Prediction: 3-1
Cambuur
PSV and Cambuur face each other in a David-vs-Goliath clahs at Philips Stadion on Saturday evening. PSV kicked off the new Eredivisie campaign in style, with the team beating Heracles on the road, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to put an end to Ajax’s dominance in the Dutch top flight.
Teenage winger Noni Madueke has been scoring goals for fun in all competitions at the start of the season, and we are positive that he will make life difficult for the opposition back-line. USA international Richard Ledezma should be the only absentee in the home team. Cambuur, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Groningen, and seeing that PSV have turned their Phillips Stadion into a real fortress, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise.
