Feyenoord will try to take top spot from AZ on Saturday. The Rotterdam club 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 league leaders from Alkmaar. Givairo Read, Jeremiah St. Juste, Tsuyoshi Watanabe and Mika Marmól are expected to make up Feyenoord's back four from right to left. Watanabe is fit again after suffering an injury with the Japan national team.
In midfield, Oussama Targhalline and Charles Vanhoutte will be asked to provide control. Gjivai Zechiël, who made his debut for the Netherlands national team, is set to be the most attack-minded player in the trio.
Out wide, Anis Hadj Moussa is fully fit again and will start in his usual position on the right, while Luciano Valente will offer the threat from the left. Nacho Ferri will lead the line.
Victory would take Feyenoord one point above AZ and send the Rotterdam side to the top of the table. Confidence is high after a 0-7 win over PEC Zwolle and a 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.
