AZ Alkmaar will want to take advantage of this very fact, not least due to their own home form being fairly impressive recently. The home team boast the division’s top goalscorer and he will be confident of adding to his tally on Sunday.

Our AZ Alkmaar vs Feyenoord predictions back the hosts, due to the fact that the visitors are floundering in both the league and Champions League. Therefore, the latest Eredivisie odds hold value when you go against the visitors and back their poor form to continue further.

AZ did lose to Excelsior in their last Eredivisie home game, but the hosts have lost just twice in the Dutch top flight at the AFAS Stadion since late February.

AZ Alkmaar vs Feyenoord Prediction and Betting Advice

The hosts opened up their domestic campaign after the summer with consecutive victories against both ADO Den Haag and NAC Breda respectively, and there is plenty of reason for the fans to remain positive even after their loss to Excelsior last Sunday. The away team are out of form and will be likely a little jaded after travelling to play in Italy midweek.

AZ sit level on points with Feyenoord in the league table, with these two occupying fourth and fifth place. After a bright Eredivisie start, the favourites have struggled to maintain it, with tough European games against the likes of Manchester City and Napoli not helping their cause.

Feyenoord have lost their last two away games, with Napoli and PSV making for a very tough double header. Last time out at Stadio San Paolo, they did manage to find the back of the net, but their goal came in the form of a 93rd-minute consolation.

Our AZ Alkmaar vs Feyenoord bets are influenced by the exception early-season form of Wout Weghorst. The 25-year-old has scored six goals in six league appearances so far this season, which currently puts him at the top of the Eredivisie goalscoring charts in the embryonic stages of the campaign.

The Dutch forward scored a brace in the cup last week against MVV, and previously had scored four goals in his last three league outings. After finishing last campaign in brilliant form, Weghorst has managed to translate that into a strong start to 2017/2018.

Our AZ Alkmaar vs Feyenoord picks back him to continue in the same game, after failing to hit the back of the net against Excelsior last time out. In his last 10 competitive games, Weghorst has scored 10 goals. Given that Feyenoord have been knocked off their stride lately, he should be confident of exploiting some weaknesses.
