Their last 10 games show 5 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss, with 15 goals for and 11 against. They average 1.50 goals per game overall, but that home attack is firing on all cylinders.
AZ Alkmaar, on the other hand, are struggling on the road. Their last 5 away games yield only a 25% win rate, scoring just 1.00 goals per game and conceding 1.50. Their overall last 10 games show 5 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses, but that away form is the real story. They average 2.20 goals scored overall, but that drops to 1.00 on the road.

Statistically, Feyenoord control the ball (55.6% home possession) and generate 18.20 shots per home game, with 7.20 on target. AZ manage 16.00 shots away, but only 4.75 on target.
