AFC Ajax Amsterdam vs PSV Prediction and Betting Tips | November 2nd 2024

Ajax will welcome defending champions PSV to the Johan Cruyff Arena (Amsterdam Arena) in a top-of-the-table Eredivisie clash on Saturday. The visitors have a 100% record in the competition while de Godenzonen have won seven of their nine league games.

The hosts extended their winning streak to five games in all competitions on Wednesday, recording a 2-0 away win over Feyenoord. They produced a dominant performance against their arch-rivals, with Kenneth Taylor and Jorrel Hato scoring in the first 25 minutes of the match.

Boeren hosted PEC Zwolle last week and registered a 6-0 win. Ricardo Pepi bagged a brace while Ivan Perišić picked up his first assist of the season in that win. Luuk de Jong came off the bench in the second half and missed from the penalty spot.

AFC Ajax Amsterdam vs PSV Prediction

de Godenzonen head into the match on a 12-game unbeaten streak across all competitions, recording five wins on the trot. They have won their last five home games in all competitions, keeping four clean sheets, and will look to build on that defensive form. They have suffered just four home losses in the Eredivisie in roughly two years, with one of them coming against the visitors.

Kenneth Taylor picked up a calf injury against Feyenoord on Wednesday and is a doubt. Kristian Hlynsson, Gastón Ávila, and Sivert Mannsverk remain sidelined with injuries. Steven Berghuis was an unused substitute against Feyenoord and might get the nod to start.

Boeren have won 16 of their last 17 games in the Eredivisie and have scored at least five goals in six games in that period. They have won just one of their last eight away meetings against the hosts while suffering four losses.

Joey Veerman, Hirving Lozano, Jerdy Schouten, and Sergino Dest remain sidelined with injuries for Peter Bosz. Ivan Perišić did not participate in the initial training sessions and is a doubt. PSV play Girona in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, so Bosz will have to tweak his starting XI here.

Both teams have enjoyed a good run of form and, considering their recent goalscoring form, a high-scoring draw is likely to ensue.
