Feyenoord

Feyenoord will be without at least seven players for their upcoming game in hand due to injuries. Ayase Ueda, Calvin Stengs, Quinten Timber, Bart Nieuwkoop, Justin Bijlow, Chris Nadje, and Jordan Lotomba are all sidelined.
After their narrow 3-2 victory over Go Ahead Eagles in the last match, head coach Robin van Persie may decide to make some changes.
Forward Ibrahim Osman and striker Zepiqueno Redmond are among those hoping for a starting position. However, Igor Paixão is likely to continue playing on Feyenoord's left flank, having impressed this season. Paixão is the club's leading scorer, with a total of 10 goals.
Groningen

Tika de Jonge is suspended for Groningen after picking up two yellow cards in the 1–1 draw at NAC Breda last time out. He could be replaced in the middle of the pitch by Dave Kwakman, who played out wide last time out.
Kwakman's move inside opens the door for Jorg Schreuders to return to Groningen's starting lineup on the right wing, with Mats Seuntjens operating on the other flank.
De Jonge is joined on the sidelines by the injured trio of Leandro Bacuna, Maxim Mariani, and Sven Bouland. Brynjolfur Andersen Willumsson is another pushing for a start for Groningen. Willumsson, Thom van Bergen, and Jorg Schreuders have been Groningen's most prolific players this campaign, scoring four, three, and three goals, respectively.
