Note: Odds are subject to change at any time!

Feyenoord

Form: LWWWD

Feyenoord head back to De Kuip on Saturday, aiming to bounce back from their poor display against Ajax Amsterdam in the De Klassieker during the week. In that natch, second-half goals from Kenneth Taylor and Jorrel Hato were enough to condemn them to a convincing 2-0 defeat, halting a five-match winning streak. 

It's also worth noting that this was their first defeat of the season, having been on a nine-match unbeaten run, recording five wins and four draws. The Pride of the South sit in fourth place in the league standings and are 11 points off the summit.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Wellenreuther; Bueno, Hancko, Trauner, Read; Milambo, Hwang, Timber; Osman, Carranza, Paixao

AZ Alkmaar

Form: DLLLW

AZ Alkmaar are in the midst of a five-game winless run across all competition, their worst run of results in 22 years. The away team saw their downward spiral hit a new low over the weekend as they were held to a 2-2 draw against the Go Ahead Eagles at home despite being heavily favoured for a comfortable win.

In light of this poor sequence, they have dropped down to sixth place in the league standings. However, they are not far behind the top four, as they are just two points behind fourth-placed Feyenoord, their opponents in this impending encounter. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Owusu-Oduro; Wolfe, Dekker, Penetra, Maikuma; Clasie, Belic; Poku, Mijnans, Kasius; Parrott

Expert Betting Tips

AZ Alkmaar face a particularly tough test in their bird to return to winning ways and halt a four-match winless run in the league. The away team have lost their last three matches against Feyenoord without scoring a single goal. 

Feyenoord, on the other hand, have a point of their own to prove coming into this fixture following a poor performance against Ajax in the derby. Home advantage could play a big role in them regaining their momentum, and we anticipate supporting them in the full-time market to walk away with all three points.
