On 11 December, 2016, 16:30, AZ Alkmaar will play against Feyenoord on AFAS Stadion in the upcoming match of Eredivisie’s round 16.
After a number of inconclusive games, AZ Alkmaar have had a good series of matches without losses, allowing the team to elevate to the upper part of the table. A draw against Excelsior in the previous round, 3:3, has continued the lossless streak of AZ up to 9 matches in all tournaments. Thus, after 15 rounds since the beginning of the championship, AZ Alkmaar have gained 25 points with total score of 27:18 and is currently holding the 5th place in the table.
In spite of a number of failures, which Feyenoord have had along the season, The Pride of the South continue to lead the championship race, although, the gap between the closest chaser has shortened to zero. Thus, for the past 5 rounds, Feyenoord have gained 8 out of 15 possible points, having drawn with Heerenveen, 2:2, Utrecht, 3:3, losing to Go Ahead Eagles, 1:0, and also winning over Zwolle, 3:0, and Sparta, 6:1.
The history of the head-to-head meetings between the teams has been finished mostly by Feyenoord victories. Last time, the teams met in March, this year, in a cup game, where Feyenoord won with 3:1 score. AZ haven’t lost a single match at home this season, whereas Feyenoord have only one defeat. Considering, that Feyenoord will have a crucial game in Europa League, where their future fate will be decided, the team wouldn’t be in a perfect condition for the match against AZ.
Prediction for the game: Feyenoord to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
