- Feyenoord face challenges with a number of players sidelined due to injury as they head into their latest Eredivisie matchday. Nine players are unavailable, and both Hwang In-Beom and Givario Read are serving suspensions.
- In Read's absence, Hugo Bueno is expected to fill the right-back position, while Ramiz Zerrouk is likely to replace central midfielder Hwang.
- Igor Paixão will once again be part of Feyenoord's front three. He has been a vital player for the team this season, leading as their top scorer with 15 goals, which ranks as the second highest in the league for the 2024/25 season.
Waalwijk- RKC Waalwijk heads into the latest round of Eredivisie fixtures without five players who are sidelined due to injury.
- Luuk Vogels, Yanick van Osch, Daouda Weidmann, Richard van der Venne, and Ilias Takidine will all miss this weekend's match.
- Following their impressive 3-1 win over Heerenveen last time out, head coach Henk Fraser may not be inclined to make any changes to his starting lineup.

- Waalwijk’s attack has been led by Oskar Zawada, who has scored nine goals this season, including three that opened the scoring in matches.
