PSV host AZ Alkmaar at the Phillips Stadion, with the Eindhoven side looking to cement their lead at the summit of the Eredivisie table before the World Cup break. Ruud Van Nistelrooy and his squad are on an insane high at the moment. Fresh from a huge triumph on Sunday, his PSV side are currently top of the league and in the midst of a four game winning run which has included victories over Arsenal and Ajax as well as just two goals conceded. The hosts have also proven to be unbeatable on home turf, having prevailed in each of their last six at the Phillips Stadion and scoring twenty-one goals in the process. 

AZ Alkmaar might have fallen below the impressive standards they set at the beginning of the campaign, yet they are currently sat fifth and just four points off top spot, in what looks to be a thrilling Eredivisie title clash this season. They did concede defeat at the weekend however, with their 3-1 loss to Waalwijk interrupting a three game winning streak. They have also faltered in recent away games, losing three of their last four, especially after winning each of the seven before that poor run. The standard when both teams are facing off seems to be the presence of goals. AZ have seen Over 2.5 five of their last six away games, while their Eindhoven based adversaries have seen four of their last five at home exceed the Over 2.5 line.
