The league standings reveals that 12 points divide the pair of contenders in this Eredivisie fixture. Feyenoord own both the points- and home stadium advantage.

Insights:
  • Feyenoord have the fewest conceded goals (0) at home in Eredivisie
  • Feyenoord have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Fortuna Sittard have scored away.

Fortuna Sittard could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a KNVB Beker game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at NEC. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
