Arne Slot starts with Igor Paixão in the starting line-up in the home match against NEC, which means that Luka Ivanusec will have to make do with a place on the bench against the Nijmegen team. Javairo Dilrosun, who scored beautifully against NEC in the cup last season, starts as a right winger.
Justin Bijlow is the goalkeeper of Feyenoord on Sunday afternoon, which will arrive without too many surprises. At the back, Slot opts for the usual four names: Lutsharel Geertruida, Gernot Trauner, Dávid Hancko and Quilindschy Hartman. The midfield is formed by Mats Wieffer, Quinten Timber and Calvin Stengs.

Up front, Arne Slot chooses Paixão, Santiago Giménez and Dilrosun. The latter was decisive against NEC last season, as the wing attacker scored in a truly brilliant way in the cup match against the Gelderland club. Dilrosun has received more confidence from Arne Slot in the last period and the coach will continue to give him that for the time being.
Feyenoord line-up:
Bijlow; Geertruida, Trauner, Hancko, Hartman; Wieffer, Timber, Stengs; Dilrosun, Gimenez, Paixão
