Feyenoord form and stats

3-1-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Eredivisie numbers at home for Feyenoord so far this season.

A strong away win for Feyenoord against Union Berlin the last match, as C. Dessers and L. Sinisterra were on target. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of A. Slot when C. Dessers scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 64th minute.

In the game before, an away victory in the Eredivisie match versus Sparta Rotterdam with a 1-0 scoreline.

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 three games) they have won one time, drawn two and lost zero.

Feyenoord are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Stadion Feijenoord in their league games, having scored an impressive 12 goals in 4 matches. Feyenoord have conceded 6 from these games.
