FEYENOORD could put themselves right back in the mix for Champions League qualification when they face a crucial showdown with Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.
But to do that they will have to defeat Diego Simeone's men who put down a serious marker when they hammered Celtic 6-0 in their last game in the group.
The Spanish side are top of the group and a win here will seal qualification, but the Dutch cracks are strong at home and there will be a cracking atmosphere at De Kuip.
Feyenoord sit in second place in the Eredivisie and warmed up for the game by winning in their Rotterdam derby against Excelsior at the weekend.
Atletico continued their sensational home form at the weekend and they appear to be impregnable at the Metropolitan. They beat Mallorca to keep tabs on La Liga shock leaders Girona.
However, Feyenoord have already seen off both Celtic and Lazio at their fortress home ground and they will be going all out to beat an Atletico side who don't look as comfortable on their travels.
