On Sunday night, Eredivisie leaders PSV Eindhoven face a potentially tough test as FC Twente visits the Philips Stadion.
PSV looking to bounce back from Champions League exitThe home team suffered a 2-0 midweek defeat against Dortmund in the Champions League to exit the competition.
The defeat ended an eight-game unbeaten run in all competitions for PSV. However, Peter Bosz’s team are still unbeaten in the Eredivisie this season. In fact, the home team haven’t lost in their last 41 league games in the Dutch top flight dating back to January 2023.
PSV’s good form has seen them establish a ten-point lead over second-place Feyenoord at the top of the table.
Their recent home record in the Eredivisie is formidable, as they are unbeaten in their last 22 league games at the Philips Stadion.
PSV has been lethal in front of goal on home soil in the Dutch top-flight, scoring at least two goals in each of their last 20 home games.
Twente are in red-hot formThe visitors are enjoying an excellent season. They are currently in third place in the Eredivisie, seven points clear of fourth-place AZ Alkmaar.
A 2-1 home win over Sparta Rotterdam means Joseph Oosting’s team has won five of their last six games in the Eredivisie.
The key to the recent stellar league form has been their attacking prowess, having scored at least two goals in all five of their recent Eredivisie wins.
Twente are unbeaten in their last three away games in the Eredivisie, having recorded back-to-back league wins on their travels.
The visitors have been prolific on the road in the Eredivisie, having scored at least two goals in six of their last nine away games.
What am I backing?This game could be a big test for PSV, as Twente have been excellent lately. It should be an entertaining game, and I am backing the home to win by a narrow margin.
