Eredivisie 23/24 - discussion thread

[Ratash]

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.

Yes a really interesting game they deserve to win that title they were very dominant in the game and they had more dangerous chances but the league is another story it will be hard to catch up to ajax after they take the lead they rarely lose points especially since they got out of the champions league the eredivisie is their main objectif and with only 5 games to the end with a four points difference i think ajax are officially champions.

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.

Congrat to PSV, after the break for a long time (10 years didn't get this title) this is the next step to getting more trophies from Ajax. I do not expect them got the KNVB cup because they left behind 1 goal before. but, they reverse the situation in the 2nd half. They still have work after this, Eredivise title. Only 4 points left from Ajax, they have to win all remaining matches if they want to combine the KNVB cup and Eredivies title.

Ajax actually had more ball in their possession, but PSV played better football, and scored two fast goals immediately after the break, which gave them cup trophy
congrats to PSV as well, it is not easy to win anything passing this Ajax, which is very strong team

still, I do not think that Ajax will let down title, it is four points up, and it is up to them to win all but one match till the end

Very unexpected the outcome, but congratulations to PSV. Very cleverly played after the 2 goals right after the break, Ajax has increased possession and had some bad luck but that's how it is.

Am also curious whether there is mentally for Ajax a damper and they also squander the championship title?

Ah, what a lovely surprise. I took 4 upset MLs on even bets yesterday, against Bayern, Real, Chelsea and Ajax -- and the lowest odds (PSV at 43/10) hit, I actually almost forgot about it. Made up for all the other losses and a tiny bump of profit, I guessed correctly that Ten Hag news would probably affect the team (though I did see several disallowed goals).

Like Koal-84, I'm wondering also now if they actually might crumble in Eredivisie itself?

maybe, but I do not see that coming, it is a big difference in a league like this, and Ajax have freedom to lose one match in last five matches, and I do not think that they will lose more than one
and PSV needs to win all matches to use chance, if Ajax lose more than one match

it would be a big surprise to see that, but if Ajax lose first match (I do not expect that), maybe that could happen, otherwise, it seems already decided

I just realized that the Eredivisie only has 18 clubs (34 matches total) when you said the last 5 matches left. because when I look at the premier league still has at least 6-7 matches left. Ajax will definitely be very focused on the remaining match because there's nothing they can chase this session, except the Eredivisie title. it would be very embarrassing when we look at the beginning how great they were at the start of the season, but of course, if PSV won all games left.

Ajax is now the most deserving contender for the Eredivise League title. I thought PSV might continue to fight for the title until the last week of the season. But PSV fell behind by drawing the match against Twente. PSV is 4 points behind from Ajax. Moreover, a team like Ajax, they do not seem to lose 4 points in the next 5 matches. They will probably win all the matches.

Five match left remaining 4 point I think Ajax as favorite for the winner on Eredivisie 2021/2022 but have bad result after defeating by PSV Eindhoven on KNVB Cup final 2-1 last several days. I think Ajax will try to wake up and get Eredivisie trophy in this season actually will be last achievement from Erik ten Hag as Ajax football manager before moving to Manchester United next season. With 4 points behind from PSV Eindhoven I think Ajax need to win three match later to lock trophy in this season.

The final against PSV and the elimination in the Champions League against Benfica both amazed me. Ajax is (was) the favourite for the league and the cup, but they lost both. Now Ajax only have the title in the Eredivisie left, with the 4 points lead they should normally bring the title in the dry, but Ajax cannot afford more than one slip-up otherwise the title could still go to PSV. Unlikely but not impossible.

It is unbelievable how lucky Ajax continues to be. Today they won 0-1 in the 88th minute thanks to a goal very late in the game. Opponent NEC has had a handful of huge opportunities and did not manage to score once. PSV Must be very disappointed, because they can never come closer this way. Ajax has already won a match f 5-6 in the last minutes of the match. Quality or luck? Let's just say you can force luck, but not every game.

would say highly unlikely
Ajax has to get nine points from last 12 points to secure the title, and considering how much points they got this season, it is their average, so title is almost theirs
if NEC succeed to get a draw, everything would be different, but late goal crushed them, and could say PSV as well, since they are down against Cambuur at the moment

PSV is already losing against Cambuur in the second minute of the game and now its still 1-0 even tho PSV is attacking like crazy now but just cannot score. I think PSV cannot win the title they dont have the team for it to overtake Ajax in the finish of the league.

Ajax were really lucky, they were able to repeat the incident when Ajax played against Feyenoord. At that time Antony managed to score a crucial goal in the 86th minute so that Ajax managed to get 3 points.

Talking about the Eredivisie champions, I'm not sure PSV can catch up with their points from Ajax, especially now that they're losing 0-1 to Cambuur, even so, at least PSV managed to get 1 title this season in the KNVB Beker final against Ajax.

[Koal-84]

Yesterday PSV and Ajax (with a little bit luck) fulfilled their duty and won, the goal machine Ajax has in any case slowed down a bit. The players are already a bit tired after the long season? Think but the lead Ajax will save over the finish line.

For the 2nd place it will be even more interesting between Feyenoord and dances, just wait for today's game.

[bering]

3rd position also look interesting to see because Feyenoord, Twente and AZ Alkmaar have equal chance to finish at that position and also gap points between these teams are not too far and today Feyenoord will fight against Utrecht and as a host Feyenoord had good chance to win the match because according to head to head records Feyenoord always win against Utrecht during play as a host and bookmakers too confirmed Feyenoord favourite in this match

Yeah, sucked to be keeping an eye on Eredivisie yesterday. Nijmegen almost took points of Ajax, until they naturally scored in 88th... so PSV must have been pumping their hearts out in similar fashion. Gap is too big, but I still wonder if I'm right that the ten Hag appointment is messing with the players, and the game at Nijmegen seems to suggest that? 4 more games, even if they draw 2 more they'll win it, so no use for me to hope I guess.

AZ Alkmaar is only 3 points behind fifth place Feyenoord in the points table. So the position of these parties can change at any time. Feyenoord will play against Utrecht today. Utrecht is not a weak team. Today, the Feyenoord team must perform well. Otherwise they will not be able to get full points. Feyenoord will lose their position in the points table if they lose points in today's match. Because Twente's performance is stable enough now.

The points race is getting tougher between them. Ajax must keep the winning in the 4 games left, as well as PSV. Ten Hag will insist on winning out the remaining matches before going to MU, he bet his name to get the last Eredivisie trophy. While PSV, they have to ambition to juxtapose the KNVB title to Eredivisie. But, pretty sure Ajax will not keep sloppy, because this is the only they can get the title for this year.

[Koal-84]

Ajax fights tomorrow against Zwolle and can thereby put pressure on PSV, PSV must win tomorrow regardless of whether Ajax wins or loses. But the two stragglers have nothing to lose and play against relegation, so there could also be a surprise for Ajax or PSV.

Weden decisive games for the title as well as for relegation.
