Match preview

Feyenoord secured back-to-back wins for the first time this term thanks to a comprehensive 4-0 victory over FC Emmen at De Kuip on Saturday.

Following a relatively uneventful opening half, second-half goals from Quinten Timber, Santiago Gimenez, Jacob Rasmussen and Sebastian Szymanski got the job done for Arne Slot's men.

As it stands, De Stadionclub sit third in the league table with 10 points, two behind Ajax and PSV Eindhoven - the only two teams with an unblemished start to the new campaign.

Lying in store next is the challenge of an opposing outfit who will be keen to avoid a fourth straight defeat in this fixture having lost each of the last three editions by a combined score of 11-0.

Off the back of eight goals scored in their most recent three games on the road, Saturday's visitors set out to put on another attacking clinic away from home.

Go Ahead Eagles' saw their downward spiral continue on Saturday afternoon following a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Sparta Rotterdam.

Rene Hake's men conceded an 18th-minute opener to Tobias Lauritsen and that was enough to condemn them to a ninth straight league defeat dating back to last season.

One of two teams without a point this term, the pride of the IJssel Kowet are bottom but one in the standings, ahead of 18th-placed Fortuna Sittard only on goal difference.

While it is still early days, Saturday's hosts will be eager to kickstart their league campaign to avoid being left too far behind by the teams in and around them.
