PSV has a mild advantage in points, which has achieved a perfect performance in the first five rounds, while Ajax played a draw in the first round and they won four times after that. Ajax has celebrated at the opening of the Champions League, in which PSV was defeated. Last season, both teams celebrated with 3-0 at home in their mutual duels.
PSV has played a total of nine games this season, and their first defeat took place in the last match they played. Thus defeat was certainly expected, because they played against Barcelona at Nou Camp and the final score was 4-0. They were coping well with their big opponent in the first part when they only received one goal, but in the second they had no strength.
The fact that they had more players on the field did not help much in the last ten minutes, and they received one goal in that period. Otherwise, at the opening of this season they lost a duel in the Super Cup from Feyenoord, between which they made five championship victories and two in the Champions League qualifiers. In these matches they were a team that mostly filled the net of opponents, and they were particularly efficient in the last round when they defeated Den Haag with 7-0 as guests. On average, they score more than four goals, and their trio Bergwijn, Pereiro and Lozano is definitely the best.
Probable lineups PSV Eindhoven: Zoet – Dumfries, Schwaab, Viergever, Angelino – Hendrix, Rosario – Lozano, Pereiro, Bergwijn – L.de Jong
Ajax has played more games than their big rival, because they had to play even three qualifying rounds in the Champions League and they did not have easy rivals. They were not defeated in these six matches, and they eliminated Sturm, Standard and Dynamo Kiev without major problems. At the very start of the championship they made a blunder and played 1-1 with Heracles, but after that they made four wins without any goals received. They are not as efficient as their host, but they have only received one goal in the championship.
They have opened the Champions League with a home win against AEK with 3-0, so they did not score a goal in this match, and when all is summed up, this is a total of 12 matches this season and no defeats. Definitely very encouraging before this hosting in Eindhoven, where they are coming with fewer problems with injuries. Veltman is out of action, while Huntelaar and de Ligt are questionable, but we expect them to play. Coach ten Hag does not rotate the starting lineup too much and it is clear who will be on the field.
Probable lineups Ajax Amsterdam: Onana – Mazraoui, de Ligt, Blind, Tagliafico – Schone, van de Beek – Ziyech, Neres, Tadic – Huntelaar
PSV is great in attack and they are scoring goals really easily, while Ajax has the best defence but they are also very good in attack, so we predict an efficient match in which it is difficult to predict the winner.
Pick: over 2.5 goals 1.64
