Feyenoord's coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst has been forced to make changes to his starting lineup due to injuries. Charles Vanhoutte is out with a cold and has been replaced by Oussama Targhalline in midfield. Meanwhile, Jeremiah St. Juste was forced to withdraw from the warm-up and Javi López took his place, with Mika Marmól moving to the centre of the defence.
These changes may seem minor, but they have altered the fundamental principles of Feyenoord's team. López is a different type of defender compared to Marmól, and Targhalline brings different qualities - and weaknesses - to the table compared to Vanhoutte.
