Feyenoord Lineup: Van Persie Surprises by Starting Kraaijeveld
Feyenoord is set to kick off their match against FC Twente at 14:30. The team aims to capitalize on the recent points loss by NEC. However, players are aware that their previous home match against Twente was challenging.
Feyenoord’s Surprising Lineup Against FC Twente
Robin van Persie has made significant changes to the starting lineup since their last encounter with Twente in December.
Goalkeeper and Defense
- Goalkeeper: Timon Wellenreuther
- Defenders:
- Mats Deijl
- Gijs Smal
- Tsuyoshi Watanabe
- Anel Ahmedhodzic
This defense differs from the one that faced Twente earlier this season, where Jordan Lotomba and Jan Plug took the field. Wellenreuther will provide a fresh approach in goal.
Midfield Changes
- Midfielders:
- Thijs Kraaijeveld
- Luciano Valente
- Jakub Moder
The midfield setup has been adjusted but retains some continuity from the last match against Telstar. In-Beom Hwang will start on the bench this time.
Forward Lineup
- Forwards:
- Jordan Bos
- Ayase Ueda
- Anis Hadj Moussa
Jordan Bos, who performed well with two assists in the previous match, will continue on the left wing. This trio aims to enhance the attacking threat against Twente.
