Feyenoord will try to knock AZ off top spot on Saturday. The Rotterdam side are set to do it with a familiar line-up, Voetbalzone predicts. The Eredivisie blockbuster at De Kuip kicks off at 18:45 and will be shown live on ESPN 1.
Tjark Ernst will start in goal against the leaders from Alkmaar. Feyenoord's back four, from right to left, should be Givairo Read, Jeremiah St. Juste, Tsuyoshi Watanabe and Mika Marmól. Watanabe is fit again after picking up an injury with the Japan national team.
In midfield, Oussama Targhalline and Charles Vanhoutte must provide control for Feyenoord. Gjivai Zechiël, who made his debut for the Netherlands national team, is the most attack-minded player in the trio.
Up front, Anis Hadj Moussa is fully fit again and will start in his usual position on the right, while Luciano Valente is expected to carry the threat from the left. Nacho Ferri leads the line through the middle.
A win would take Feyenoord one point above AZ and send the Rotterdam side to the top of the table. Confidence is high after their 0-7 win over PEC Zwolle and 5-0 victory against FC Utrecht before the international break.
Probable Feyenoord line-up: Ernst; Read, Watanabe, St. Juste, Marmól; Targhalline, Vanhoutte, Zechiël; Hadj Moussa, Ferri, Valente.
