On April 7th get ready another electrifying chapter in Dutch football history as Feyenoord prepares to clash with arch-rivals Ajax live and exclusive on TrillerTV+ in what promises to be a pulse-pounding Eredivisie showdown!
This season, Feyenoord and Ajax have faced off once, showcasing their prowess on the pitch. Currently, Feyenoord stands tall in the second place, with Ajax chasing closely behind in fifth. It's the perfect setup for a match that's more than just a game — it's a historic rivalry known as "De Klassieker," pitting the pride of Amsterdam against the heart of Rotterdam.
The legacy of De Klassieker is steeped in controversy and passionate play, with their first-ever encounter dating back to October 9, 1921. It was a game that ended amid contention, with Ajax's initial victory restated as a 2-2 draw after Feyenoord contested a controversial goal.
Fast forward to the present, the previous meeting in September, 2023, was an intense affair that had to be paused due to unforeseen disruptions. However, when the dust settled, it was Feyenoord who emerged triumphant with a commanding 4-0 win in a match concluded away from the public gaze.
When it comes to accolades, both teams are titans of Dutch football. Ajax boasts a richer trophy cabinet with 75 pieces of silverware to Feyenoord's 36. Yet, the Rotterdam club holds its own with pride, having lifted the Eredivisie trophy 16 times, against Ajax's 36.
Looking at recent form, in the last five encounters, the scales are balanced with two victories apiece and a single draw — a testament to the fierce competitiveness between these two giants. And within the Eredivisie landscape, Feyenoord's recent form has been impressive, securing four victories and one draw in their last five matches, while Ajax has been less consistent, with one win, three draws, and one loss.
Today's clash is more than just a battle for points; it's a storied rivalry woven into the fabric of Dutch football. So brace yourself for a spectacle of skill, strategy, and the undying spirit of De Klassieker!
