Preview: Feyenoord vs. FC Twente - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Sunday's Eredivisie clash between Feyenoord and FC Twente, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

The standout fixture of round nine of the 2022-23 Eredivisie season sees Feyenoord and FC Twente go head to head at De Kuip on Sunday afternoon.

With the sides currently separated by just one point and one place in the Eredivisie table, this weekend's clash promises to be a thrilling battle.

Feyenoord played out a thrilling 2-2 stalemate against Midtjylland in their third Europa Conference League group-stage match at the MCH Arena on Sunday.

Arne Slot's men went into the interval with a commanding lead thanks to strikes from Sebastian Szymanski and Orkun Kokcu before Gustav Isaksen and Juninho netted in the second half to restore parity.

Just before that, De Stadionclub were held to a 1-1 draw by NEC Nijmegen in their last outing and have dropped down to fourth place in the standings.

Awaiting them next is the challenge of an opposing outfit who have won each of the last two meetings between the teams and are unbeaten in the most recent six encounters.

Having won each of their last three home games by a combined score of 13-0, Sunday's hosts will heavily fancy themselves to put on another attacking masterclass in front of their supporters.

Twente made it three successive victories on home turf courtesy of an emphatic 3-0 thrashing of Vitesse at Stade Grolsch Veste on Saturday.

Ron Jans's men broke the deadlock through Joshua Brenet in the 37th minute after which second-half strikes from Virgil Misidjan and Gijs Smal sealed the deal.

With 16 points amassed from a possible 24 so far, The Tukkers have moved up to fifth in the league table, four points adrift of leaders AZ Alkmaar.

Currently on a four-game winless run on the road, Sunday's visitors have it all to do as they look to turn their away fortunes around in Rotterdam this weekend.

Feyenoord's Oussama Idrissi was forced off with a first-half injury against Midtjylland, making the Moroccan a doubt for Sunday's clash.

Alireza Jahanbakhsh came on for Idrissi in the aforementioned game and the 29-year-old is the favourite to come into the starting XI for this one.

Michal Sadilek remains sidelined with a muscle injury which has seen him miss each of Twente's last five matches since the final week of August.

Virgil Misidjan has found the back of the net in each of his last two appearances and the forward will be aiming to come up trumps for his side once again.

Feyenoord possible starting lineup:
Bijlow; Lopez, Hancko, Trauner, Geertruida; Kokcu, Dilrosun, Timber; Jahanbakhsh, Danilo, Szymanski

FC Twente possible starting lineup:
Tyton; Brenet, Hilgers, Propper, Smal; Vlap, Zerrouki, Kjolo; Cerny, Val Wolfswinkel, Misidjan

We say: Feyenoord 2-1 FC Twente

Despite boasting the Eredivisie's best defensive record so far, Twente face an uphill task of trying to stifle Feyenoord, who have been in tremendous form in front of goal this term.

We are backing the home side to come out on top, albeit by only a narrow margin.
