PSV will be hosting Ajax in the Eredivisie this weekend with both sides still in with a chance of winning the league title. Ajax begin the weekend in second place but only on goal difference from their opponents. Both sides are eight points behind leaders Feyenoord with just five games remaining. Only the top two go into the Champions League, so there's a lot at stake in this match. The home team however, haven't tasted defeat in the last 11 matches since their loss to Sevilla in the Europa League in February. Ahead of this game, PSV weathered a few sticky moments to beat Volendam 3-2 away from home. That was their fourth straight win and they have scored at least two goals in each of the wins. All their last four matches have also produced over 2.5 goals and they have won each of their last four matches against Ajax. This will be the third meeting between the two sides this season; PSV have won 2-1 and 5-3 in the first two. With just one clean sheet in five matches, PSV will hope to do better defensively.

Ajax haven't had this fixture going their way in their most recent meetings and here they risk dropping to third in the standings. Finishing third would mean they miss out on Champions League football and that’s what makes this a key game for both sides. Just like PSV, Ajax are unbeaten in their last four matches, but their run has been weaker, with a win lesser and they have also lost once in the last five matches. However, Ajax have two clean sheets in their last four matches, and in four of their last five matches, they have scored two or more goals. That includes their most recent game as well, where they registered a 3-1 win over Emmen. Four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they will heavily bank on their away form as well, coming into this game. Ajax have four wins in five away matches.
