Ajax v PSV Eindhoven Betting Tips [24 October 2021]

The biggest match of the Dutch football calendar takes place on Sunday when Ajax host PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie. The home side have been the dominant force in Holland for several years now and lead the league with 22 points from nine games. PSV are hot on their heels, though, with 21 points, in second place. The visitors didn't have the ideal preparation for this gigantic fixture, losing 2-1 at home to Monaco in the Europa League on Thursday. It was the tenth PSV game in a row to feature three or more goals. It was also PSV's third defeat in seven games. They have lost two of their last five away matches. PSV enjoyed a 4-0 win over Ajax in the Dutch Super Cup earlier in the campaign. It will serve as a reminder for the visitors that they can best their rivals as well as motivation for the humiliated losers of that day.

The mention of four-zero would only bring a smile to the faces of Ajax fans now. Only days ago, they handed out a beating by that scoreline to a visiting Borussia Dortmund team in the Champions League. It was a result that made neutrals wonder how this team could go in the competition. Ajax have scored 32 goals in nine Eredivisie games this season - their attacking capabilities were no secret. They have won four of their five Eredivisie home games. They have won four of their previous six home matches against PSV. We suspect they will be chomping at the bit to get one over on their rivals. Back a home win.
