Their more recent scorelines shine a light on the fact that it has been a great time for the Feyenoord defence. Feyenoord have been miserly, seeing the total number of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their past 6 clashes standing at 2.

Analysis of their past results shows that Feyenoord:

• have not been beaten in the league by FC Groningen in their previous 8 games. A long run without a loss.
• are undefeated in their previous 3 home league matches.
