23rd January – 14:30, Philips Stadion, Eindhoven
PSV and Ajax will meet on Sunday afternoon night in the derby match of the Eredivisie 20th round. These two sides are the major title contenders in the Dutch top-flight, and the winner can continue leading the race from the top spot.
PSV vs Ajax Match Preview & Team News
PSV Eindhoven, who won the previous game, will hope for a similar result after the Eredivisie’s 1:0 victory against Groningen. Mario Gotze scored the winning goal in the early phase of the match, and PSV managed to keep their advantage intact until the end of the game. During the previous six clashes, Roger Schmidt’s PSV Eindhoven scored a total of 11 goals, which is an average of 1.83 goals per contest. Cody Gakpo is in excellent form after scoring six and assisting for nine goals, and many big clubs are already offering large sums of money to sign this guy. He also made his debut in the Dutch national team. Roger Schmidt has a few worries ahead of the derby. Noni Madueke (Muscle Injury), André Ramalho (Ankle Surgery), Ryan Thomas (Knee Injury), and Eran Zahavi (Knee Injury) will be out of selection.
Ajax will enter the match after a 3:0 victory in the latest Eredivisie round against Utrecht. The visitors sit in 2nd place, being one point behind their upcoming rivals. Dusan Tadic and the lads have been lethal for the oppositions’ goalkeepers this season, netting 59 times during the campaign. On the other hand, their rock-solid defense allowed only four goals on 19 occasions. Ajax has been pretty confident on the road this season, as they have allowed only two points to their hosts. However, Erik ten Haag has to deal with the absence of Ajax’s top scorer, as Sebastian Haller is out at the Ivory Coast squad at AFCON 2022.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is going to be a very close game, and both sides have the chance to pick up all three points. Although they will be without their best scorer, Ajax is still a very dangerous opponent. We believe the visitors will climb to the top of the table, and Dusan Tadic and the lads should lead them to the victory.
Goals Market Prediction
Their head-to-head clashes have usually been very entertaining, and just one of the last five stayed under a 2.5 margin. Both teams have significant attacking potential, and neither side should keep the clean sheet.
