PSV vs Ajax Predictions

• PSV’s first six games of the new campaign have averaged 4.83 goals, with BTTS landing in four of the same matches.
• Six of the last eight De Topper fixtures between PSV and Ajax have featured over 2.5 goals.
• Ajax have failed to win either of their first two away assignments of the new Eredivisie season.

Look to goal markets in the first De Topper of the season

PSV’s first continental outing of the campaign didn’t go to plan in midweek when they were shocked at home by an adventurous Union SG outfit in a 3-1 loss in the Champions League.

Tuesday’s fixture in Eindhoven featured two goals in each half and was fully in keeping with the high-scoring pattern of PSV’s matches since the summer.

The Dutch champions have played six times in all competitions since the start of the new season, with an average of 4.83 goals scored across the same games. Their De Topper clash with Ajax on Sunday has the potential to be similarly exciting.

Free-scoring PSV have already scored 17 goals in just five Eredivisie assignments this term, winning four times along the way, though their surprise loss to Telstar (0-2) on August 30^th highlighted some lingering defensive issues.

PSV have conceded at least two goals in each of their last four matches overall and rivals Ajax, who won both editions of De Topper last season, could have weaknesses to exploit in Eindhoven.

Ajax also lost their Champions League opener at home to Inter Milan (0-2) in midweek, though their unbeaten record in the Eredivisie is still intact after five games with new head coach John Heitinga enjoying a positive start on his return to Amsterdam.

De Topper has a history of producing drama and six of the last eight encounters between PSV and Ajax have produced at least three goals. The dip into the goal markets is favoured again ahead of Sunday, with the over 2.5 goals and BTTS combination available to back at a keen price.

With PSV’s defensive lapses a factor, our correct score prediction backs Ajax to secure a point at the Phillips Stadium with a 2-2 draw.
