Feyenoord have continued last season's good run in the Eredivisie. The Rotterdammers are top of the table and are the only ones yet to lose a point. Coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst's team's self-confidence will have been shaken on Wednesday, however. Manchester City were too strong 4-0 in Feyenoord's first UEFA Champions League match in 15 years.
Sharp start
In the league, Feyenoord is the most scoring team of this still early season. The leaders have already netted 12 times. Van Bronckhorst often knows how to get his team out of the dressing room sharp. Nine of the goals were scored in the first half. Together with Vitesse, Feyenoord also scores most often from standard situations: five times already. PSV managed that three times.
Jørgensen missing
Scoring may come easily to the team, but in the first topper of the season the team is missing its first striker Nicolai Jørgensen. Last season's top scorer has not yet recovered from a hamstring injury suffered against Heracles Almelo. Steven Berghuis takes over the role of top marksman for the time being. The right-winger has already scored four league goals so far.
Threat
Jean-Paul Boëtius and Eric Botteghin should also be watched. With three goals and two assists, Boëtius is at the top of the most valuable player rankings. That the winger is dangerous is also shown by the fact that, of all the premier league players, he has to endure the most fouls. Fifteen of them.
Botteghin signed the only goal of the match in the previous edition of PSV - Feyenoord. In addition, he is the only player in the selection who scored more than one league goal against PSV. You can view the full selection here.
