PSV Eindhoven

Form: WWWDW

Ruud van Nistelrooy's charges were involved in another interesting match on the road against FC Volendam, and they did what they do best by running out 3:2 winners to bag another three-pointer thanks to goals from Luuk de Jong and Guus Til.

It's been all smiles for their raucous fans, who have had nothing but praise for their team's performance, which has exceeded expectations as they have gone unbeaten in 11 games across all competitions, recording nine wins and two draws. Ruud van Nistelrooy will be hoping that his side can maintain their excellent form.

In addition to their recent performances, their home play at the Philips Stadion has also been commendable. They have accrued more points—37 in their last 14 games from twelve wins, one loss, and one draw—and will be hoping that it'll be enough to outplay Heitinga's team in this match.

They are presently in third place with 62 points, level on points with Ajax Amsterdam in second place, and the goal differential has been the only thing keeping them from reaching second, which they hope will alter as they try for all three points.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Benitez; Teze, Ramalho, Brantwaite, van Aanholt; Til, Gutierrez, Veerman; Bakayoko, de Jong, Simons.

Ajax Amsterdam

Form: WWDLW

The Sons of the Gods are a team that is also very adept at putting on flawless performances; their most recent encounter against FC Emmen was nothing short of impressive from them as they sailed to a 3:1 victory at home, extending their winning run to two games.

With that victory, they have now gone four games without losing in all competitions. During that time, they have achieved three victories and a tie while scoring nine goals and giving up two goals overall. These are statistics they can boast of as they go into this encounter. 

Though their away form does not compare to Ruud Van Nistelrooy's men's form at home, there is no disputing that they have performed well enough to be regarded as a force to be reckoned with, as they have not lost in their previous ten matches, claiming six victories and four draws.

They are now in second place with 62 points, 8 points behind first place, and will want to focus on maintaining their position against a resilient third-place PSV Eindhoven, with whom they are level on points.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Rulli; Sanchez, Timber, Bassey, Wijndal; Klaassen, Grillitsch, Taylor; Berghuis, Tadic, Bergwijn

Expert Betting Tips

PSV Eindhoven will undoubtedly be aiming for all three points in this match, as the only thing preventing them from moving up to second place in the standings at this point is a goal differential. Though this won't be an easy task to accomplish, a convincing performance will be needed from them in either case to avoid a drop in points.

The fact that PSV Eindhoven outperformed them in their own stadium, the Johan Cruijff ArenA, losing 2:1, still stings for the Eredivisie giants Ajax Amsterdam, and they'll be aiming to repay the favor tenfold in this matchup in addition to maintaining their second-place in the standings.

Ajax Amsterdam are up against a PSV Eindhoven side that has delivered flawless performances at home, and their path to victory here will not be easy.
