Defending Eredivisie champions Feyenoord face Heerenveen at De Kuip on Saturday, looking for a third consecutive league victory.

Arne Slot's men drew two games to start the season but have since risen in the standings, while their visitors lost two straight games before the international break.

Feyenoord won the Eredivisie for the 16th time last season and have gone unbeaten in their first four games this season, a streak that might be extended to five on Saturday.

It's not awful, but two draws against Fortuna Sittard and Sparta Rotterdam may leave them three points behind AZ and PSV if the top two win their remaining games.

Slot's side were unable to overcome a tenacious Fortuna team in their first encounter at De Kuip this season, but replied with a 6-1 thrashing of new boys Almere City FC in their most recent home game.

De Stadionclub could win consecutive games at home for the first time this season, which is expected against a team that has not beaten Feyenoord in five previous meetings.

It remains to be seen whether Heerenveen can halt their five-match winless streak against the current league champions, although the away side picking up a point in the equivalent game last season provides some hope.

De Superfriezen played a goalless draw at De Kuip in August 2022, and a recurrence would be nice for a team that had lost three straight games before the international break.

Last season's eighth-placed side, led by Kees van Wonderen, won back-to-back games against Waalwijk and Utrecht, but losses to Sparta and Go Ahead Eagles have dampened the early-season optimism.

The visitors have been sloppy at the defense in both meetings, allowing three goals after allowing just one in the first two gameweeks of the season.

 

Van Wonderen's team might surpass last season's champions with an unexpected victory in Rotterdam, but whether they do so remains to be seen.

Ayase Ueda is not anticipated to return until late September, while Justin Bijlow is not likely to return until next month.

Feyenoord will be without Antoni Milambo, Timo Zaal, and Lutsharel Geertruida this weekend.

Heerenveen is missing suspended Thom Haye and Charlie Webster, who were both dismissed against Sparta and the GA Eagles, respectively.

Patrik Walemark, on loan from the hosts, and Sven van Beek, who has been out since January, are both questionable for Saturday's game at De Kuip.

On Saturday, Feyenoord will host Heerenveen in an Eredivisie matchday five matchup at De Kuip.

The defending champions are coming off a convincing 5-1 away win against Utrecht before the international break. In the sweep, Santiago Gimenez scored twice, while Calvin Stengs, Ayase Ueda, and Yanjuba Minteh each scored once.

Meanwhile, Go Ahead Eagles defeated Heerenveen 3-2 away. The home team's goals came from Bas Kuipers, Philippe Rommens, and Sylla Sow, while the visitors' goals came from Charlie Webster and Osame Sahraoui.

The defeat dropped De Superfriezen to eighth place in the rankings, with six points from four games. Feyenoord are fourth in the table with eight points from four games.

 This will be the two teams' 76th league meeting. Feyenoord have 39 victories to their name, while Heerenveen have 18 victories and the same amount of draws.Their most recent meeting was in March 2023, when Feyenoord won 1-0 on the road.Feyenoord are unbeaten in their last five head-to-head meetings, winning four and drawing one.This season, three of Heerenveen's four league games have seen goals at both ends and produced at least four goals.Feyenoord has scored precisely three goals in four of their previous five head-to-head games.
