Overview.
Feyenoord continue to experience an indifferent start to their Eredivisie campaign. Despite remaining unbeaten so far, Jaap Stam’s men have picked up fewer points at this stage than in any of their last four campaigns. Notably, Feyenoord finally won their first home game last time out, scoring first after coming from behind to draw the previous two. What makes Feyenoord’s 2019/20 start so puzzling is the fact that they have been favourites in all of their games so far – winning just a third. Moreover, Feyenoord failed to win 40% of the games in which they began bookmakers favourite in 2018/19, though they did manage to win this fixture (2-1).
On the other hand, the bookmakers were bang on the money when installing AZ as outsiders away from home last term as the ‘Alkmaarders’ lost all three such matches. Notably, AZ have not won on this ground in their last nine competitive trips since the 2010/11 campaign. AZ have scored first in four of their last five competitive away matches, though they did lose and a draw during this sequence. However, no side have conceded fewer than AZ’s two away goals in the Eredivisie this season (0.66 per match average).
