Feyenoord, despite losing to PSV Eindhoven in the Dutch Super Cup, had high hopes of winning their opening three league fixtures. However, draws with Fortuna Sittard and Sparta Rotterdam put them on the back foot in their title defense. They managed to bounce back with a commanding 6-1 victory over Almere City, which propelled them to sixth place in the league. However, they are behind several teams with a game in hand due to European commitments.To end this batch of matches on a high note, Feyenoord needs to start a winning streak, and they will be eager to do so at Stadion Galgenwaard.Utrecht had a decent season in 2022-23, finishing seventh, but their disappointment in missing out on the European playoffs lingers. They've had a tough start to the current season, with three consecutive defeats without scoring a goal, including a frustrating loss to newly-promoted PEC Zwolle.Following this poor start, Michael Silberbauer was sacked, and Rob Penders has taken temporary charge until a permanent appointment is made. Utrecht is expected to be without Taylor Booth, Zidane Iqbal, and Anthony Descotte for the match against Feyenoord. Penders may make changes to the starting lineup, with players like Ryan Flamingo and Ole Romeny potentially getting opportunities. Feyenoord, on the other hand, is likely to stick with the same lineup that performed well against Almere City. Bart Nieuwkoop will be serving the final game of his suspension. While Feyenoord hasn't been at their best, this game presents an opportunity to climb up the league. Utrecht's recent struggles in both attack and defense might lead to another loss, with Feyenoord expected to score in each half for a victory.

费耶诺德尽管在荷兰超级杯上输给了埃因霍温，但他们对赢得联赛的前三场比赛抱有很高的希望。然而，与西塔德和鹿特丹斯巴达的平局使他们在卫冕中处于劣势。他们以6-1大胜阿尔米尔城，成功反弹，跃居联赛第六位。然而，由于欧洲的承诺，他们落后于几支球队一场比赛。为了在这一系列比赛中取得一个好的成绩，费耶诺德需要开始一场连胜，而他们将在加尔根沃德球场实现这一目标。乌得勒支在2022-23赛季有一个不错的赛季，排名第七，但他们对错过欧洲季后赛的失望挥之不去。他们本赛季开局艰难，连续三场失利一球未进，其中一场令人沮丧地输给了新升级的兹沃勒。在糟糕的开局之后，迈克尔·西尔伯鲍尔被解雇，罗伯·彭德斯暂时接管，直到正式任命。在对阵费耶诺德的比赛中，乌得勒支预计将失去泰勒·布斯、齐达内·伊克巴尔和安东尼·迪斯科特。彭德尔斯可能会改变首发阵容，像瑞安·弗拉明戈和奥莱·罗姆尼这样的球员可能会得到机会。另一方面，费耶诺德很可能会坚持使用在对阵阿尔米尔城时表现出色的阵容。Bart Nieuwkoop将在禁赛的最后一场比赛中服刑。虽然费耶诺德还没有达到他们的最佳状态，但这场比赛给了他们在联赛中攀升的机会。乌得勒支最近在进攻和防守上的挣扎可能会导致另一场失利，费耶诺德预计将在每半场进球以取得胜利。
