However, they will in fact do so at a later date. The Dutch FA has accepted their request to move the match to a later date.

That will allow Feyenoord to more aptly prepare and rest between the two legs against Inter.

Meanwhile, AZ have had a similar request accepted. They will not play their scheduled match against Waalwijk this weekend between two legs of a Europa League tie against Tottenham Hotspur.

On the other hand, Ajax will play their Eredivisie match this week. They have a Europa League tie against Eintracht Frankfurt as well.
