It’s interesting Den Haag has had great results against Feyenoord in their history. In the last decade, they suffered just one defeated against them at home, last year by 3:2. It’s clear they’re not afraid of their rival and always play very motivated and hard against them. They are a poor side, so they will be fighting hard to avoid relegation this season. They’re pretty unpredictable sometimes, and that’s why they can’t be written off before this game. They regularly score goals at home, while they usually concede twice as much. They’re not without chances today and have reasons to be optimistic.
No title again
Feyenoord started solid this season but very soon a question popped out whether they might be able to enter the title race or not. Very quickly a drop in form had followed so they had to get back to reality, which says they don’t have the strength to deal with PSV and Ajax, while they clearly can’t even keep up with Twente, who’s the leading side in the standings at the moment but isn’t given many chances of taking the title. Feye has been winless in the past 3 matches, but it should be noted they played some very hard games, taking a point each against Alkmaar and Utrecht, while they convincingly lost to Ajax (5:1). A game with Den Haag will be much easier than the previous ones, so Feye has a lot of chances of taking all 3 points, which is the only goal their coach will set for his players before this match.
Both team will score
These two rivals’ games usually end up with the high amount of goals scored, while very rarely happens the over 2.5 doesn’t come in. One other thing is very interesting, and that is the fact that both sides usually score goals against each other, so whoever wants to win usually needs to score at least two, and not concede more than once. I believe the tradition will continue and both sides will score enough goals for the over 2.5 to be the winner.
