Eredivisie 23/24 - discussion thread

[Bilgent]

It looks like Ajax is very close to another championship this season. It used to be goal fest in Eredivisie, every game finish over 2.5 goals. I checked last week results and all games finished over 1.5 goals, 7 out of 9 games finished over 2.5 goals. I should start making bets more for Eredivisie.
Giakoumakis scored 23 goals in Venlo, they are close to relegation zone. His contract runs out soon, I wonder if any big teams have a plan for him?

Ajax had another delightful match this time against Groningen and they became victorious 3-1. PSV also didn't make a mistake and defeated Sittard 3-1 away. PSV are trying desperately not to get away from Ajax more than now. But Ajax are 6 points ahead of them even having a missing game also. If they don't make any mistake in harder matches ahead of them vs AZ and Feyenoord, they could even guarantee the championship before the game vs Vitesse away on the last week.

It will be the most interesting game of this week. PSV have a huge obstacle ahead of them to be able continue chasing Ajax for the championship. Feyenoord demolished PSV 3-1 this season before and it will be another hard match for PSV for sure. PSV couldn't defeat Feyenoord home in their last 3 head-to-heads. But I think they will be much more focused this time and finish Feyenoord here and wait for Ajax to lose points vs Zwolle away.

[Koal-84]

AZ reeled off the standard program and got 3 points. The match between PSV and Feynoord could be very interesting, currently 1-1 with a win by Feynoord they could close up for second place.

As the post above 1-1 can't change the standing board. It will make AZ minimize point will be 3 points left to the champion league zone. If the next session week 27 (AZ vs PSV) AZ wins, possibly the team will defeat PSV in the 2nd position. (PSV had better on different goals)

Look Ajax still standing on Top, immovable.

This round went perfectly for Ajax and AZ, Ajax secured the first place and had one game less than the pursuers and AZ made two points on PSV, so the fight for second place remains exciting.

It was a good win for Ajax who has benefited most from the game week this weekend as they move 8 points clear of second placed PSV; after psv picked up a point this weekend. Ajax needs fewer wins now to seal the league title. While PSV has to improve their performances or else lose the second placed position to AZ  Alkmaar who is only 3 points behind in 3rd position.

I think Ajax would win the league eventually.

It could be a very good season for Ajax this year, there are still chances of 3 titles, League, Cup and Europa League. Even if I think the winning of the Europa League is very difficult. But the other two titles are very possible without a slump.

it would be difficult to win Europa league, but they can now concentrate on this one, since League is already won after this weekend, and there is enough time for KNVB
I do think that Ajax is one of teams that can win Europa league, they have good result in first match and there are Roma, MUTD/Milan, Arsenal and Tottenham as main competitors, which all could be played with

It's a little bit off topic here by Eredivisie, but i think with a little bit luck of the draw Ajax can reach the Final in the Europa league. They will not let the championship be taken away from them with one game less and the Cup final is a day's play.

PSV couldn't manage to beat Feyenoord in a game that they were the much better side and got one point. And with this result, Ajax have consolidated their place more. We can already say that Ajax are the champions. But there is a big race for the second place among PSV (55), AZ (52) and Vitesse (51). I wonder which team will make it to the second place and qualify for the Champions League.

[hahay]

It looks like Feyenoord underestimated their opponent so they failed to get 3 points because the match ended in a draw, I am very confident Feyenoord will win because this is the best moment to win because only against teams that are ranked at the bottom of the standings. Not only that, in other match where the favorite team actually gets lost, but at least Groningen plays away and defeat is very possible.

[casperBGD]

PSV was down yesterday, and AZ is now equal on the stands with them
will be very interesting to see what will happen till the end, huge blow for PSV if they miss Champions league next season, and they just blow five points advantage in two rounds

Vitesse missed their chance, to beat Venlo and be in the race as well, but they do not seem fit for CL after all

[Koal-84]

It was a bad game from PSV and AZ is tied in the table, Ajax is as good as through in my opinion. But now it's going to be really exciting about 2nd place.

It looks like PSV are under a big threat for the second place. Because they got bad results in their last games. AZ Alkmaar and Vitesse have a better form than them and they are right behind PSV. I actually would like to see AZ or Vitesse in the CL next season if one of them manage to qualify for it.

Ajax are 11 points clear at the top of the summit and i think they will win the leaguue; the attention this weekend is towards the second champions league spot between PSV, Alkmaar and ofcourse 4th place Vitesse

PSV Eindhoven ? - ? Heracles
FC Twente ? - ? Vitesse
Willem II ? - ? AZ Alkmaar

Note: Bold is win, italic is draw
What are your predictions ?

PSV Eindhoven ? - ? Heracles: PSV haven't been doing good for a few weeks and they couldn't get a win in their last 2 games. And they are under the threat of losing their position. Heracles are only 4 points away from the playoffs now. But in this game, their job is too hard. I think PSV will get a nice win here.

FC Twente ? - ? Vitesse: This is one of the important games for both sides. Vitesse are fighting for the 3rd and maybe the 2nd place from 3 points behind. On the other hand, Twente are giving battle for the playoffs from 3 points behind but they have a terrible form lately. I think Vitesse will get at least one point and it is very likely for them to win also.

Willem II ? - ? AZ Alkmaar: There is not much to say about this game. AZ are the absolute favorite and it is an important game for them also. I assume they won't have much difficulty in winning.

Match of the day is Willem II - AZ Alkmaar in Eredivisie. AZ Alkmaar is playing for Champions League qualification, they want that second spot.
Willem II is in the alarming zone, if they don't get some points immediately they will be in relegation spot. They are playing at home so this game is a must get point for them. I don't think they can win the game though. I see AZ Alkmaar one step ahead. My pick is over 2.5 goals because both teams don't want to settle for a draw.

AZ started the match with a huge shock that they got a red card in the first minutes. Willem II tried their best to win this. But AZ were too determined to defeat their opponent in this important match. And they got an 1-0 win and took the 2nd place from PSV. If PSV don't defeat Heracles today, AZ will consolidate their position.

 Standings club



Seems PSV and AZ have the same points, win, lose and draw at the moment, only goal differences make PSV higher in rank than AZ.
possible AZ will defeat again PSV position because AZ still consistently by create the winner in the last 3 games. Koopmeiners is a key at the moment he is playing very well. before he going to another big club, I hope he creates history on this session.
