PSV were knocked off the top spot in a loss to arch rivals Ajax in their last game and will be looking to get back as soon as possible. They will host AZ Alkmaar, for a chance to actualize this short term target. Going into this game, PSV have managed 46 points, in second place, while fifth placed AZ have 36 points. PSV are coming from a 2-1 loss to Ajax, who are top of the standings; it is this defeat that saw PSV lose their place at the top of the table. This was their first loss in 10 matches, and second in 13, both losses having been inflicted by Ajax. With a run of eight wins in the last 10 matches, PSV should be way stronger than AZ. In eight of their last 10 home matches in Eredivisie, PSV have scored two or more goals.

A draw at home to Cambuur saw AZ miss the chance to go fourth and they will be looking to make amends here. They actually have a good reason to imagine they can sink PSV here; in the last five meetings, PSV have managed just one win and AZ four. Their last meeting, in September 2021, ended 3-0 in favor of PSV, and AZ will be determined to ensure it doesn’t happen again. AZ are unbeaten in their last 14 matches and ahead of this match, they have managed 10 wins in the 11 matches. Away from home, AZ haven’t lost in the last six matches, and in fact, they are coming with four straight away wins.
