Let's have a look at the latest Netherlands Eredivisie predictions between PSV Eindhoven vs Cambuur, probable lineups, match facts and up to date betting odds for you to consider!

PSV Eindhoven

Form: WWDWD

PSV Eindhoven walked out of the Mandemakers Stadion in their recent match against RKC Waalwijk with their heads held high as they recorded a 1:0 triumph courtesy of Johan Bakayoko's goal in the first half, which was more than enough for them to hold on for the remainder of the game.

Previous to that, they cruised to a 3:1 triumph against second-tier ADO Den Haag at home in the quarterfinals of the Dutch Cup courtesy of first-half goals from Johan Bakayok and Guus Til, and Ibrahim Sangaré's goal in the second half was the final nail in the coffin, which has seen them book an appointment with third-tier SV Spakenburg in the semi-finals and have already foreseen an easy advancement to the finals. 

With the most number of goals scored than any team at home in the Eredivisie (37 goals), the reigning champions are the only side following close behind with 34, and that goes to show that they have been a force to be reckoned with in their own right. The Red and whites have so far recorded 4 wins and a draw in their last five home games.

Slowly pushing for the right moment to enter the top three in which they find themselves one point adrift of, it goes without saying they'll be aiming for all three points in this clash as a drop in points won't be tolerated at such a crucial stage. They currently occupy fourth place with 49 points.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Drommel; Van Aanholt, Branthwaite, Ramalho, Mwene; Sangare, Veerman, Simons; Bakayoko, Silva, El Ghazi

Cambuur

Form: WLLDL

Despite being snubbed out as the worst team in the Eredivisie due to their erratic play, Sjors Ultee's men pulled off one of the most sensational performances in their most recent match at home against Go Ahead Eagles to record an emphatic 4:1 triumph.

With Sjors Ultee looking for a reply from his side, it's without doubt they delivered on that request with outmost diligence following their narrow 2:1 defeat against AZ Alkmaar on the road, which added to their misery and produced another depressing outcome.

In their last six matches, they've fallen short of expectations as they've only recorded one win while recording four losses and a draw for a total of 4 points, results that have however left them despondent due to a subpar performance.

It stands to reason that the Sjors Ultee's side have had their fair share of an abysmal season, something that they'll want to steer clear of as fast as possible as to avoid being relegated at the conclusion of the season. They currently occupy 18th place with 16 points.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Ruiter; Schmidt, Bergsma, Smand, Van Wermeskerken; Van Kaam, Paulissen, Foor; Breij, Johnsen, Mahi
