Round 29 of the 2022-23 Eredivisie sees Cambuur welcome Feyenoord to the Cambuur Stadion on Sunday looking to avoid a fifth defeat in a row.

Feyenoord put one foot into the last four of the Europa League thanks to a 1-0 victory over Serie A outfit Roma at De Kuip on Thursday evening.
Arne Slot's men rode their luck all through the contest and had Mats Wieffer to thank, as his 53rd-minute opener proved to be the difference in Rotterdam.
Prior to that, De Stadionclub recorded a comprehensive 5-1 victory over RKC Waalwijk on Sunday, which saw them maintain their eight-point lead at the top of the Eredivisie table.
Lying in store next is the challenge of an opposing outfit who are looking to avoid a 15th straight loss in this fixture across all competitions since 1998.
Having not suffered defeat in any of their nine away outings of 2023, Sunday's visitors will be confident of securing an impressive result en route to being crowned champions come the end of May.
Cambuur came away empty-handed from the fourth league game running thanks to a 4-0 defeat against FC Twente at De Grolsch Veste Stadium on Sunday.
Sjors Ultee's men trailed in next to no time courtesy of Ricky van Wolfswinkel's opener before further goals from Michel Vlap, Sem Steijn and Joshua Brenet put the result beyond doubt.
Consequently, the Yellow-Blues remain rooted to the bottom of the standings, 11 points adrift of safety with little time to save themselves from the seemingly inevitable calamity of relegation.
Currently with the worst home record in the entire division, Sunday's hosts prepare for another daunting task in front of their fans where they have lost all but two of the last 12 involvements leading up to this weekend.
Team News
Maxim Gullit will not play any part for Cambuur due to a long-term knee injury which has seen the defender fail to feature all-season long.
Silvester van der Water and Robin Maulun also miss out through injury, but the latter is not far off making a return to action for the home side.
Roberts Uldrikis and Mimoun Mahi made their respective comebacks last time out, although it is highly unlikely either of them will be handed a starting berth here.
Quinten Timber is Feyenoord's only guaranteed absentee with a knee problem, and the 21-year-old still faces an extended spell on the sidelines.
Javairo Dilrosun has been an unused substitute in each of his side's last two outings, but the forward could feature at some stage this weekend.
Cambuur possible starting lineup:
Ruiter; Bangura, Smand, Tol, Schmidt; Hoedemakers, Paulissen, Van Kaam; Breij, Foor, Johnsen
Feyenoord possible starting lineup:
Bijlow; Geertruida, Trauner, Hancko, Hartman; Kocku, Wieffer, Szymanski; Idrissi, Gimenez, Jahanbakhsh
We say: Cambuur 0-3 Feyenoord
Feyenoord's near-perfect dominance in this fixture suggests a routine victory for them here. We can see the visitors living up to expectations by emphatically coming away with all three points at the sound of the final whistle.
