The Eredivisie match between PSV Eindhoven and Ajax will take place at Philips Stadion on Sunday at 7:00 pm IST.
Never before in the rich history of one of Dutch football’s most renowned rivalries have the fortunes of both teams appeared so different as they do in anticipation of Sunday’s clash between bitter rivals PSV Eindhoven and Ajax at Philips Stadium. The hosts have been solid in their domestic campaign this season, leading the Eredivisie with a flawless 100% record. In contrast, Ajax is experiencing the worst form in their entire history, surprisingly finding themselves in the relegation zone after seven games.
PSV Eindhoven continues their quest for their first Eredivisie title in seven years, as Peter Bosz’s squad is the sole team in the league with an 100% record in the first quarter of the season, having won all nine of their matches. Their slightly lackluster European form is overshadowed by their domestic dominance. PSV Eindhoven has scored three or more goals in their last eight consecutive matches, both at home and away. They have also displayed impressive defensive skills, conceding just three goals in nine Eredivisie games this season, including only two at home.
Ajax, on the other hand, has had little to be pleased about this season. The 36-time Eredivisie champions are facing their worst start to a season in the club’s history and currently sit in 17th place in the standings, just one point ahead of the bottom-placed Volendam. Ajax suffered fourth successive league defeat, during which they conceded 13 goals. They are now winless in six domestic games since their 4-1 victory over Heracles, which occurred two-and-a-half months ago. In all competitions, Ajax is now winless in nine matches since their Europa League qualifying win over Ludogorets on August 24, marking their longest winless streak in 70 years.
PSV Eindhoven’s probable starting lineup: Benitez, Teze, Ramalho, Boscagli, Dest, Tillman, Schouten, Veerman, Bakayoko, Lozano, de Jong
Ajax’s probable starting lineup: Ramaj, Gaaei, Sutalo, Hato, Sosa, Berghuis, Tahirovic, Taylor, Bergwijn, Borges, Brobbey
