AZ Alkmaar
PSV Eindhoven
Contents
- Competition: Eredivisie
- Date: 17th December 2023
- Kickoff: 19:00 UTC / 20:00 CET
- Venue: AFAS Stadion
On Sunday evening, PSV will be aiming to uphold their unblemished record in the Dutch top flight as they face AZ Alkmaar in an away game.
The hosts’ season this year mirrors their previous one. Currently, Pascal Jansen’s team is holding third place, separated from fourth place &— their rank in the 2022-23 season &— by mere goal difference. Last seen in Conference League action against Legia Warszawa in Poland for their final Group E match, the Cheese Farmers faced elimination from Europe. Their attention must now shift to the domestic season.
Meanwhile, PSV has been observing Ajax (4) and Feyenoord seize the last five Eredivisie titles, but this might alter this season. Peter Bosz’s squad is the only team in this division to maintain a perfect record after 15 games and is leading the reigning champions Feyenoord by ten points at the top of the leaderboard. The Red and Whites secured a critical point against Arsenal in their previous European match, ensuring their spot in the Champions League knockout stage, a momentum they intend to carry into this weekend’s game.
AZ Alkmaar vs PSV Betting Tips: PSV to win
AZ Almaar, one of the title contenders in this division, has recently been struggling with their form. Jansen’s team has only secured a single victory in their last four matches across all competitions, while also letting in six goals.
Currently, PSV Eindhoven is simply invincible. Not only have the Red and Whites triumphed in all fifteen games until now, but they have also averaged three goals per game and maintained ten clean sheets. In addition, Bosz’s team boasts a respectable record against AZ on their turf, having secured victories in their last two trips to Alkmaar.
