Eredivisie 23/24 - discussion thread

PSV will face FC Twente in the final match of the thirty-fourth round of this season. Perhaps PSV doesn’t need any more points in this upcoming match. And it seems many are predicting that PSV will be defeated by Twente. But I personally believe that PSV will continue their excellent run of form right through to this final match. PSV’s performance has been outstanding by dominating several recent matches despite having already secured the championship title. And PSV also consistently dominates every head-to-head encounter against FC Twente, where they have more often than not come out on top. So I personally predict that PSV will win. And they will continue their positive trend in their head-to-head record against Twente. I won’t hesitate to bet on a PSV victory this time. And I’m confident PSV won’t let their team lose at their own home stadium in Philips Stadion. This match is not to be missed because it will be very exciting to watch.

PSV doesn't compulsorily need to win this match, they're already champions and nothing can change that, a draw should be enough for them but if they lose, it still doesn't matter much, except they have a record to protect which I don't know if, and at such I think it's dangerous for any bettor to prioritise PSV in this particular fixture because they might end up disappointing like Barcelona and Porto in their previous matches after being confirmed champions.

I'm only just catching up with last weekend's Eredivisie results and I see there have been a few surprises.
Out of all the top 5 clubs, only PSV and Twente won their games, which allowed Twente to jump into the 3rd place with two points advantage over NEC Nijmengen.
Ajax lost to Utrecht at home. Feyenoord split points with AZ Alkmaar and NEC got beated by Groningen.

In the last round of the season this Sunday, Twente will travel to Eindhoven to play against PSV. If PSV take the game seriously, they are likely to stop Twente, meaning both NEC and Ajax will still have a chance to overtake them.

Ajax is playing away against Heerenveen and NEC will face Go Ahead Eagles at home.
My first thought was that betting on NEC to win could be a good idea, but they haven't won a game in the last 4 games, so I'm not very confident they will perform at expected level under a lot of pressure.

NAC Breda managed to secure a win at home against Heerenveen with a solid performance. However, as this victory won’t change anything for them, one could argue that the win itself doesn’t mean much. Boy Kemper scored both goals in the match, and I would have expected Heerenveen to at least pick up a point from this fixture. Strangely enough, they didn’t even manage to score a goal in the match. They failed to make the most of their chance to finish the league in at least 5th or 6th place.

Kemper was a top performer of the match because he did 2 goals in this match and he did first goal in the first half and we expected that opponent team will fight back but they didn't fight in this match And they lose their temperament when one player was in the form. He did second goal at 73 minutes of the match and he did this goal when it was need of the team because they want to be dominant in this match. The shots of NAC Breda are more as they are top quality team and players are playing for that team and overall performance of team is brilliant in this match. Possession percentage of any team matters a lot and Heerenveen possession was more by 1 percent which was not enough to win this match and at the end they lose this match.

I decided to give it a go and placed a parlay bet on Twente drawing or winning against PSV and on NEC winning against Go Ahead Eagles.

If my assessment is correct, it's in PSV's best interest not to win against Twente. By allowing Twente to earn at least 1 point, it would be guaranteed that Ajax will not get to the 3rd place and will not participate in the Champions League qualifiers in the next season. So it's a chance for PSV to cripple Ajax a little bit financially, as Ajax are their biggest league rivals. I'm not sure of that's the route PSV would take, or will they go for a fair-play approach and play for the win. But even if PSV don't go easy on Twente, Twente themselves are capable of earning points against PSV.

As for NEC, it's more of a risky one, as they are on 4 games without a win streak, but so are Go Ahea Eagles. NEC tends to perform well at home and were often dominant even in the games they couldn't win. NEC also have much more at stake, so I expect them to press hard in this last game if the season.

You're too bold to make such an assessment, I don't think they will do that because they will be playing at home. What I see in the bookies is that PSV is still the favorite, I believe the only reason the bookies make them the favorite even though they have already won the league is because of the home match. They don't want to & won't disappoint their fans & supporters with a bad result. But, good luck with your choice, mate.
