Eredivisie 23/24 - discussion thread

[casperBGD]

would be a good fight till the end between PSV and Alkmaar, but PSV is destined to win it, will see

AZ is set to play in Amsterdam in two rounds, and that could end up their hopes to be top 2 in the league, since that will be the weekend for Ajax to win the title mathematically, so they will try not to lose that one, and PSV have all manageable matches, will not be surprised if they will all till the end
with all said, Vitesse is not having any chance to be brought up into top2

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.

To me, the Dutch league title is already been won by Ajax who are miles ahead of PSV and Alkmaar who are second and third respectively, it would be interesting to see how the 2nd champions league spot race ends.

With PSV and Alkmaar tied on 58 points, and Vitesse who is 4th, on 55 points; any slips up in performance in a game week means 2 of those teams would miss out on champions league. With 6 games left to play, who do you think will claim the second position? Alkmaar still has to face leaders Ajax; while PSV have gronigen to play i think Vitesse has the biggest chance to take the second position as they have the easiest run of fixtures.

Am tipping Vitesse to second place after Ajax

Maybe PSV can end the league as the 2nd as AZ have a game against Ajax on April 25. But of course the other games aren't too easy for both teams. There will be a big competition for qualifying for the CL surely. Vitesse are also in this race.

All favorites have won, so it is still exciting for second place. Ajax will not be able to take the title anymore, they will play the season dryly and become champions. I'm also curious how Ajax will do in the Europa League.

The championship is already played. Now the second place will be a great fight between AZ and PSV.

Too bad Ajax lost yesterday in de EL but lets hope they finish it next week.

I think Ajax will spare players for next week at EL, the championship is as good as won and the opponent is at the bottom of the table. Also AZ and Vitesse have rather easier games, AZ has to win in order not to lose the connection for 2nd place.

Vitesse ? - ? ADO Den Haag, 4th place Vitesse face bottom of the log Haag in a bid to go level on points with PSV and Alkmaar in the race for the second champions league spot. Vitesse will win with more than 2 goals.
What are your predictions?

I expect Vitesse to win big against ADO Den Haag. ADO Den Haag isn't playing good recently so I don't see them play different against Vitesse.

So a win with more then 2 goals shouldnt be that hard for Vitesse.

Vitesse played incredibly dominantly especially in the second half but Den Haag somehow managed to keep the score at 0-0 and get a point in this one. We are in the last 7 weeks of the league and it was one of the crucial games for Vitesse in the fight for the 2nd spot.

Yep that 0-0 wasn't expected. Haven't seen the match live but in the sumary it looks like a miracle that ADO went home woth 1 point.

Heracles ? - ? Willem II
AZ Alkmaar ? - ? Sparta Rotterdam
Fortuna Sittard ? - ? FC Emmen
PEC Zwolle ? - ? FC Twente

With Vitesse dropping 2 points last night in their draw against Haag, and PSV playing tomorrow; AZ Alkmaar has the chance to go 5 points clear ahead of Vitesse and 3 ahead of PSV into second position in the race for who will take the second champions league spot after Ajax; Who do you reckon become second placed team at the end of the season ? PSV or Alkmaar ?

You can also share your prediction for todays tie

It all depends on the total number of matches remaining to round up this season, AZ Alkmaar champion league experience is what goona be talking about, PSV on the other hand is good and had played several matches with standard clubs meanwhile PSV have an easy home clash with sure 3 points against VVV Venlo tomorrow. AZ might find it a little bit harder against Rotherham today. To me PSV will remain in the second place till the season ends.

For Vitesse a big setback for the fight for second place. So it will be very difficult for Vitesse, a draw against the last in the table is simply not enough. I think the fight for second place will only be fought under AZ and PSV.

PSV are going to play an important game against Venlo today as they are fighting for the 2nd place. Venlo are also trying not to relegate from the Eredivisie. But they are the most terrible team in the league now as they conceded 73 goals in 28 games. I assume it will be an easy victory for PSV here.

It will be very close for 2nd place, PSV and AZ both make their points and are on the same level with 61 points. There will also be a close race for the relegation place. A relegation candidate is almost fixed.

[casperBGD]

will be interesting to see fight between PSV and AZ, that should last until the end
next round for them will bring AZ match in Amsterdam, so PSV could take some advantage after that one

on the bottom end, Venlo is sinking and they are approaching relegation, with Emmen just a point behind and Willem II already above, they will certainly have this break to consolidate

Wait and see how much power Ajax still has and how seriously they still take it. I think the focus is currently on the Europa League game. The next round has more priority than the league game, and Ajax also has the supplementary game on Thursday.

The Ajax - AZ Alkmaar game in 2 weeks will be a big chance for PSV to gain an advantage surely. But even if AZ lose to Ajax in that one and PSV benefit from it, I'm also sure that we will watch a great competition for the 2nd place between these two clubs.

It depends on how important Ajax take the game, next week I am assuming an Ajax victory in the addendum. If PSV then doesn't win on Saturday, Ajax will be the champions if I'm not mistaken. Should this happen, will Ajax still take Sunday's game seriously? Should PSV win, they will try to secure the championship title in the home Stadion. But Ajax has the more important game tomorrow I think.

I am very sure that Ajax will not play seriously in the match against AZ, one of the factors is that AZ has played 29 matches, but Ajax has only played 28 games. Besides that too, Ajax definitely wants to keep the performance of its players to stay fit.

Besides that, PSV might be having a hard time facing their opponents before entering the month of May. Many PSV Players Have Injuries.
