PSV Eindhoven

Netherlands

Current form

Before the start of the season, PSV was considered a clear contender for the championship title and significantly outscored all opponents in terms of player selection – so far, Peter Bosz’s team has justified this status. The red-and-whites started very strongly and quickly broke away from their pursuers, but recently they have made a number of mistakes and brought back the intrigue in the championship race. With 46 points, PSV leads the table, but is only four points behind Ajax, with Utrecht seven points behind. Having drawn 2:2 with PSV in the last round, the red-and-whites lost points for the second time in the last three championship games.

Tip and bets

1.65both will score

PSV, after a series of failures, has an excellent opportunity to start a new winning streak today – their opponents are modest Excelsior. It is unlikely that the hosts' coach will make too large a rotation, a victory in the Cup is clearly in the plans of the red-whites, who will certainly go ahead of the big forces right away. It is obvious that Excelsior has practically no chance to play reliably at Philips, but at the same time there is nothing much to lose, they will probably take risks – PSV regularly concede and a goal from the guests will not be a big sensation.

We believe that there will be goals in the match. Prediction - both will score . This bet is offered for 1.65

Bet on the outcome

PSV is the undisputed favorite of the match - even with a large rotation, there is a gap in class between the teams. It is obvious that the red-whites will strive to resolve everything quickly and are unlikely to stop with a minimal advantage, there is clearly a desire to rehabilitate themselves for the recent failures. Excelsior is in good shape, but there is simply nothing to oppose such a powerful opponent - the guests will most likely face their 12th defeat in a row from PSV, and it will definitely be a big one.

Bet - Asian handicap (-2.5) on PSV. This bet is offered for 1.89

Bet on corners
