Seven of the Best for Feyenoord
Feyenoord are unbeaten in the Eredivisie, winning all four games on the road. Both home matches ended in 2-2 draws, against Go Ahead Eagles and De Haag.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s were taught a lesson in the Champions League, suffering a heavy 5-1 defeat at Barcelona. They had 0.53-2.10 xG in Spain, a decent effort against a side in incredible form.
The Rotterdam club are coming off an impressive 7-0 win at Zwolle. Nacho Ferri hit a hat-trick and Anis Hadj Moussa bagged two goals in the second half, right-back Givairo Read registering three assists.
Defensive Woes at Utrecht
Utrecht failed to win in their opening five matches, conceding an alarming 18 goals in the process. The run included two heavy home defeats, 4-1 against AZ Alkmaar and 6-1 against PSV.
Anthony Correia kept his job but it was surely in jeopardy after trailing Go Ahead Eagles 3-0 at home. Angry supporters saw the game postponed, the players returning two days later to earn a 3-3 draw.
Utrecht picked up their first win at Excelsior. Dani de Wit scored in added time to secure a 2-1 victory, lifting the club out of the relegation zone.
