Now let's analyze how, considering AZ Alkmaar is playing at away.

Feyenoord will win this match, as they will not squander the opportunity they have while playing at home.

Above is an image of the latest odds, are we seeing doubts that Feyenoord will fail? Well, a loss is still possible if Feyenoord doesn't play up to expectations, but given the current condition, we shouldn't expect them to lose, because first place & the lead in the Eredivisie standings are already within their reach.

Feyenoord at home is a very strong team and the odd of 1.70 is a very good one for me. The game is just about to start now, if I had money to bet I would definitely bet hard on Feyenoord as rarely I have seen such big odds for them when playing at home, I have money but I am quitting gambling altogether and I am happy to not feel absolutely no need to deposit and play. Az is a strong team also but rarely they do perform well when playing outside their home, especially on strong teams like Feyenoord so I don't expect them to be a showstopper or danger for Feyenoord during tonight game. Again if you like an easier win other than money line bets then usually goals do happen in this league and over 2.5 or over 3.5 in the games between big teams is usually very much likely to happen.

The match is a very strong one indeed and may be the toughest match in the league this week. Both Feyenoord and AZ Alkmaar are performing fantastically and this is where predicting the match is a little difficult. Furthermore, The European tournaments of next week will also influence the match because of reserving some players or not playing hard games to avoid injuries. The best option to bet on the match is both teams to score, this is safer than over 2.5.

Loosing before the international break is as far from guarantors as it would get. I get a bit skeptical on gambling on these kind of bets given that, players from the top tier teams are usually the ones that gets called upon, many of them come back worn out or injured and the team don’t get to a good start easily, you can always bet on PS. To win though.

They obviously are the better team and playing from home, they would always want to get all 3 points in this one.

3 points was almost inevitable. The only time that PSV has fumbled at home this season was their opening fixture of the season against Fortuna Sittard that ended 2-2. For yesterday's game, everyone expected them to win. What disappointed a lot of people was the fact that the game ended with less than 2.5 goals especially at PSV's home expected to be a high scoring affair as usual.

Good to know. Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah, I noticed Google is becoming less and less reliable when it comes to sports events. I noticed they often get UFC cards wrong, but I didn't expect they could mess up football games stats. Or maybe they are just using other sources, and it's not always easy to classify shots on goal (and differentiate them from crosses, strong passes etc), I don't know.

No problem. I stopped using Google for stats anyway. I only use it to see scores and nothing more.

Barcelona has been in a fine form this season so the Feyenoord thrashing didn't come as a surprise to me. Even PSV gets beaten often when it comes to European UCL matches so it was expected for Feyenoord. It's even worse for them because they got the best team in Europe right now.


PSV won today by 2-0. Unfortunately, the match did not end with at least 3 goals for over 2.5 to be settled as a winner. I expected a high scoring affair but I don't know what happened.

I was of course expecting a Barcelona win, but still thought there would be more resistance. Conceding five goals is almost always implying a subpar performance. Getafe conceded three goals and I think Feyenoord should be at least as good as Getafe at the moment. I know these cross comparisons can't always be drawn between leagues and different competitions, but still, Feyenoord was in decent shape and yet they get destroyed against top teams from other leagues.

A big step for them today though as they could beat Alkmaar 2-0. A serious setback for Alkmaar in my opinion as this was the match that could have either been a nice confirmation of their great achievements this season in the domestic league so far, or disillusion them and it was the latter.

They are still good to go, but three points in this match would have been incredibly valuable. Now everything is extremely close at the top and if Ajax manages to get those three points, it's going to be an exciting few weeks.

Feyenoord defeated AZ Alkmaar 2–0, becoming the only unbeaten team in the league. With this victory, they reached 20 points and moved to the top of the Eredivisie standings.
Meanwhile, Ajax drew 1–1 with NEC Nijmegen—despite taking a 1–0 lead in the 7th minute—dropping two points and bringing their total to 15.
I do not think Ajax will be in the title race this year.
I would say that the injuries to Dolberg and Blind have negatively affected Ajax.

Apart from the injuries that Ajax players have, we already know that Ajax have been very backward in the league for some seasons now. A match that they scored in the 7th minute, why couldn't they score another goal before full time.

Feyenoord might be topping the Eredivisie table but they won't be there for a long time because they will still end up being dethroned by either AZ Alkmaar or PSV Eindhoven. The only thing that caught my attention about Feyenoord is that they score a lot of goals and concedes less goals.

AZ Alkmaar may not continue the title race which means that Feyenoord biggest threat could be PSV Eindhoven.

People were asking themselves whether AZ can be considered a serious contender to the title. I think their loss today to Feyenoord showed they are not quite there yet.
While it wasn't a horrible performance by AZ, Feyenoord grabbed a deserved win and they now remain the only undefeated team this season after 8 rounds.

Ajax disappointed their fans by only drawing against NEC, which means so far they only have 50% win ratio, that's not good enough to be fighting for the top spot. Luckily for them, Twente also drew against Fortuna Sittard, so they didn't increase their advantage over Ajax.

Ajax are trying but it appears that their greatest problem is that they lack the ability to maintain consistency across a stretch of games and that has been their problem in recent years including that year that they were on the top of the table for so long and lost the title race at the closing stages.

We need another title contender to arise because Feyernoord doesn't have what it takes to take on PSV for the title.
