Ajax have performed better than Feyenoord so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:

This fixture is called De Klassieker (The Classic) and it is the main football rivalry of the Netherlands. The two cities Amsterdam (the home town of Ajax) and Rotterdam (Feyenoord) have been rivals since the 13th century, with differences both in attitude and culture. Traditionally this clash has been seen as being between the artists of Amsterdam/Ajax versus the workers of Rotterdam/Feyenoord. There is always a heavy police presence at the derby.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Ajax form and stats

Ajax, who have the most scored goals (31) in Eredivisie, have collected 12 points from their Eredivisie home games so far after 4-0-0. Ajax has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive games without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Vitesse defeat 84 days ago. Ajax has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Johan Cruijff Arena. We remember; it was FC Emmen.

The Ajax crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Chelsea here at Johan Cruijff Arena in a Champions League match. A strong away win before that one, visiting RKC Waalwijk and winning 2-1.

With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of Ajax is on fire here. A stunning 16 from 4 league matches. Defensively Ajax have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 4 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Feyenoord form and stats

Playing away, Feyenoord have won 1 game, drawn 2 and suffered 1 defeat in the Eredivisie this season.

Feyenoord are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 7 times in 4 away games so far. The Feyenoord manager J. Stam has some worries about the defense as 8 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's 6 Ajax victories, 2 draws and 2 Feyenoord wins. 6 of these games ended with three goals or more, 4 matches with two goals or less.
