PSV Eindhoven v Ajax Betting Tips [23 April 2023]

PSV and Ajax look set to battle for second spot in the Dutch Eredivisie, and the two giants will face off in their next league game, hosted by PSV. The two teams are tied on 62 points and only separated by goal difference, which places Ajax second and PSV third. With Feyenoord eight points ahead and five matches to play, the loser here will be out of contention for the title. PSV have beaten Ajax in four straight matches ahead of this, including twice this season and they will carry the feeling of the favorites. PSV are also undefeated in their last 11 matches across all competitions and come into this game with four straight wins. In their last four matches, they have scored two or more goals in each and each of the matches has produced over 2.5 goals. The hosts have one clean sheet only in the last five matches and both teams have scored in four of the five.

Ajax come into this game with the advantage of already being in second place and will be looking to stay there, as their only guarantee of Champions League football is they don’t win the league. It doesn't seem likely any of these two sides will topple Feyenoord but losing here would deal a hammer blow in the race for the Champions League. Ajax have already lost twice to PSV this season and another loss here will be detrimental to their season’s ambitions. They are on three straight wins and are unbeaten in four matches but failed to score in one of their last five games. With just two clean sheets in their last five matches, Ajax will also want to think of their defensive discipline.

Both these sides are coming from good scoring runs and their recent matches have been high scoring as well. PSV have an advantage in the head-to-head records coming into this game but that may not matter here. What could matter is the goals and in this PSV v Ajax game, we predict both sides will score and it will end in over 2.5 goals.
