The line-up of Feyenoord for the game with FC Groningen is known. Dick Advocaat is making changes in two places: Uros Spajic and Mark Diemers are sitting on the bench, Eric Botteghin and Leroy Fer respectively play their place. Nick Marsman is also under the bar in Groningen, because Justin Bijlow is still injured. The match starts at 6.45 p.m.
Bart Nieuwkoop started on Sunday against FC Twente (2-2) for the first time in a long time in the base at Feyenoord. The right back also retains preference over Lutsharel Geertruida against FC Groningen. Furthermore, Feyenoord’s defense is formed by center-backs Botteghin and Marcos Senesi and left back Tyrell Malacia. The latter plays in favor of Ridgeciano Haps, who is again on the bench.
Fer returns to the team as a defensive midfielder on the midriff of Feyenoord. The routine gets support from Jens Toornstra and Orkun Kökçü. Furthermore, the attack of the Rotterdammers remains intact: Bryan Linssen retains the preference in the striker over Nicolai Jörgensen and Lucas Pratto, among others. Steven Berghuis and Luis Sinisterra are the wing attackers.
