Rotterdam side Feyenoord begin their Eredivisie title defense with home fixture against Fortuna Sittard at the popular De Kuip on Sunday afternoon.
Having suffered only two defeats from 34 rounds during the previous term and finished seven stairs above the second-placed PSV Eindhoven, the Rotterdam club gave its loyal fans the best gift by winning the overall 16th Eredivisie title and the first after five seasons. However, defending the title in the upcoming campaign will be a more difficult mission than expected when captain Orkun Kokcu signed for Portuguese champions Benfica, while Brazilian Danilo moved to Scottish outfit Rangers.
Meanwhile, it was far from that Fortuna Sittard enjoyed the last season, but they nevertheless managed to end the campaign calmly with eight points more than the directly relegated side and ensure survival in the Dutch top-flight for the sixth year in a row. That final 13th position means that the Limburgans are still in the quest for a place among the top 10 since they were promoted in 2018 to the Eredivisie.
Feyenoord vs Fortuna Sittard Betting Tips: AH1 -1.5
Despite an underwhelming start to the campaign - losing 0-1 in the Johan Cruyff Shield to PSV - Feyenoord will be determined to make amends to their fans on Sunday and begin their title defense in routine fashion, having won six of their previous seven meetings against their opening opposition, Fortuna Sittard. The -1.5 handicap on the Rotterdam side should certainly be taken into consideration, bearing in mind that Arne Slott's troops have won by a two-goal margin in seven of their last eight Eredivisie fixtures. Furthermore, a repeat of last season's 1-1 draw at De Kuip will be mission impossible for Fortunezen, as they visit the champions on the back of five straight away defeats, conceding 13 goals in the process. The difference in the quality of these sides is heaven and earth, and the only question is by how many goals margin will Feyenoord win and start the road to defending the title.
