Eredivisie 23/24 - discussion thread

Another really close game on Friday for Ajax Amsterdam They obviously are under pressure right now.

It is good to see though that PSV keeps putting pressure onto Ajax these days. Collect point after point and the only thing they can really do at this point is to hope for Amsterdam to leave points on the table in one of the upcoming games. In terms of efficiency both are on fire. It will be a close race, nice!

yeah, they seem to be under a lot of pressure due to CL
PSV is also winning, important win over Utrecht, that is always a tough opponent to win

nevertheless, I cannot imagine PSV taking the title, Ajax is a lot better team at the moment, and they will probably prove that until the season end, but it is getting interesting

The pressure is on not only on Ajax but also on PSV and in fact I think the follower is under more pressure.However no matter how much better Ajax can be the game between the two is always great to watch and even PSV for me it has the power to win the title this year,in fact in the last 5 games Ajax has a lost game while PSV has 5 wins.I don't think any other team can fight for the title yet although the mathematics still permit for other teams like Feyenoord to dream about it.The most stable team in the last 5 games has been PSV so it will be tough until the end.

Feyenoord again won with pain and effort today from Zwolle. At the top it seems to go completely between Ajax and PSV, I thought Ajax was clearly going to win, but they both drop the necessary stitches and they don't convince either. It's a matter of who continues to win, the rest of the league is really much weaker. AZ and Feyenoord can keep up well, but AZ really had a very poor start to the season.

[Koal-84]

Ajax and PSV have both won their games, Twente's win over AZ has given Feynoord some breathing space for 3rd place. But the third place is not fixed yet because all 3 teams can still play for the third place. But almost no teams are dropping points any more and also by Ajax and PSV.



Let's see what happens to Ajax after the champions league game, they usually drop points there.

I was surprised only gap 2 different points with Ajax, I haven't watched Eredivisie in a long time, I don't expect too much PSV can be good so far, winning 5 games in a row is was created best performance. If they still keep holding this, the KNVB trophy where is playing next month versus Ajax is possibly leaning toward them. After that just focusing in Eredivisie, PSV will make Ajax on trouble for this session.

[Koal-84]

After a possession dominating game in the Champions League with some bad luck but no ideas Ajax is eliminated, for me very surprising but it is what it is. Anyway, Ajax can now put the full concentration on the league and think now it will no longer be a problem to win the title.

[VanityWallets2015]

It seems to be going in the wrong direction with Ajax lately. They have been beaten by Benfica in the CL and have conceded a lot of goals in the competition lately. Onana also makes a bad impression. And today it is rest and they are already behind at home with 1-2 against Feyenoord. According to the bookmaker, Ajax is still slightly favorite to win, but if they don't win this and PSV do, then PSV can take over the first place. Still disappointing for Ajax this match.

De Klassieker between Ajax and Feyenoord was great game.It was so hot that fire literally break out in the stadium:

Ajax managed to win game 3:2, but I agree with post above that they no longer reminds that team which we saw in first part of season. After this loss, Feyenoord is ofcially out of title race, they're 11 points behind Ajax. Meanwhile PSV didn't had any problems against Fortuna Sittard, won game 5:0 and still keep close 2pts distance from Ajax.

it was a shock for them to be kicked by Benfica, and that probably made their heads looking to this game
but, I believe they will find the play to get title in Ere, PSV is good team, but they stayed in European competition, and that would probably make them losing points in some matches, which would decide title

but, what is important for both, they secured CL next season, since Feyenoord is out

Exactly Ajax had a small shock, but they won an important game and brought the points home, the first place in the Eredivisie is very important, because then you have a fixed starting place in the Champions League and also the starting money can be fixed in the budget. Ajax should have earned well in the Champions League this year, even though they were eliminated.

Ajax is still at the top, but really shouldn't have been at the top anymore. It has now happened a few games in a row that they score the winning goal in the last minutes of the game. And they have often been behind. That's how PSV always won its matches. Luck or matter of enforced? Since Marc Overmars has left, Ajax has stopped working at all. I doubt whether Ajax will still become champion. PSV is currently more convincing. The difference is very small between them.

For a title when it gets tight, you also need a bit of luck. I think it will be easier for Ajax now that they don't have a Champions League burden. PSC has more Europa Cup League games, the next game against Leicester will be very intense and demanding, PSV could drop points in the league. Even if Ajax was not so convincing in the last games, they are still my favorite.

PSV Eindhoven expected Ajax to lose the match but Ajax won nicely 3-2. Feyenoord had a 2-1 lead until the last 12 minutes but Ajax recovered very well. They continue to lead without losing points. Psv will wait for Ajax to lose points in another match. We are in a period when the championship race is very exciting.

Ajax are still too strong in this match even though they are 2 times behind but their mentality is really very good because indeed they can keep the situation level and make a pretty sweet comeback in this match.
But even in this match Feyenord played quite well in my opinion even though they continued to be pressured but first excelled even 2 times in my opinion it was quite good

PSV is playing really good lately both in europe and in their domestic league. But i think that PSV dosent have that quality to overtake Ajax and win the title. Yes Ajax is winning some matches based on luck and late goals but that is the quality of big teams. Even when you are down in form you should win matches no matter how hard it is. Once Ajax is back in form they will win some matches with huge goal difference for sure.

Have been a long time sleep. when we look the table only 2 different points left.



The competition becomes too high between Ajax and PSV, in the next day, Ajax will fight against Groningen in Euroborg Arena, Ajax must be careful because Groningen makes fast progress, they have defeated Utrech at home. While PSV will fight against Twente in De Grolsch Veste Stadium. PSV is enough to have confidence after defeating Fortuna 5-0, of course against Twente they must repeat that win at least 2 different goals If want the tittle.

Ajax has performed much better this season than PSV. Maybe they are only 2 points ahead. Ajax has scored 80 goals in just 27 matches. And conceded only 13 goals. PSV, on the other hand, conceded 31 goals and scored 68. The difference between their points is only 2. If Ajax draws in any match, the points of both teams will be equal. Yet I think Ajax will maintain their consistency until the end of the season and win the title.

let's not forget that the win over Fortuna was two weeks ago
international break will bring many interesting results, or surprises, how do you want to put

eventually, I do not think that Ajax can lose title, they are now focused on Championship, since they were out from CL competition, and PSV is still in Conference league, probably with ambitions to go to the end, since competition is not that advanced

[bering]

In the beginning of this season i thought Feyenoord could be strong contender for Ajax and PSV for race tittle but clearly i was wrong about it because Feyenoord had no consistently but at least they can finish at 3rd position in this season and next weekend they will fight against Willem and actually this could be easy match for Feyenoord because Willem had poor performance and still struggle to avoid relegated zone so i wish Feyenoord will not slipped again this time
