Feyenoord will welcome RKC Waalwijk on Sunday afternoon with the understanding that only a victory will keep their Eredivisie title hopes alive.

Currently, the reigning champions find themselves 10 points behind league leaders PSV Eindhoven, while RKC sits in 16th place in the standings.

Feyenoord's tally of 49 points from 21 league matches in the 2023-24 season is commendable, especially considering their increased involvement in European competitions. However, closing the 10-point gap to PSV with 13 matches remaining will require a remarkable effort, with their upcoming clash at the Philips Stadion on March 3 looming as a crucial encounter.

Under the guidance of manager Arne Slot, Feyenoord has maintained an impressive 10-match unbeaten streak, which includes six clean sheets and a spot in the KNVB Beker semi-finals.

Although Feyenoord is favored to win the KNVB Beker, they face a challenge in the Europa League after being held to a 1-1 draw by Roma in the first leg of their last-32 tie on Thursday.

One area of concern for Slot may be Feyenoord's recent difficulty in scoring more than twice in a single game, a trend that has persisted for nine matches.

In contrast, RKC has shown resilience despite their position near the bottom of the table, scoring in all but one of their last 10 games, an impressive feat given their current standing.

To break an eight-game losing streak, though, required a 2-0 victory over NEC last time out. It was also the first clean sheet held since September.

Henk Fraser is aware that he needs to make improvements more consistently because in his 22 games as RKC's manager, he has only won five and lost fourteen.

RKC travels to De Kuip having only scored seven goals in their ten away Eredivisie games this season and losing seven of them.

Santiago Gimenez was only healthy enough to play for Feyenoord on Thursday as a substitute, and that might still be the case today.

Lutsharel Geertruida and Quinten Timber are expected to be eligible for selection by Feyenoord, however it's uncertain if they would be risked right away.

It is anticipated that injuries will keep Thomas van den Belt, Justin Bijlow, and Gernot Trauner out of action.Fraser is probably going to start the RKC starting lineup from the victory over NEC, barring any injury concerns.

After receiving a red card last month, midfielder Godfried Roemeratoe is serving the final game of a three-match suspension. David Min scored both goals during that encounter, bringing his total for the season to three.
