The action of the final day of the Eredivisie season continues with 2nd placed PSV playing host to 7th placed Heracles as the betting tips continue at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven with the hosts looking to bounce back from defeat last time out…
PSV Prediction
PSV were handed a 1-0 loss away at AZ which put a huge dent in their ambition of capturing the Eredivisie league title as they now trail league leaders, Ajax, by a 3-point margin but more importantly, they trail by a significant 14-goal difference which has put paid to PSV’s title hopes.
Nevertheless, PSV will want to bounce back from last week’s defeat as they play their final game of the season at their Philips Stadion where they’ve posted an excellent home record which stands at 15-1-0 55/6 which sees the hosts still unbeaten on home soil as well as holding the best defensive record at home in the Eredivisie as well.
There’s a whole list of impressive statistics when looking at PSV, as the hosts have kept a total of 10 clean sheets, scored 2 goals or more in 14 of their 16 home matches, along with being ahead in 12 of their 16 at home at half-time – and it’s this last statistic that could prove to be the winning combination.
Heracles Prediction
Heracles find themselves in a tough situation in this final match of the Dutch top flight season as the visitors need to get some sort of result here at PSV and hope that Groningen lose at Emmen, in order for tonight’s visitors to confirm their top 7 finish and a place in the Europa League qualifiers at the start of next season.
However, having lost 4 of their last 6 matches overall in the Eredivisie in recent weeks, Heracles will do well to get anything out of a PSV side still smarting from their surprise defeat last time out – and losses to Willem II, Feyenoord, AZ and Excelsior perhaps show the visitors’ vulnerability.
In addition, Heracles possess a rather ordinary looking away record that stands at 4-3-9 18/33 with their successes on their travels being sporadic rather than consistent.
With just 2 clean sheets to their name on the road throughout this season to date, Heracles look to have their work cut out here if they’re to get anything out of their trip to the Philips Stadion, as well as recent history being firmly against them also.
PSV have won 6 of the last 7 meetings between these two sides.
