Feyenoord welcome Lazio to De Kuip on Wednesday in the Champions League in what is set to be a hard-fought encounter as both sides have very real ambitions of making it through to the knockout rounds.
Lazio have the slight edge after two matches, thanks to their late draw with Atletico Madrid, while both have already recorded wins over Celtic in Group E.
The 1970 winners have never progressed past a group stage, but they have shown enough signs to believe they can finish in the top two.
Feyenoord were much better than Celtic on the opening day, and the Dutch side were unfortunate in Madrid, losing 3-2 to Atletico despite leading twice at the Metropolitano.
With Lazio up next, facing the two clubs from the Italian capital is something Feyenoord are well accustomed to by now.
Lazio's cross-town rivals Roma have been the scourge of Feyenoord in Europe, beating them in the 2022 Europa Conference League final, as well as knocking them out of last season's Europa League.
The last time prior to that where Feyenoord progressed past the groups was in the 2014-15 Europa League, and Roma were on hand to knock them out that season too.
