Prediction: 0-3
PSV
Saturday’s football game at Yanmar Stadion pits together Almere City and PSV, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the 2024/2025 Eredivisie campaign. Almere’s main goal is to secure yet another top flight survival, while PSV are on a quest to defend their trophy. As the hosts failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to AZ Alkmaar and Fortuna Sittard, home win should not be considered. Both Ricardo Visus and Baptiste Guillaume are banned for the home side.
The reigning champions, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in back-to-back wins over RKC (5-1) and Heracles (3-1), which is yet another reason why we are going to place our bets on the away team. In their last meeting at the venue PSV crushed Almere City 4-0, which goes in favour of our prediction. All Ismael Saibari, Armando Obispo, and Mauro Junior are sidelined with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Luuk de Jong):
The 26-year-old Dutch striker Luuk de Jong is considered one of Europe’s deadliest strikers with his incredible return of goals in games he spends playing. Luuk de Jong began his football career at De Graafschap in 2008, but moved on to Twente only a year later.
The tally of 39 goals in 76 league appearances earned him a transfer to Borussia Monchengladbach, but his spell in Germany ended in disappointment. Bundesliga club attempted to revive his career by sending him out on loan to Newcastle United but his stint with the English club yielded even more disappointment and concluded in utter disaster with De Jong playing 12 games without scoring a single goal for the Magpies.
A return to Netherlands and PSV Eindhoven turned out to be a proper hit for the 26-year-old striker who has restored his scoring touch with more than 50 goals for the Boeren after less than 90 games.
Highlighted Team (PSV):
Based in Eindhoven, Netherlands, PSV is a professional football club competing the top flight of the Dutch football, Eredivisie. PSV play their home games at the Phillips Stadium which can accommodate 35,000 people. Over the course of its 100-year-old history, PSV has become one of the country’s Big Three clubs that has dominated Eredivisie along with Ajax and Feyenoord.
Known as a stepping stone for future world-class stars, PSV propelled the likes of Ruud Gullit, Ronald Koeman, Romario, Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistelrooy and most recently Arjen Robben. The Boeren (Peasants) as they call themselves take pride in Eindhoven’s status of being a provincial city and never hide their Brabantian heritage which allow them to enjoy their uniqueness in the company of more prominent clubs from Dutch big cities.
The Peasants boast 23 domestic league titles and 9 KNVB Cup trophies. They have also managed two major European titles – European Cup in 1987-88 and UEFA Cup in 1977-78.
