Feyenoord vs Ajax Match Preview

Feyenoord will host Ajax in this big match in Dutch Eredivise.

Feyenoord are the leaders in Eredivise as they have been great this season. They are at the top with 37 points which are 5 more than Ajax and 4 more than AZ Alkmaar. They have lost only once in 16 matches so far. In the UEFA Europa League, they are also through to the knockout phase so it is a really good season for them so far. They also played really well last season as they reached the semifinals in the UEFA Conference League.

Ajax is in a mini-crisis. They are without a single win in the last five matches in the Eredivisie and that is why they are 5 points behind Feyenoord at the moment. They lost some important players before the start of the season such as Antony, and Martinez but, still, they have a lot of quality with Tadic, Timber, Alvarez, Klaassen, and Rulli. I expect that they will start playing better now as all their players that came back from the World Cup are rested. In the last match against Twente, they got an early red card so that was the issue for them.

Feyenoord is playing excellently and they are playing this derby at home which is a great advantage for them, but Ajax can't allow themselves to lose this game because they will be 8 points behind their opponents. This is an excellent opportunity for them to get a win and close the gap. Recently they have been the dominant side in matches against Feyenoord having 6 consecutive wins against them.
