Preview: Ajax vs. PSV – Team news and prediction

PSV is the dominant top team in Eredivisie and looks like a strong contender for the Dutch championship this season. Out of 19 league games, they have won 18 and drawn one, showcasing their dominance. Ajax has turned their season around after a historically poor start. With 11 consecutive games without a defeat, they have climbed from a position below the relegation zone to the fifth place, with only 3 points behind the third place that secures a spot in the next season's Champions League.

Offensively and defensively, PSV is clearly the best in the league statistically, having scored a remarkable 62 goals and conceded only 8. Ajax has also revived their offense, with Brian Brobbey, in particular, finding the back of the net consistently.

Ajax is dealing with a few injuries, with Gaston Avila, Josip Sutalo, Sivert Mannsverk, Mika Godts, and Chuba Akpom unavailable. Brian Brobbey, in excellent form with 9 goals in 6 games across all competitions, could be crucial for Ajax's chances in this match.

PSV expected lineup: 
Benitez; Teze, Ramalho, Boscagli, Dest; Til, Schouten, Lang; Lozano, De Jong, Bakayoko. 

Prediction: 
Ajax is in good form, and these rivalry matches have their own dynamics. If any team can halt PSV's impressive run, it's Ajax. However, on paper, PSV is the stronger team in the league and will be particularly motivated for a victory over their rivals. We believe that quality will be the difference in this encounter, which could easily end with plenty of goals. Therefore, we suggest PSV to win the match at odds 2.00 at Unibet.
