REF’s picks

Feyenoord bring devastating recent home form into this clash at De Kuip and hold a strong historical edge over AZ Alkmaar. While AZ sit slightly higher in the early standings, Feyenoord's potent attack makes them a reliable pick to secure all three points.

1. 1Feyenoord have scored 12 goals in their last two Eredivisie outings, showing immense attacking fluency.
2. 2AZ Alkmaar have struggled for consistency on the road recently, including a narrow defeat at Sunderland.
3. 3Defensive absences for Feyenoord, such as Thomas Beelen and Gijs Smal, could leave openings for AZ to exploit.
