Feyenoord vs Utrecht: Six Absentees for the Hosts

Updated Sat 19 Sept

Feyenoord host Utrecht in the Eredivisie on Sunday 20 September 2026 at Stadion Feijenoord in Rotterdam, having beaten PEC Zwolle 7-0 in their previous league match. The home side enter the weekend third in the standings with 14 points from six fixtures.

Feyenoord manage six squad absences

The Rotterdam side enter Matchweek 7 without six players. B. Nieuwkoop, G. Smal, J. Bos, J. Moder, and T. Beelen are sidelined through injury, while R. Nelson is not in the squad. Despite these absences, Feyenoord have scored 20 goals in six league fixtures, led by Gjivai Zechiël, who has five goals in all competitions this season. At Stadion Feijenoord, Feyenoord have drawn both of their home league fixtures, scoring four and conceding four, including a 2-2 draw with ADO Den Haag on 30 August 2026. Across their last five matches with chance data, they generated 1.32 expected goals per game while allowing 0.74.

Utrecht conceded 19 goals in six games

Utrecht sit 14th in the table with five points from six games, having allowed 19 goals—the highest total in the division. They picked up their first league win on 13 September 2026 by defeating Excelsior 2-1 away, after a 3-3 draw with GO Ahead Eagles on 8 September and a 6-1 defeat to PSV Eindhoven on 30 August. Artem Stepanov leads their scoring with three goals in all competitions, but Utrecht are missing A. Engwanda, M. Jonathans, N. Ohio, and V. Jensen through injury, alongside K. Paredes who is not in the squad. In their last five matches with chance data, Utrecht created 0.63 expected goals per game and conceded 1.37. Away from home, their league record stands at one win, one draw, and one defeat from three trips.

Feyenoord won the last two meetings

Feyenoord have taken maximum points from the last two head-to-head fixtures between the sides. On 8 February 2026, Feyenoord recorded a 1-0 away victory over Utrecht, following a 3-2 home win on 5 October 2025.

Our model firmly expects a Feyenoord win

Our forecasting model firmly expects a Feyenoord win. The call reflects the gap between Feyenoord's underlying numbers—1.32 expected goals created to 0.74 allowed—and Utrecht's 19 goals conceded in six league games, even though Feyenoord are still seeking their first home league victory after two draws at Stadion Feijenoord.
