Feyenoord will be looking to make it three wins on the bounce across all competitions when they face off against Cambuur at De Kuip on Thursday night.
On the other hand, the away side make the journey to Rotterdam off the back of consecutive defeats and will be eager to get themselves back to winning ways.

Feyenoord saw off the threat of FC Volendam without breaking too much sweat following a 2-0 victory in Sunday's meeting between the sides at the Kras Stadion.
Danilo opened the scoring 16 minutes in to put Arne Slot's men on their way before Sebastian Szymanski doubled the lead two minutes shy of the half-time whistle.
As a result, De Stadionclub have moved up to third place in the Eredivisie table, three points behind current leaders PSV Eindhoven with a game in hand.
Lying in store next is the challenge of an opposing outfit looking to avoid a 14th straight defeat in this fixture dating back to as far back as 1998.
Unbeaten in eight home matches this term in which they have recorded six clean sheets, Thursday's hosts will be full of belief and confidence in their quest to secure yet another positive result on home turf.
Cambuur were on the receiving end of a second 1-0 loss in a row as they just about came up short against NEC Nijmegen at the Cambuur Stadion on Friday.
The game was decided in the penultimate minute of the first half thanks to Lasse Schone's opener which was enough to put Pascal Bosschaart's men to the sword.
With eight points picked up from their opening 12 league games so far, the Yellow-Blues are bottom but one in the league standings, albeit only three points adrift of safety.
Having recorded their first away triumph since August in their most recent outing on the road, Thursday's visitors now seek to make it back to back wins on their travels for the first time since the turn of the year.

Oussama Idrissi is Feyenoord's only guaranteed absentee for this one as the forward continues to battle with a long-term muscle problem which he picked up last month.
Danilo will be looking to deliver the goods once again after the Brazilian was directly involved in both of his side's two goals last time out.
Twenty-one-year-old Maxim Gullit is out of contention for Cambuur due to a knee injury, while Robin Maulun and Jasper Ter Heide also remain sidelined.
The away side will be without the services of Jhondly van der Meer, who is yet to make a single senior appearance this term despite featuring three times in preseason.
Feyenoord possible starting lineup:
Bijlow; Hartman, Hancko, Trauner, Geertruida; Kokcu, Szymanski, Timber; Paixao, Danilo, Dilrosun
Cambuur possible starting lineup:
Virginia; Bangura, Bergsma, Tol, Schmidt; Van Kaam, Hoedemakers, Paulissen; Breij, Uldrikis, Van der Water
We say: Feyenoord 3-1 Cambuur
