Arne Slot will make one change in his hundredth game on the bench at Feyenoord on Sunday compared to last week’s game with Go Ahead Eagles. At least, that’s what it expects Algemeen Dagblad. Santiago Giménez was not fit enough to play last week, but will probably return to the starting line-up against PEC Zwolle.
Because Giménez was unable to play last week, Slot was forced to start with Ayase Ueda at the point of attack. The Japanese enhanced this starting spot with a goal. Now that his Mexican competitor is fit again, he will probably act as attack leader again.

There is probably also room for Luka Ivanusec up front. The Croatian was allowed to start against Go Ahead Eagles and was immediately accurate. Igor Paixão has fulfilled that position with gusto recently, but injured his hamstring in the cup final two weeks ago. The Brazilian has now recovered from this, but he will probably start on the bench.
Slot will probably just choose Gernot Trauner at the back. The captain of the Rotterdam team had to miss a training last week, but is available for the match against PEC. He will then form the heart of the defense together with Thomas Beelen, while Dávid Hancko operates as a left back.
Probable line-up Feyenoord: Bijlow; Geertruida, Trauner, Beelen, Hancko; Zerrouki, Stengs, Timber; Minteh, Giménez, Ivanusec.
PEC Zwolle’s probable line-up: Offender; Van Polen, Kersten, Mac Nulty, Van der Haar; El Azzouzi, Velenas, Krastev; Reijnders, Thy, Van der Water.
