Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
There will be fireworks when PSV and Feyenoord face each other in the Eredivisie derby on Sunday afternoon. PSV are sitting in the 3rd position, but will surely try to overtake the reigning champions Ajax in top position. Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s charges have been sensational in front of the opposition goal this term, with the team scoring 24 goals in the process, and as a result, the bookies see them as favourites to win the match. Fredrik Oppegård, Luuk de Jong, Mauro Junior and Olivier Boscagli are unlikely to recover in time for the game, while both Marco van Ginkel and Noni Madueke are out of contention through injuries.
Feyenoord, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run, scoring impressive twelve goals in the process. Since both teams are eager to win this clash and move closer to the top of the table, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Both Sebastian Szymański and Ofir Marciano remain the recovery room, whlist Lutsharel Geertruida will probably miss the match due to illness.
