Prediction: 2-2
Feyenoord
AZ Alkmaar and Feyenoord square off against each other at AFAS Stadion in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Sunday’s program. The hosts have been performing above all expectations this term, and, as a result they are leading the chase for the domestic trophy. AZ are the only undefeated side in the national championship, meaning that they are brimming with confidence ahead of the Eredivisie derby. All Bruno Martins Indi, Hakon Evjen and Vangelis Pavlidis miss out through injuries.
Arne Slots’ men, on the other hand, will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Twente, and are likely to go all guns blazing against the fellow title-chasing side. Anyhow, there is a big value on betting on both teams to score, since both sides have been sharp in front of goal in the first half of the season. Oussama Idrissi should be the only absentee in the away side as he has yet to overcome a hamstring injury.
Highlighted Player (Bruno Martins Indi):
Bruno Martins Indi was born in Portugal, but his family quickly moved to Rotterdam, where he joined Feyenoord’s youth set-up in 2005. Netherlands international has made his professional debut in 2010 with Feyenoord, where he spent four years as mainstay before a move to FC Porto on the back of impressive display at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Bruno Martins Indi spent most of his career playing as centre-back, but he can equally fill in on various positions in defence. Bruno Martins Indi had been deemed a victim to the extreme recolution in Porto’s central defensive department, having fallen out of favour with Nuno Espirito Santo and even being punished with a place in Porto’s reserves.
During the summer transfer window the 24-year-old defender insisted on a move away from the club with Premier League being his preferred destination. On the final day of the transfer marked Bruno Martins Indi has been set to Stoke City on a season long loan.
Highlighted Team (Feyenoord):
Back in 1908 football club Wilhemina was founded in the pub De Vereeniging and they played their home games in blue-sleeved red shirts and white shorts. The club’s name was changed to Hillesluise in 1909 and soon they became RVV Celeritas.
Finally, in 1912 the club got a name SC Feijenoord. Feyenoord won their first Eredivisie trophy in 1924 and 75 years later they clinched their 14th domestic trophy, finishing the season 15 points clear of second-placed Willem II. De Trots van Zuid play their home games at De Kuip and the capacity of the venue is 51 117.
The club’s fiercest rivals are Ajax and the two teams face each other in der Klassieker. The likes of Craig Bellamy, Gerrard Fox, Wouter Bos and Raemon Sluiter are notable supporters of the club. It is well known that football legends Johan Cruyff, Ruud Gullit and Peter Houtman all played for Feyenoord in the past. De Trots van Zuid play their home games in red-white shirts and black shorts.
