PSV Eindhoven VS Groningen Match Prediction

PSV have won their last four games against Groningen, so the head-to-head record is pointing firmly in favour of a home win here for the defending champions in this Eredivisie match. Last season, PSV did the double over Groningen without conceding a single goal, winning 2-0 in front of their own fans and going on to pick up a 3-0 victory in the reverse fixture later in the campaign.

PSV v Groningen: Prediction

It is hard to predict anything other than a home win for PSV here given how strong they have looked in the opening weeks of the new Eredivisie campaign, while Groningen have not taken a single point from their three games and are propping up the league table at this early stage. PSV also have a dominant head-to-head record in this fixture and they will be confident of making it four wins out of four this season, extending their winning streak to 10 games in the Eredivisie.

PSV v Groningen: Betting Tips

PSV's price of 3/16 here reflects the fact they are expected to cruise to victory here, with little interest in supporting the visitors even at big odds of 16/1, with the draw offered at 7/1.

The last three times that these teams have met PSV have been able to win without conceding a goal, so PSV to win to nil stands out as a very solid bet a price of evens. Luke de Jong has had a strong start to the campaign and the striker is offered at 1/2 on the any time goalscorer market.

Luke Koopmans is the only injury absentee for PSV, who are looking to extend their 100 per cent start to the new Eredivisie campaign here. Wins over Utrecht, AZ and PEC Zwolle have been completed with the minimum of fuss, with just one goal conceded by the defending champions. PSV ran riot with a 4-0 win at Utrecht last weekend and are likely to be unchanged here.

PSV Eindhoven likely XI:

Groningen battled back from 3-0 down to Twente last weekend but then fell to an injury-time winner, which sums up the start to the season they have had in the Eredivisie. PSV's weekend opponents have not been able to get a single point from their three games and are bottom of the table at this early stage of the season. Coach Ernest Faber is under pressure to turn it around and he could make a few changes in a bid to see improved performances from his team in this game.

Groningen likely XI:

PSV are looking in good shape to defend their Eredivisie title, while Groningen are currently rooted to the bottom of the table and have lost four games in a row. All the signs point to this being very straightforward for PSV, who could pile up another big score after they put four goals past Utrecht last time out. A big home win for PSV.

PSV have won their last nine Eredivisie matches, while Groningen have lost four in a row, with both of these runs dating back to last season.
