Feyenoord form and stats
Feyenoord have performed here at Stadion Feijenoord this season with 8 wins from 14 Eredivisie matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 5 games and lost 1.
A strong away win for Feyenoord against FC Utrecht the last match, as Steven Berghuis were on target. Before that, Feyenoord had a home game versus Fortuna Sittard which ended with a victory 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 four games) they have won zero times, drawn three and lost one.
The Feyenoord manager D. Advocaat has got the team scoring with 32 from 14 home games in the league. 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.
Vitesse form and stats
Playing away, Vitesse have won 7 games, drawn 1 and suffered 6 defeats in the Eredivisie this season. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Vitesse are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Vitesse, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Ajax (placed 1st). Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs ADO Den Haag.
It's a bit worrying for Vitesse that their goalkeeper Remko Pasveer made eight saves in the Ajax game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss. Vitesse were so close to getting something from the game against Ajax, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal one minutes into overtime.
We have checked recent matches where Vitesse have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were zero victories, one draw and four defeats.
The travelling fans enjoy Vitesse's attacking play in away games, having scored 23 goals in 14 league matches away. 20 goals have been conceded by Vitesse in these games.
