Table-topping Feyenoord aim to extend their perfect start to the season as they welcome struggling Heerenveen to De Kuip on Saturday night.
Form Guide
Robin van Persie’s Feyenoord have made a flawless start, sitting first in the table with nine points from three games. They’ve scored 12 goals in their last five matches, while also keeping two clean sheets—the most in the Eredivisie. At home, they’ve been dominant, winning both fixtures so far this season and each of their last three league games at De Kuip.
Robin Veldman’s Heerenveen, in contrast, are languishing in 17th with only two points. Winless in their last six matches, they’ve conceded in every game this season and have yet to keep a clean sheet in their last six outings. Away form has been particularly poor, with seven straight defeats on the road and just one win from their last 11 away Eredivisie matches. Jacob Trenskow has been their main threat, scoring twice in their opening fixtures.
Head-to-Head History
This will be the 67th Eredivisie meeting between the clubs. Feyenoord hold the advantage with 35 wins to Heerenveen’s 14, along with 17 draws. The Rotterdam giants have dominated recent encounters, winning five of the last six, and are unbeaten in their last nine home league games against Heerenveen.
What to Watch
• Ayase Ueda’s sharpness: Feyenoord’s leading scorer has four goals already this season.
• Heerenveen’s away woes: seven straight defeats underline the challenge facing them at De Kuip.
• Momentum clash: top vs bottom—Feyenoord’s winning run against Heerenveen’s winless streak.
Stat to Know
In their last three Eredivisie matches, Feyenoord have won both at half-time and full-time.
Verdict
All signs point to another comfortable win for Feyenoord. With Ueda in form and Heerenveen struggling badly away from home, the leaders should maintain their 100% record at De Kuip.
