Eredivisie 23/24 - discussion thread

[Pmalek]

I watched the Ajax - PSV match last night as well. Ajax played with ease during the first half and PSV had no chance to create any scoring opportunities. Klaassen's assist for the first goal was a beautiful piece of gameplay and Haller slotted it in the top far corner in style. The movements and passing for the 2nd goal were better than the goal itself with Tadic doing what he does best.

But the 2nd half was a completely different match where PSV had more possession and were pressing for an equalizer. Ajax player Rensch was pretty lucky not to receive a straight red for his tackle from behind with about half an hour left in the match. I think what saved him was the fact that he only entered the pitch in the 2nd half, so he had no previous incidents that the referee could remember.

Ajax are going to play an away game against Heracles this weekend. Ajax are maintaining their lead with 50 points and Heracles are the 10th with 28 points. Ajax didn't get any loss (5W) and Heracles lost only once (3W 1D 1L) in the last 5 games in the league. Ajax have won 8 of their 10 away games (8W 1D 1L). Heracles won their last 3 home games. In the last 5 head-to-head games, Ajax won 3 times and Heracles won twice. Ajax beat Heracles 5-0 on Nov 22, 2020.

I think this should be easy for Ajax again. Heracles are really weak compared to them and I expect Ajax to win this easily too.

Yes, on paper ajax will get the winner. But, in Heracles home, ajax had bad luck, they always lose in Polman Stadium (Erve Asito, Almelo) in the last 3 games. they couldn't take it easy going, probably Heracles will fight furiously, fortunately in Heracles home is different from the last 3 games ago, this time without supporter

Heracles at home is always hard for Ajax but when Ajax played at home is was an easy win the recent matches.



But Ajax had a great match against PSV so they will start the game with a lot of confidence.

[casperBGD]

both Ajax and PSV seem to be favorites, as always, but looking at quotes, there is no value in betting on them, since the risk is not that low, especially for Ajax, and the reward is low, in range @1.25, not my cup of tea

if had to choose something from Eredivisie this round, AZ would be a good choice, it is a slightly better quote, and they are playing home match, should be easier to win, and for the upset, will probably try some small amount on Twente, Vitesse seems to be out for the moment, and Twente could use that, although they also have some troubles with the team, and not that good latest results, but this could be their silver lining

Feyenoord could be a fine bet, but quote is also too low for the risk, same as Utrecht, but Utrecht will put some goals in the match, maybe better over2.5 than Both-to-score

AZ are going to play a home game against Heerenveen this weekend. AZ are the 4th with 40 points and Heerenveen are the 8th with 29 points. AZ got 3 wins (3W 2L) and Heerenveen got 2 wins (2W 2D 1L) in the last 5 games in the league. AZ lost their last 2 home games. Heerenveen haven't got a win in their last 7 away games. In the last 5 head-to-head games, AZ won 3 times and Heerenveen won twice. AZ beat Heerenveen 3-0 on Nov 8, 2020.

I think we can see goals from both teams. But I expect AZ to win this in the end.

Den Haag - PSV
Heracles - Ajax

I am predicting straight forward victories for PSV and Ajax tonight; with over 2 goals scored too; PSV are still 4 points behind Ajax in the race for the divisions title. Will Ajax end up as eventual winners ?

I think and hope Ajax will end up as winner at the end of the season. They aren't playing that great recently but kept winning the games. Other seasons they would lost those matches.

Let's see if Stekelenburg also get some points like Onana did.

ADO Den Haag - PSV ended in 2-2. ADO scored in the 95th minute. Didn't expected this result. If Ajax wins tonight their lead will be very comfortable.

Heracles 0 - 2 Ajax

Ajax won and extend their lead at the top of the league to 6 points with a game in hand over PSV who dropped 2 points against ADO. AZ Alkmaar meanwhile won against Hereveen and reduced the gap between second place to 4 points.

Ajax played very poorly I think. Heracles were really good in the second half and they could have scored the equalizer too. Ajax got really lucky in this game I believe. PSV got a really unsettling draw against Den Haag. They were ruined by the goal that came in the last minute. Ajax are more advantageous for the championship now and they still have a missing game.

It looks like Ajax plays much better against top teams then against smaller teams. Gladly the keep winning those matches.

Vitesse lost against FC Twente. Vitesse started the season very strong but last matches they gave away their second place.

Ajax never let us down, they are on the right way to grab the title again. PSV was really close, however with the draw they played this weekend they gone far from their championship dreams if Ajax continue playing like this.

PSV lost points in a very easy game for them. They actually were nearly winning that game but Den Haag equalized the score near the end of the game somehow. Ajax are 6 points ahead and we should consider that they have also one missing game. It seems like PSV's job will be really hard about keeping pace with Ajax until the end.

Normally PSV was the team which won such games with scoring in the last minutes. Looks like they lost that luck.

While watching the match against Ajax it was suprisely to see how weak the defence is nowadays of PSV. Normally Dumfries is solid as a rock but last matches he isn't that concentrate as before.

I was afraid of the possibility that they could have lost points against Heracles in this away match. Because Heracles defeated Ajax in the last three home matches before with a 1-goal difference. Ajax finally have broken their bad luck against them.

Tonight Feyenoord lost with 4-3 against Heereveen for the Dutch cup.  With a standing of 1-3 there wasn't any problem for Feyenoord. Too bad Berghuisngot a red card and Heereveen could win.

Heerveen will play the next round against Ajax.

There were incredible performances from both teams. And also it was very very unfortunate for Feyenoord that Berghuis was sent off in the 66th minute and it cost Feyenoord the semi finals. After that incident, Heerenveen made an insane comeback, from 1-3 to 4-3. They scored 3 goals in just 7 minutes when there were 10 minutes left for the final whistle. That was really an incredible match surely. 

[casperBGD]

Utrecht seems to be on a good run recently and they should be getting new points tonight against Willem II, which is deep in relegation zone
both teams are struggling with injured players, but there is no real miss-outs there

looking at whole weekend, PSV @1.7 home with Vitesse seems as great value, since Vitesse is out of touch and most of this comes from position on the table, while PSV is much better team and in a lot better form that Vitesse at the moment, will take that certainly, probably on a whole weekend parlay

Feyenoord are going to play an away game against Twente this weekend. Twente are the 8th with 33 points and Feyenoord are the 5th with 41 points. Twente won only once (1W 2D 2L) and Feyenoord got 2 wins (2W 3L) in the last 5 games in the league. Twente didn't get any win in their last 7 home games (2D 5L). Feyenoord lost their last 2 away games. In the last 5 (official) head-to-head games, Feyenoord won 4 times and 1 game ended in a draw. Feyenoord drew with Twente 1-1 Sep 20, 2020.

I think this will be a hard game for Feyenoord. Both teams have had a bad form lately. I think both teams will score and it can end in a draw. And I don't think Feyenoord will lose this.
