Feyenoord form and stats

Feyenoord have played 5 Eredivisie games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-1-0 (wins-draws-losses).

The Feyenoord goalkeeper Timon Wellenreuther is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 185 minutes without conceding a goal in the Eredivisie.

The Feyenoord supporters enjoyed the previous game, watching their team host Vitesse and win 4-0. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Feyenoord played a great game against Vitesse and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. Midfielder Stengs was the best player on the team with a rating of 9.34 (out of ten) in that game. Stengs scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 6 of 8 times and had 29 successful passes (of 34 total).

A strong away win before that one, visiting PEC Zwolle and winning 2-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Feyenoord have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 5 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.

The manager Slot will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to FC Twente in only four days.

Feyenoord always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Stadion Feijenoord with 19 goals in 5 league games. Feyenoord have only conceded 3 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

It's the second away game in a row for Lazio, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Sassuolo last time out. The 2-0 victory against Sassuolo could easily have been bigger as the victors made a valiant effort at breaking the goal posts, hitting them three times. Midfielder Alberto was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.8. Alberto scored one goal, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.

A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs Atalanta.

Lazio have scored 6 goals on their travels this season, from 5 away games in the league. Lazio's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 8 goals from these trips.
