PSV vs Willem II Predictions

• Willem II beat PSV 2-1 when the pair met back in November.
• PSV haven’t won since returning from the winter break.
• Willem II are unbeaten in their last 9 league games.
• Willem II have only lost 3 of their 10 away games this season.

Willem II sit 4pts above PSV in the Eredivisie table

PSV lost 1-0 away at their arch-rivals Ajax last weekend and have now failed to win any of their last four competitive matches, while Willem II secured a 1-0 win at home against Heracles to move 4pts clear of PSV in the Eredivisie table. The visitors have already beaten PSV once this season when the pair met back in November for their reverse league fixture, and the way the two sides are playing at this moment in time suggests that Willem II could get the domestic double over PSV this weekend.

The home side haven’t scored more than one goal in any of their last four matches in league and cup while Willem II have scored at least two goals in each of their last five away games. PSV still have a strong home record, having only lost once and drawn twice in their own backyard, but Willem II have only lost three of their ten away games.

Willem II score an average of 1.80 goals per away game and concede an average of 1.60 goals, which is why we have backed the visitors to claim a 2-1 win this weekend. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 80% of PSV’s home games and 60% of Willem II’s away matches, while both teams have scored in 70% of the hosts’ home games and 60% of Willem II’s away trips, which adds further weight to our prediction for a 2-1 final scoreline.

The home side are yet to win in 2020

Despite a poor season by their own high standards, PSV have only failed to score in 10% of their home games but have also only kept clean sheets in 20% of those matches, while Willem II have only failed to score in 20% of their away games and will be confident of coming home with at least a point this weekend.

A majority of Willem II’s wins this season (8) have been obtained with a 1-goal margin, while PSV have lost via a single goal on two occasions so far. While we have backed a 2-1 away win this weekend, we are more than wary of the hosts’ threat in their own backyard and believe the double chance bet covers us if PSV hold out for a draw. The hosts don’t drop many points at home but are in poor form right now and go up against a Willem II side that doesn’t lose very often on the road.

We’re confident that a double chance bet on the visitors is the best way to go this weekend and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. Willem II are playing some really good football this season and beat 2nd placed AZ 3-1 in their last away game, so will be confident heading into Saturday’s clash against a PSV side that are yet to win this year.
