AZ Alkmaar

Form: DDLLW

AZ Alkmaar's form has plummeted, with points slipping away in all directions. In their latest match against Heerenveen on the road, they performed well to salvage a point in a dramatic 2-2 draw, considering they were down to ten men in the 40th minute.

However, this has left them without a win in four league matches (L2 D2), and having only won two of their last ten matches (L4 D4), this goes to show that AZ Alkmaar have typified nothing but inconsistency. Despite being on a two-match winless run at home, AZ Alkmaar have maintained a consistent form, winning six of their last ten matches, and will fancy their chances of getting back to winning ways.

With 35 points accumulated in 19 matches, AZ Alkmaar sit in fourth place in the Eredivisie standings, one point ahead of fifth-placed Ajax Amsterdam and three points behind third-placed FC Twente.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Owusu-Oduro; Goes, Martins Indi, Bazoer, Penetra; Belic, De Wit, Clasie; Lahdo, Pavlidis, Van Brederode

Feyenoord

Form: DWDWW

Having won 1-0 at home to league leaders PSV Eindhoven in the KNVB Beker, Arne Slot was almost certain that things were starting to look up for his side moving forward. However, a recent league match against FC Twente, which resulted in a goalless draw, has cast doubt on that anticipated certainty. The last time they were held to a goalless draw in the Eredivisie was against Fortuna Sittard in the previous season on August 13th.

Despite that, the Pride of the North have been impressive leading up to this match, as they have maintained a five-match unbeaten run (W3 D2). On the road, they have been at their best performance as they are currently on a four-match winning streak since a 2-1 defeat to FC Twente on October 29th and will seek to maintain their good form by picking up their fifth consecutive win.

With 43 points accumulated in 19 matches, Feyenoord sit in second place in the Eredivisie standings, five points ahead of third-placed FC Twente and twelve points behind first-placed PSV Eindhoven.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Bijlow; Geertruida, Trauner, Hancko, Hartman; Wieffer, Timber; Dilrosun, Stengs, Paixao; Gimenez
