Van der Gijp believes that Feyenoord's poor start to the previous season, where they lost many points at home, will not be repeated this time around. He expects a thrilling title race, but has already written off one team from the competition.
PSV, Feyenoord, and Ajax will not lose points against Sparta, Excelsior, ADO, and Cambuur, Van der Gijp is convinced. He thinks that Feyenoord will not make the same mistakes as last season, where they lost many points at home.
AZ does not participate in the title race this season, according to Van der Gijp. He believes that there is too little pressure in Alkmaar, and that the difference between the traditional top three and AZ is still too great.
