Feyenoord come into this match in decent shape, having won two of their last five games and drawn two more, with just one loss in that run. AZ Alkmaar, on the other hand, have been struggling to pick up wins recently – they have drawn four of their last five matches and lost the other, so they are finding it hard to get over the line.

When these two sides have met before, there have often been a lot of goals. Their last two meetings both ended in draws, with scores of 1-1 and an exciting 3-3. This suggests it could be an open, close contest with chances at both ends. Given that Feyenoord are in better form and AZ are stuck in a rut of draws, the home side look the stronger team and should be expected to win this one.
