Feyenoord has secured an attacking start to the Eredivisie season, netting 20 goals across their first six league matches under manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst. According to datajournalist Bart Frouws, this scoring run places the Rotterdam club in rare historical company alongside traditional rivals PSV and Ajax as the Dutch competition gains early momentum.
Eredivisie Scoring Trends and Historical Precedents
The traditional Dutch top three have all maintained offensive paces in the opening weeks of the campaign. According to data analysis by Bart Frouws, PSV leads the league with 22 goals in their first six fixtures, followed by Feyenoord with 20 goals and Ajax with 19. AZ currently sits second in the Eredivisie standings with 17 goals.
Historical records show that such a high minimum scoring threshold across the traditional top three is exceptionally rare. According to Frouws’ statistical review, the only comparable start occurred during the 1961/62 season. During that historic campaign, PSV registered 27 goals after six matches, Ajax tallied 25, and Feyenoord recorded 21.
Rotterdam Squad Depth Drives Recent Match Results

Did you know? Feyenoord is currently averaging more than three goals per Eredivisie match, largely thanks to contributions across the entire squad rather than relying on a single talisman.
Crucially, Feyenoord’s early-season success does not rely on a single primary goalscorer. Contributions continue to flow from multiple areas of the pitch, involving midfielders and wingers alike. New addition Nacho Ferri notably marked his presence in Zwolle, showing himself as a finisher within the squad’s rotating tactical setups.
