PSV vs HFC: Dutch Cup match prediction
PSV and HFC will play in the 1/16 finals of the Dutch Cup. The visitors have already overcome two stages of the competition, but will they be able to resist the current Eredivisie champion and Champions League participant? Will PSV win a big victory on December 17 against the Second Division representative? The answer is in our forecast for this match.
Command Analysis
PSV Eindhoven
NetherlandsCurrent form
PSV Eindhoven is trying to retain its Dutch title and so far so good. The team is in first place in the Eredivisie standings and is six points ahead of its closest competitors Ajax and Utrecht. The hosts are also playing in the Champions League, where they have already managed to win two games. Peter Bosz men beat Girona (4:0) and Shakhtar (3:2), and also managed to score points in matches with PSG (1:1) and Sporting Lisbon (1:1). On December 11, the team suffered an unexpected away defeat to Brest (0:1), and then lost to Heerenveen (0:1) in the domestic championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the squad before the cup match
Interesting trends for betting
- None of the hosts' last ten matches have ended in a draw
- The team lost its last two matches
Probable line-up: Benitez - Karsdorp, Flamingo, Boscagli, Dams - Tillman, Mauro Junior, Til - Bakayoko, de Jong, Drieuch.
Koninklijke HFC
NetherlandsCurrent form
HFC plays only in the Second Division, which is amateur. The team does not even have a theoretical opportunity to reach a higher level, but even in their league, the guests are only in the middle of the table. The club from Haarlem is only in ninth place, having 24 points after 17 matches. The guests are unlikely to be relegated, because they have already managed to break away from the transitional matches zone by 12 points. The team has already performed quite successfully in the national cup. In the last round, they managed to create a sensation and win over Emmen (1:0) from the First League.
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors have no problems with their lineup before the cup match
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not left the field without scoring a goal in the last 10 matches
- The club has won only one of its last six away matches.

2.75Tip and bets
The hosts will probably rotate their squad after unsuccessful matches in the Champions League and Eredivisie, but this should not prevent them from beating HFC, which is much lower in status. The visitors will certainly be happy to test themselves in a duel with the current champions of the country, but it is unlikely that the amateurs will be able to put up any resistance. We expect a big victory from the club from Eindhoven.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (-3.5) on PSV for 1.85
Bet on total
The hosts failed to score in the last two matches, but will surely get plenty of revenge against the underdog. It is worth noting that even in unsuccessful matches, the guests usually do not leave the field without scoring a goal, so there will be a chance for a consolation goal.
Our prediction is total over 4.5 goals for 2.00
Bet on the first half
Most likely, the favorite will attack from the very first seconds and will hardly remain without goals scored in the first half of the match. We do not think that the visitors will be able to hold back the onslaught of the hosts for 45 minutes.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on PSV in the first half for 1.85
