PSV is set to host Feyenoord in a highly anticipated Eredivisie clash at the Philips Stadion this Sunday. With a comfortable 14-point lead over their rivals, a victory in this match would bring them one step closer to securing the league title.
However, the defending champions have hit a rough patch recently, failing to secure a win in their last three games across all competitions. Last week, they were held to a 2-2 draw by NAC Breda in the Eredivisie and suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League. Ismael Saibari managed to equalize in the 78th minute, but Harry Kane’s goal gave Bayern the lead once again.
On the other hand, Feyenoord managed a 4-2 victory over Heracles in their last league outing, but their winning streak was halted by a 2-1 loss to Real Betis in the UEFA Europa League. The visitors will be looking to bounce back and secure a crucial victory against the league leaders.
In their head-to-head history, Feyenoord holds a slight advantage over PSV with 69 wins compared to PSV’s 65 in 181 meetings. However, the defending champions have been dominant in recent encounters, winning their last four games against Feyenoord.
PSV’s unbeaten streak in the Eredivisie since September makes them strong favorites in this match. While key players like Myron Boadu, Alassane Pléa, and Ricardo Pepi are nearing full fitness, they are unlikely to feature in this game. Ruben van Bommel remains sidelined due to injury.
Feyenoord, on the other hand, have struggled in recent games, winning only two of their last eight matches. With several key players out due to injury, including Robin van Persie, the visitors will face an uphill battle against the league leaders.
Considering PSV’s recent dominance over Feyenoord and their home advantage, the prediction for this match is a 3-2 victory for PSV. Betting tips include backing PSV to win, over 2.5 goals, both teams to score, and at least one goal in the second half.
In conclusion, PSV is expected to continue their winning streak against Feyenoord and strengthen their position at the top of the Eredivisie table.
