AZ will host PSV in the final round of matches in the Dutch Eredivisie, in a match that has much to play for. Fourth placed AZ will seek to rise one place up as PSV seeks to hold on second. For. Both ambitions, both sides have to avoid defeat. For the hosts, it is much more; they have to win to have any chance of getting into the Europa League slot. A 3-0 away win at NEC placed AZ in a good position for this season finale but they haven't been stable. That win was a good response to their elimination from the Conference League after losing at home to West Ham United. They come into this game with two wins only in the last five, having lost twice. AZ will bank on the great run they’ve had against PSV, winning the last two meetings. They’ve only lost once to PSV in the last seven meetings. Additionally, AZ take to this game a great home run in the league; they’ve only lost once in the last 11.

PSV played to a 3-3 draw with Heerenveen in their last game, failing to seal their Champions League place. It was one dramatic game, hosts PSV scoring first then going down 3-1 before fighting back. They will come here seeking a better performance though they need just a draw to seal second spot. A run of 16 matches without a loss should come with the confidence needed to finish the job. They will however be aware that they are facing a team they’ve struggled against and in a good home form. PSV have three straight away wins in the league but have managed to win just half of the last 10. Even with the great form they’ve had at home this season, AZ managed to beat them. That is their only loss at home in the league this season.
