrecht is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Douvikas and Sander van de Streek each having 2 goals in their last 5
FC Utrecht will be without Bart Ramselaar, Nick Viergever, Django Warmerdam, Mimoun Mahi and Ramon Hendriks, while Feyenoord will be without Oussama Idrissi.
