Eredivisie 23/24 - discussion thread

[mv1986]

Since Ajax surprisingly lost yesterday, PSV and AZ won
~snip

focus is probably on CL at the moment, but it is surprising to see them losing match from GA Eagles
nevertheless, they are still on top, and first favorite to take the title

it will be more interesting tough, and PSV is just two points behind, which is close, but they have European matches as well, this could add pressure for both teams

Obviously they are still on top, but who would have even thought that the league would become interesting once more?

That is all thanks to PSV and their performance that allows him to at least stay close. With these standings Ajax will be at least a little bit nervous during their games. It is just two points.

In the end is it direct comparison or goal statistics if they achieve equal points? It's a bit tough to find out as it seems.

Feyenoord should be back to winning track to keep their chances for the title race between PSV, Ajax and them today they will play for home match against Groningen and for the statistics lately both of teams seems equally strong because always playing draw with slim score but Feyenoord will pushing to win because they do not want to lost points anymore such as against AZ Alkmaar last weekend

[mv1986]

Alright alright, I know it is unlikely that Ajax is going to lose today or leave points on the table, but taking into account that PSV now took the lead, which hasn't been the case for so long, might put some significant pressure onto Ajax. They are also soon going to meet Feyenoord, although that one is a home game, but might still be a tipping point this season. I didn't expect this season to be so close towards the end given all those spectacular performances by Ajax.

Ajax will play at home against RKC today. At half time it was already 2-0 for Ajax, I think I saw that the odds for a draw were approaching 50 at that time. In the second half, RKC scored 2 goals in less than 10 minutes, and now it is 2-2. It's about another fifteen minutes (slightly longer) but a sensation is in the air. And if this remains 2-2 then Ajax has a problem because PSV is now virtually above Ajax.

it was a late saver by Tadic, from penalty spot
Ajax won in the end, and it is important three points, to have lead over PSV, two points are important

nevertheless, I would argue that for PSV is more important that Feyenoord is five point below, with two matches without win over last two rounds

It is now exciting again. That difference in goal difference between Ajax and Psv is immense. Nice that they both have the same number of points. Ajax will have little use for that goal difference if Psv continues to win. What is especially striking is Twente's 5th place, which is a lie that they come from relegation. It is between Ajax and PSV, but we actually knew that beforehand. Ajax is still a heavy favorite for the title.

It is more of a title race between Ajax and PSV now. Because Feyenoord made big mistakes for two weeks and this resulted in a big point difference with the leader. Ajax are in the lead in the standings by 60 points now and PSV follow them two points behind. PSV mustn't lose points much to be able to keep up with Ajax. Their solid form helped them decrease the point difference to two now. Because Ajax lost to Go Ahead Eagles short time ago. I hope the race would continue till the end.

Holy moly, that was what I was talking about. The pressure is onto Ajax here. PSV is keeping pace with them and Ajax only won this game by penalty in overtime. Nerves are coming through obviously. This is going to be exciting till the very end. Wouldn't want to be a PSV player tonight seeing that your direct opponent gets a penally in 90.+ and then also scores it after you took the overall lead.

With Feyenoord losing points again, it is now finally decided that the title will only be decided between PSV and Ajax (which was probably clear to most of us).

Ajax and PSV have won their compulsory matches even if it is not usual that Ajax gets 2 goals. But for 3rd place it will now be really tight and exciting as you can see in the table. And it looks like AZ have a run

yeah, Ajax conceived 9 goals in the season, with these two included
so, shout-out to RKC for scoring two goals, it is a success, even with a fact that they lost the match eventually

agree that Feyenoord is a loser here, they are sliding in points, and we are playing with them in Conference league next round, hopefully will kick them out

[bering]

Very dissapointing to see latest performance from Feyenoord because they can only get 1 point from their last 2 matches and now for race tittle only between PSV and Ajax even Feyenoord position on 3rd also not secured because if they lost points again next week then AZ Alkmaar will taking over their position especially Alkmaar currently onfire after successfully getting 5 wins from 5 matches

I think it was only matter of time when Feyenoord will drop from title race. Before season I didn't even saw them being in close distance for 2/3 season.
You're right that fight for 3rd place will be interesting, but I just realized that it only gives spot in Conference league qualifiers, what doesn't sounds very exciting. And yeah, AZ have nice run, including beating Feynoord few rounds ago.
P.S. Don't want to brag, but it's my 9000th post here. On the way to 10 000 .

Ajax scored a penalty in the 90th minute and won the match 3-2. Ajax wanted to continue without losing points in the championship race. It would have been a huge disappointment for Ajax if this match had ended in a draw. They are still 2 points ahead of PSV in the standings. They want to use this advantage to the fullest.

Exactly, a bit of luck is also needed, a draw would not have been a disaster but certainly a disappointment for Ajax, so the exciting race for the championship between PSV and Ajax continues. Do you think Ajax could score a total of 100 goals this season? If it goes on like this, the 100 goals could come to an end?

[wildan88]

Unbelievable how Ajax managed to win that match in the very last minute of the match. They led 0-2, then it became 2-2 and won 2-3 in stoppage time. Crucial victory, because they are n points equal to PSV, which could otherwise take over the lead. Ajax has also conceded quite a few goals lately. Maybe time to put Tagliaficao back in and Blind out. Ajax can still make it to 100 with the current average.

It would be very surprising if Ajax lost to Cambuur, they even almost made a draw if Ryan Gravenberch did not score in the final minutes of the match, currently Ajax are only 5 points different from PSV, their eternal rivals.

PSV will have a game against Utrecht which they won for sure and they will return to 2 points difference from Ajax, we will not see a match between Ajax and PSV again in the Eredivisie this season and this is a good sign for Ajax.

Ajax lately is really struggling and is barely winning the matches that they used to win by 3 or more goal difference. Everyone expected that they would destroy Cambuur but it was really a hard match in the second half and the finish of the match. It will be really an intresting fight for the title

Ajax have been winning the League tittle for the past 3 years now. The last time PSV won the title was in the 2017/2018 season. Therefore, PSV have the Eredivisie title in mind this season. Any slight mistake from Ajax might result to them been overtaken by PSV, they have to be quite focus and win their matches more consistently. However, Ajax won their match today against Cambuur, and boosted their points to 63, while they are currently keeping 5 points gap from PSV.

I think Ajax's main focus is on the UCL, but that notwithstanding, they need to do better else the likes of PSV will overthrow them from their position at the top. Good game against Cambuur and from the outlook of the game, I had thought it would end in a draw but 90+1', Haller gave a beautiful assist that saw Gravenberch netting for Ajax. It was really an intervening goal anda much needed one.

[wildan88]

FC Groningen - NEC was already 2-3 at half time! Those are games in which you don't have to get bored as a spectator. The quality of the match will be lower, but the more spectacular. They are now 5 minutes into the 2nd half, more goals certainly on the way. There is also a good chance that it will be 3-3, I haven't seen that result much lately. In the Netherlands, many goals are often scored, which makes it fun to watch. Ajax won very lucky yesterday in the last minute, but real champions are able to push their luck in these kind of matches.
