FC Utrecht have turned out to be one of the biggest surprises this season in the Eredivisie. After eight games, they currently occupy second place with 22 points accumulated and are just five points behind league leaders PSV Eindhoven, albeit with a game in hand.

Utrecht are one of three sides in the league yet to suffer defeat, recording seven wins and one draw from those first eight games. Ron Jans's men have meant business this season, and their 1-0 away win to Groningen over the weekend extended their winning streak to six matches. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Brouwer; Horemans, Van der Hoorn, Viergever, Karouani; Fraulo, Aaronson; Romeny, Jensen, Cathline; Min

Feyenoord

Form: WWDWD

Feyenoord's effectiveness in the final third paid off in their match against Benfica in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday as they cruised to a comfortable 3-1 away victory. This was their second consecutive away win in the competition. 

Prior to that, the Rotterdammers thrashed the Go Ahead Eagles 5-1 away from home in the league and have shown that they are not reliant on injured Santiago Gimenez to be a dangerous force in the final third. Heading into this clash, they have won their last four matches across all competitions and have avoided defeat in six.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Wellenreuther; Lotomba, Trauner, Hancko, Bueno; Milambo, Hwang, Timber; Osman, Ueda, Paixao

Expert Betting Tips

Feyenoord have enjoyed their recent meetings with FC Utrecht, but they'll find it challenging this time around as they go up against a side that has yet to suffer defeat in the early stages of the season. However, that doesn't mean they won't cruise to a hard-fought victory, and their win over Benfica in the UEFA Champions League should be enough motivation to see them come away with all three points.
