Heracles Almelo

Heracles will be without at least six players as they approach the latest matchday in the Eredivisie.
Jordy Bruijn, Justin Hoogma, Sava Čestić, and Nikolai Laursen are all recovering from injuries, while Thomas Bruns and Jizz Hornkamp are suspended. Jan Zamburek and Luka Kulenovic will step in for Bruns and Hornkamp, respectively.
Kulenovic and Hornkamp have been significant attacking threats for Heracles this season. Kulenovic is the club's top scorer with eight goals, five of which have been crucial opening goals of the match. Hornkamp has also performed well, scoring seven times, including three match-openers.
Following their 4-1 loss to Groningen in their last match, head coach Erwin van de Looi may consider further changes to his starting lineup, with full-back Mimeirhel Benita and forward Juho Talvitie also vying for a starting position.
Feyenoord

Feyenoord continues to miss a plethora of players heading into their latest Eredivisie matchday, with seven players unavailable due to injury, while Gernot Trauner is suspended.
Trauner reached the yellow card threshold last time out as the Rotterdammers ran out 4-0 winners against PEC Zwolle, while head coach Robin van Persie expects to bring Thomas Beelen in for the Austrian centre-back.
Van Persie shouldn't make too many changes from Feyenoord's starting eleven, though forward Aymen Sliti is pushing for a start, but their front three of Anis Hadj Moussa, Ayase Ueda, and Igor Paixão look formidable.
Speaking of Paixão, he has been the leading attacking threat for Feyenoord, scoring on 14 occasions. He is tied for second among the league's top scorers in 2024/25.
