Feyenoord vs PSV Eindhoven Betting Tips and Odds

Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:

Feyenoord are at 23/20 to win, a draw is at 12/5, and a PSV win is at 23/10.

Feyenoord will begin this, the 25th round of the Eredivisie, in fourth place. They remain very inconsistent, to say the least, but they have won three of their last five matches to get themselves to 42 points. They are currently a point ahead of Utrecht behind them, and they are still a full eight behind third placed AZ as they look to catch up to them and take the automatic place in the Europa League from them.

PSV will enter the weekend still in first place, and by a decent margin, but they will be just five points ahead as opposed to seven when this weekend kicks off after they drew last weekend. They had won the four matches prior, but the draw has now allowed Ajax to close up to them a little, putting real pressure on the Eindhoven side for the first time in a while.

At home, Feyenoord have picked up 24 points in 12 matches so far. They have only lost twice, while winning seven times, but they have been on a tear of late with four wins in a row ahead of this match. They also have 13 points from their last five home outings, showing they are much, much better at home than on the road. As for PSV's away record, they have taken an impressive 28 points from 12 matches to lead the way in the division thus far. They have only dropped points three times away- with two of them being losses. But they have won three straight away and have ten points from their last four games.

Both teams to score is at 8/13 via Ladbrokes.

Feyenoord vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction

Feyenoord have been far from the same side that we saw last season in truth, but they remain one of the most dangerous teams in all of Holland. That puts PSV in serious jeopardy here, and a loss could be catastrophic for their hopes.

Correct Score Prediction: Feyenoord 2-1 PSV

 

Team News

Giovanni van Bronckhorst will be missing center backs Jeremiah St. Juste and Mats Knoester, left back Ridgeciano Haps, and winger Sam Larsson due to injuries. Also set to miss out is winger Bilal Basacikoglu due to suspension.

Key Man

It took a little bit of time for him to settle in and get back into the swing of things, but Robin van Persie looks settled now and is ready to push on and help his side back up the table now. The legendary Dutch international striker has been deployed in the attacking midfield role in recent times, and it paid off last weekend as his goal led them to victory. It was his second in three matches, showing he is in good form currently.

Team Form

Feyenoord have three wins and a two losses in their last five matches:

1-0 home win vs Heracles
3-1 loss at Vitesse
3-0 home win vs Groningen
1-0 loss at VVV
2-0 home win vs PSV (Dutch Cup)

Feyenoord Predicted Starting line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-3-3

Team News

Phillip Cocu will be unable to call upon goalkeeper Luuk Koopmans, center midfielder Marco van Ginkel, and forward Max Romero due to injury problems. Key winger Hirving Lozano will miss out after getting red carded last weekend.

Key Man

After the red card to Lozano last weekend, PSV squandered a two goal lead and two big points in the Eredivisie. They can ill afford to slip up here, and they will need a swift response. They failed to breach Feyenoord's back line in the cup meeting in December and haven't scored on them since the second minute in the September league match. That goal came through Uruguayan prospect Gaston Pereiro, and he could come back into the team and away from the periphery again for this match.

Team Form

PSV have a draw, three wins, and a loss in their last five matches:

2-2 home draw vs Heerenveen
1-2 win at Sparta Rotterdam
1-0 home win vs Excelsior
4-0 home win vs PEC
2-0 loss at Feyenoord (Dutch Cup)

PSV Eindhoven Predicted Starting line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-3-3

After dropping two points last weekend, PSV have really put themselves under the gun here as they prepare to face the defending champions yet again. The last time they made this trek, they ended up losing in the cup. That wasn't all that long ago, and they could very easily be just two points ahead of Ajax in the title race after this affair.
Feyenoord have won six in a row at home and have not lost any of their last 12 matches (10W, 2D).
