Saturday night sees what promises to be a thrilling Eredivisie encounter as Ajax hosts league leaders PSV Eindhoven at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
Ajax in formidable formThe team from the Dutch capital have certainly forgotten about their woeful start to the Eredivisie campaign as they head into this clash on the back of an 11-game unbeaten record, including nine wins and two draws.
The good run has moved Ajax up to fifth place in the table, four points adrift of the European spots.
The home team has been highly prolific in the Dutch top flight, scoring at least two goals in their last 13 Eredivisie outings.
Ajax are also six league games unbeaten at the Johan Cruyff Arena, having recorded five wins and a draw. They have been potent on home soil of late in the Dutch top-flight, scoring at least two goals in eight of their last ten games.
Striker Brian Brobbey has been in particularly good form in home games, scoring five times in his last three Eredivisie appearances at the Arena.
PSV Eindhoven still unbeaten in the EredivisieThe visitors extended their unbeaten run in the Eredivisie this season to 19 games with a 3-1 victory over Almere City last time out. It was Eindhoven’s18th league win this season.
Eindhoven’s recent good form has seen the visitors establish a 12-point lead at the top of the table to second-place Feyenoord.
Like the hosts, PSV have been impressive in attack of late, scoring at least two goals in 18 of their 19 Eredivisie games this season.
PSV are unbeaten in their previous 17 away games in the Dutch top-flight dating back to last season. A 1-1 draw in their last away game in the league at Utrecht ended a 12-game winning run away from home in the Eredivisie.
What am I backing?This game promises to be one of the best games of the season in the Eredivisie. I can see it being highly entertaining and high-scoring, which is why the bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals.
