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.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Ajax have already won the Eredivisie. Congratulations! It will be interesting to see if this affects performances here at the final stages.
Feyenoord form and stats
30 points is a decent return from 15 Eredivisie games here at Stadion Feijenoord for Feyenoord. The data says 8 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss.
In the match before that, Feyenoord hosted Vitesse and drew the game 0-0.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Feyenoord as they are travelling to their away game against Heracles in the Eredivisie. That match is four days after this one.
The Feyenoord manager D. Advocaat has got the team scoring with 32 from 15 home games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Feyenoord have conceded only 10 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Ajax form and stats
Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Ajax so far, with 12-2-1 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Those are Eredivisie statistics. In general it has been a productive period now for Ajax as they haven't lost any of their last 20 games. Ajax are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played 13 in a row without losing.
257 minutes! That's how long the Ajax goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against AZ Alkmaar.
As mentioned above, Ajax was the only team on the pitch versus FC Emmen in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
A new game in only four days for Ajax, the Eredivisie home match versus VVV-Venlo. Busy days.
Ajax create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 43 goals in 15 travels. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
