Go Ahead Eagles – PSV

Go Ahead Eagles hosts PSV Eindhoven in the 26th round of the Dutch Eredivisie. The relegation threatened hosts will hope that PSV will be a little relaxed because of their advantage in the standings.

Go Ahead Eagles sits on the 15th place … only two points above the 16th spot, which sends to the relegation playout. The hosts have two consecutive losses against Dordrecht and Alkmaar, allowing two goals each time. Defense could be a problem considering that Go Ahead Eagles allowed 11 goals in the last 3 matches vs. PSV (since they promoted in 2013). Earlier this season it was a 5-0 PSV win. Van der Meer, den Bondt and de Sa will miss from Go Ahead Eagles’ lineup today.

PSV killed the Eredivisie this season … 21 wins in 25 matches, 66 goals scored, only 22 allowed. This young team finally shows its potential and there is no match for them in the Netherlands. But PSV now is having the toughest time they had this season … knocked out by Zenit in the Europa League, where lack of experience was punished 3-0 in the second leg. Than it followed a 1-3 defeat to Ajax at home, so PSV lost the last two games with a score of 1-6 combined. The visitors will probably field the same lineup that lost vs. Ajax: only Jozefzoon and Schaars are missing, probably Rekic as well.

PSV Eindhoven is a couple of levels above Go Ahead Eeagles and after two heartbreaking defeats I am sure they will recover with a big win. They have 11 points in front of Ajax but the motivation will pe particularly high after the last two results. Zenit was simply too tough and experienced and with morale low the Ajax defeat happened, but Ajax is also a very good team. PSV owned GO Ahead recently and with their great attack vs. Go Ahead’s defense, a PSV win by handicap is likely.

At the worst case scenario it seems like we will get our money back, so I am confident of going with very high stakes on the PSV -1 asian handicap bet … that is my tip for today’s clash. Correct score prediction: Go Ahead Eagles – PSV Eindhoven.
