09/21/2026 94

The Stadion Feijenoord will host a fascinating encounter as Feyenoord take on AZ Alkmaar. With both clubs in sharp form, this matchup already carries significant weight in the Eredivisie early season race.

Expectations are high given how these sides matched up just a few months ago. Their previous encounter on May 10, 2026 finished 1-1, with Troy Parrott striking early for Feyenoord and Anis Hadj Moussa equalizing in the second half for AZ Alkmaar.

Statistically, that game told the story of two evenly matched teams. AZ Alkmaar had slightly more shots (13 to Feyenoord’s 10) and dominated possession with 60% of the ball. Feyenoord, however, were ruthless in their attacks, turning 5 shots on target into one goal, while AZ Alkmaar managed 3 on target from their 13 shots.

Both teams produced a flurry of dangerous attacks, with Feyenoord tallying 37 and AZ Alkmaar not far behind at 32. Neither side managed to create enough separation to claim all three points, but the balance of the contest was striking.

Feyenoord's recent form has been impressive. Over their last six league matches, they've secured four victories, one draw, and suffered just a single defeat. The attacking force has been relentless, with the team averaging 3.83 goals per match and conceding 1.67.

At home, their potency increases. Feyenoord's last three home outings have seen them go unbeaten, with one win and two draws, while averaging 3 goals per game and conceding only 1.33. Their shot output at home stands out as well, registering 28 attempts and 10 on target per match, while averaging a robust 59.67% possession.

AZ Alkmaar's recent league journey mirrors that of Feyenoord. They too have posted four wins, a draw, and a loss in their last six, scoring at a rate of 2 goals per match while maintaining a strong defensive record with only one conceded per outing. Their average possession during this run is a commanding 60.5%.

On their travels, AZ Alkmaar have been difficult to break down, keeping clean sheets in 40% of their last 10 away Eredivisie games. They’re unbeaten in 86% of their last seven on the road, averaging 1.8 scored and 1.1 conceded per match.

The main trends back up the sense of two sides in strong form. Feyenoord have avoided defeat in 13 of their last 16 Eredivisie home matches and 92% of their last 12 matches in all competitions. AZ Alkmaar, for their part, are undefeated in 80% of their last 30 across all competitions, and in all 12 of their most recent league fixtures.

Feyenoord’s current league campaign began in explosive fashion with resounding wins over PEC Zwolle (7-0) and Utrecht (5-0). Anis Hadj Moussa and Nacho Ferri have led the scoring surge, with Feyenoord netting 13 times in those two dominating performances and maintaining over 60% possession in both.

AZ Alkmaar, meanwhile, have shown their own firepower. They have collected wins against SC Telstar, Go Ahead Eagles, Fortuna Sittard, and Utrecht, and hit five goals against Go Ahead Eagles while averaging over 55% possession across their matches so far. Mexx Meerdink and Ro-Zangelo Daal are both looking sharp in front of goal.

Given recent trends and squad continuity, both managers are likely to stick with their preferred lineups and set-ups. Feyenoord are expected to line up in a 4-3-3, while AZ Alkmaar will probably match that with their reliable 4-2-3-1.

Goalkeeper: Tjark Ernst
Defenders: Tsuyoshi Watanabe, Jeremiah St. Juste, Givairo Read, Mika Mármol
