Eredivisie 23/24 - discussion thread

[Koal-84]

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

I see it the same way, after the long international break, it's very difficult to assess the current form, I think whichever team starts better after the long break will be champions. The same goes for 3rd place, whichever team starts better will finish 3rd.

For PSV it will be a tough game, because if Twente loses they could lose the race for 3rd place, I think Twente and PSV will draw and Ajax will win.

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.

I admit their focus will be split with too many matches they will play, After Twente, they going to King power stadium to against Leicester, and in the next 2 days against Waalwijk. Maybe fatigue is being a factor to get the title, but only 2 different points, that possible for the loss, and in another match Ajax got it also.

I see it exactly the same way, because of Ajax's surprising elimination from the Champions League, PSV has the stricter programme and is demanded more, including more rotation of the players. Ajax has a clear advantage over PSV, and I also think that Ajax will play the title home comfortably.

But let's wait for this round, there could be a small preliminary decision.

Interesting stuff in Eredivisie today.
Ajax conceded againstGroningen first, but it didn't took long time to make comeback for them. In the end of 1st half Ajax already were leading 2:1. In the end of game they added another goal and won game 1:3.
Twente started game very powerful and they were leading ;0 against PSV after 25 minutes. PSV loss looked inevitable. But they managed to make an incredible comeback in drmatic way. They made score 3:3 on 93th minutes. After this game Ajax leadi increased to 4 points.
In other games Feyenoord and AZ achieved important wins in fight for UEFA spots.

[Koal-84]

But PSV were lucky to come back from 3-0 down, respect. But the win by Ajax didn't make it better for PSV, Ajax got some breathing space and so did Feyenoord for 3rd place, I don't think Ajax will lose that advantage as they don't have to play Champions League anymore.

Ajax is closer to the title, agree
without pressure from European competition, it is almost done

PSV made a comeback, to get an important point, but it is up to Ajax all the time, Feyenoord can get position three in the end easily, AZ will be above Twente in the end, but it is not important, since there is play-off for Conference league between 4-7 positions

Another difficult game for Ajax with lucky ending. They won against Sparta not without difficulties. Sparta took a lead in first half. After all, Ajax managed to win game, but it wasn't easy, considering that Sparta is bottom table team. Win is win, Ajax keep leading, but tut now they don't look like such big force like they were in first half of season.
Tomorrow PSV will face Walwijk, probably not that team which can make troubles for them.

[DukeNickle]

Ajax seemed like they were going to be in some trouble against Sparta Rotterdam first. Because the first half ended by Sparta Rotterdam's 1-0 lead. But Ajax are so focused on the title right now that they still turned the game around very nicely and won by 2-1 result. They are seven points ahead of PSV for now but PSV can decrease it by three points tomorrow. Because they are going to have a home game against Waalwijk and this is a very comfortable game for them certainly. I expect no mistakes to be seen.

Ajax has almost certainly won the title after today. Again it was not easy. They have been behind 4 times in the last 5 games. Still, it's great that they win those matches every time. PSV will be disappointed, because they have been in shape lately, but Ajax always pulls the longest straw. It will be especially exciting who will get European football.

PSV is still a real opponent for Ajax, the 7 different points is not too far, if not carefully at the end of the last session, PSV will beat them. But, PSV's performance is still a bit unstable, that maybe they have several different games like the conference UEFA league and KNVB. and, in the last one, in the next week, Ajax is waiting for them on Final KNVB, this also makes them think hard to split the energy and time.

For PSV it will be very difficult to close the gap in the last rounds, so they have to hope for 2 defeats from Ajax, but I don't think Ajax will have those two defeats. They can fully concentrate on the league because of the elimination in the Champions League.

Also PSV has a tough game against Leicester this week, on Sunday is the cup final PSV vs Ajax by the extra game I also think Ajax has a big advantage on Sunday in the final.

agree, Ajax is as close to the title, as one team can be, and they will win it
PSV will try to get Cup, but looking at their matches with Ajax this season, it will be an easy win for Ajax, IMO

on the other hand, passing Leicester (which is possible), to PSV in a position to win first Europa Conference league, and that could be their crown this season

Two tough matches await PSV. Winning against Leicester will not be easy. Leicester is a strong enough team. But now PSV may consider the match against Leicester in the conference league more important than the win against Ajax. Because if they can beat the Leicester team, the next opponents are not very difficult. So maybe PSV will give more priority to winning the conference league title now.

Since next year a participation of Russian teams in European tournaments is probably excluded and of Ukraine very questionable, a fixed participation in the Champions League could also not be excluded for PSV as second.

Even if the Conference League is won, I assume that PSV will start in the Europa League in the group stage anyway. But it would be a prestigious title

Since Eredivisie joined Sorare, this could be the place to discuss Eredivisie fixtures and results (Dutch League) - old topic is in-active for three years, and I decided to make a new one

I am really glad to see this thread, but why make it self moderated? Some people may not post on this thread just because it is self moderated because the whole thread can easily be deleted by the person that post the OP, I mean the person that created the thread. This is just my advice, you can move the thread to Archival board and move it back to gambling discussion board to remove the self moderation. This is just a suggestion though.

Both clubs have now played 29 matches, the point difference between Ajax and PSV is just 4 points, anything can still happen. PSV having more matches could be another reason a club performance might be reduced, PSV will be playing with Leicester tomorrow again which is not going to be an easy match. Playing more matches can reduce performance but the point between Ajax and PSV is not even much.

The Cup final is coming up now and the league has a week off, PSV has been eliminated in the Conference League and will now concentrate on the Cup final. Ajax had a little bit more break and I think they will be fresher in the final and will win it against PSV. PSV didn't have much of a break because of the game against Leicester, so it will be very difficult in the final for PSV.

[Koal-84]

In a very even game the score is now 1:1 in the cup final. I'm curious how the final will end, PSV is better started in the 2nd half. Think but Ajax will win the game then yet, but since will see.

Exit:

2:1 for PSV now, does Ajax now substitute Haller to still win?

PSV has won the final of the cup in the Netherlands. Scored 2 goals just after the break and the victory was in. I know it is separate from the Eredivisie, but for Ajax this is another blow after being eliminated in the Champions League by the much weaker Benfica. Ajax is 4 points ahead in the competition, but this could break them mentally, disappointment after disappointment.

The tie ended 2-1 as PSV won the dutch cup for the season. It was a very beautiful game, one where Ajax were quite unlucky, with Tadic hitting the posts, VAR chopping their goals and a crucial miss. The Ajax squad can keep their heads high and focus on winning the league title conveniently come May. With Ten Hag reported off to MUFC, title win will be a good sending off wishes for both parties

[Velvet78]

What an interesting game it was in the KNVB Beker finale! Ajax scored and got ahead first by 1-0. But it was really interesting to witness that PSV scored two goals by a gap of two minutes only (48', 50'). And the game ended up with PSV's 2-1 lead also. They are the champions of this tournament and it must be feeling good for them to achieve at least one title this season. Actually it is two for PSV as they won the Super Cup by demolishing Ajax 4-0 also. But it is doubtful whether they can complete it to three by the Eredivisie title as well.
