Team News
Giovanni van Bronckhorst has a long list of unavailable players, including Bart Nieuwkoop, Gijs Smal, Jakub Moder, Gonçalo Borges, Shaqueel van Persie, Thomas Beelen, Tsuyoshi Watanabe, Anis Hadj Moussa and Jordan Bos.
Tjark Ernst is set to line up behind Givairo Read, Jeremiah St. Juste, Thijs Kraaijeveld and Mika Mármol. With Watanabe out, the defensive options are further limited, which means St. Juste will have extra responsibility to organise a reshaped back four.
Zechiël, who has netted five times and provided three assists in seven league outings, is likely to be aided by Oussama Targhalline and Charles Vanhoutte. His timing when arriving late in the penalty box continues to be a key attacking asset for Feyenoord.
Gaoussou Diarra and Luciano Valente are expected to flank Nacho Ferri in the front three. The absence of Hadj Moussa means Feyenoord will miss his direct dribbling threat, but their average of 22.3 shots per game shows how well Van Bronckhorst’s system distributes attacking responsibility.
Lee-Roy Echteld has a much healthier squad to pick from, with Stije Resink the only confirmed absentee as he continues his recovery from a cruciate ligament injury.
Jari De Busser is set to continue in goal behind Elijah Dijkstra, Wouter Goes, Lewis Schouten and Mateo Chávez. AZ’s three clean sheets are joint-best in the division, and that defensive organisation will be put to the test against the league’s top-scoring team.
Dave Kwakman and Peer Koopmeiners are expected to form the double pivot, giving Valdemar Byskov a base to operate from between the lines. Their ability to fend off Feyenoord’s press could be key to whether AZ can control the slower, more measured tempo they favour.
Calvin Stengs and Daal are set to provide the width around Meerdink, who scored the winner against Telstar. Daal leads AZ with four goals, while Chávez has provided three assists and created a team-high three big chances from left-back.
Odds
Feyenoord Win: 1.8
DRAW: 4.2
