AZ Alkmaar faced off against relegation-threatened RKC Waalwijk on Tuesday. This was their chance to get back to winning ways in the Eredivisie, however, a 2-2 draw at the sound of the final whistle extended their winless run to four games.
Their defence has been their undoing so far, not to forget their failure to grasp wins. They have conceded ten goals in four of those games and they were in a winning position in all but one.
However, their performance at AFAS Stadion deserves a little praise. Maarten Martens troops have lost just one of their last seven games at this venue, and come into this clash unbeaten in three, recording two wins and one draw.

Feyenoord
Form: WWWDW
Feyenoord have been unstoppable and are now mounting a late top-two finish in the Eredivisie standings. After going four league games without a win, they have avoided defeat in seven, recording five wins and two draws.
Since Robin van Persie's appointment, the team has been revived. In his four league games in charge, the 41-year-old skipper has recorded three wins and one draw. During this period, they scored a whopping 13 goals, showing some improvements in the attacking department.
In their most recent match, they thrashed Groningen 4-1 at home, extending their winning streak in the league to three games. Before their, 6-2 drubbing of FC Twente, van Persie's men were on a four-match winless run. This was their worst run since a six-match winless run in March 2021.

Expert Betting Tips
Fulltime Result - Feyenoord @ 2.80 with Bet365.
Feyenoord has been the superior side in this fixture. If we put aside their head-to-head dominance, they have been by far the better side than AZ Alkmaar, who couldn't even beat a relegation-threatened team to save themselves. I was going to be worried if there was new injury news regarding Feyenoord, but this is a team that has been performing well despite missing the likes of Calvin Stengs, Quinten Timber, Bart Nieuwkoop to name a few. That said, I'm confidently backing the away side to come out on top here.
Total - Over 2.5 @ 1.78 with`1xbet.
I'm expecting another high-scoring affair with Feyenoord coming out on top in a 3-2 victory. The visitors have been ruthless in front of goal, and their 13 goals in just three games goes to show how ruthless they have been. This makes my second prediction: Over 2.5 goals.
Both Teams To Score - Yes @ 1.63 with Betway.
This has to be the easiest pick of them all, a bet on both teams finding the back of the net. I don't think we will see a clean sheet here. AZ Alkmaar have been regular scorers at home this season and will be able to get on the scoreboard.
