AZ Alkmaar vs Feyenoord Prediction
De Kaasboeren are unbeaten in their last six home games in the Eredivisie, recording four wins. They have scored 15 goals in these games and will look to continue that form.
Seiya Maikuma is the only player who is in doubt for this match for the home team. Jordy Clasie will be a key player here against his boyhood club.
De club aan de Maas have a 100% record in the league this season, conceding just one goal while scoring 11 times. They have won their last three away games in this fixture, keeping two consecutive clean sheets.
Robin van Persie is likely to experiment with his starting XI again. Oussama Targhalline picked up a knock last week and is a major doubt. Hadj Moussa is back from a suspension. Gernot Trauner, Thomas Beelen, and Hwang In-Beom remain sidelined.
The visitors have been the dominant side in this fixture recently, and considering their 100% record in the league thus far, we back the league leaders to register a win.
