On Sunday afternoon, the top two teams in the Eredivisie, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord, clash at the Philips Stadion in a game that could be pivotal in the race for the Dutch top-flight title.
A big win last time out for PSVLast time out in the Eredivisie, PSV Eindhoven recorded a 7-1 win at Zwolle. The game saw veteran striker Luuk de Jong score a hat-trick to take his Eredivisie goal tally to 22 goals this season.
The result made PSV 33 games unbeaten in the Dutch top flight, dating back to last season. It also saw a third straight league victory for the home team.
PSV’s good form has them top of the table, ten points clear of Sunday’s second-place opponents.
Peter Bosz’s team has been prolific of late in the Eredivisie, scoring at least two goals in four of their last five league matches.
PSV have been strong on home soil in the Eredivisie lately, winning their last 11 home games while scoring at least two goals in each victory.
Feyenoord record a midweek KNVB Beker winThe visitors recorded a 2-1 midweek win over Groningen to book their place in the competition’s final.
Feyenoord aren’t just thriving in the KNVB Beker, though, as they are nine games unbeaten in the Dutch top-flight, recording seven wins and two draws.
Arne Slot’s team have built their excellent recent league form on a solid defensive foundation, as they have kept five straight clean sheets in the Eredivisie.
They have also been impressive at the other end of the pitch, scoring at least two goals in six of their last nine games in the Dutch top flight.
The visitors have been superb travellers in the Eredivisie lately, winning nine of their last ten away games in the Dutch top-flight. Feyenoord have also been highly prolific away from home, scoring at least two goals in 16 of their previous 18 outings.
What am I backing?This could be a decisive game in the race for the Dutch top-flight title. I believe this will be a high-scoring encounter, so the bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals scored.
