Did anyone watched Cambuur - PSV game? It had very unexpected outcome, hosts won 3:0. 1st their goal was amazing, on the other hand, PSV goalkeeper Benitez had to save this ball. After scoring goal Cambuur didn't stopped to attack and didn't parked a bus. And they managed to score 2 more goals.
On live table AZ Alkmaar is leading after their win against Groningen, but Ajax game with G.A. Eagles just started, if they will win, Ajax will be leaders again.

did not watched the match, but really surprising to see PSV down 3:0 in domestic league, and they did not play with Ajax
AZ on top, at least few hours , although Ajax is still goalless, but only 25 minutes gone so far

looking at stats, PSV did not dominate the match either, 55% possession, and just one more shot on target than Cambuur

Even Ajax and PSV both are going to be tough challengers for title, but we can expect good fight from others and Feyenoord, Twente are also doing good as they are also looking for place in UEFA competitions for next season look like all three teams are going to win in tomorrow matches after break as opponents are not good enough.

Every season in the Eredivise league we see the dominance of Ajax and PSV. These two teams are at the top of the table with 18 points this season as well. However, Feyenoord started the season quite well. They would have been at the top of the points table if they had not lost the last match and lost the points. Winning the title won't be easy for PSV or Ajax. Alkmaar and Feyenoord are playing well this season.

PSV faced second defeat of this season as they lost second consecutive away match and have thumbing lost against Cambuur with this defeat now they can drop to fourth because Ajax is already at the top and AZ Alkmaar and Feyenoord both have good chance for taking over from their current position with this now things could be more interesting because PSV is now feeling heat even this is just eight round but with this big defeat their defence is exposed, and now they need to work on this if they want to stay at the top with this season is having good challenges for both giants in this Dutch League.

Ajax is surely now having good chance for taking lead even It's too early but with this second defeat of PSV Dutch League is going to be wide open for few other teams, and they can develop their quality if they want to be in touch for title race which is surely possible.

The fact that PSV is far from stable has proven to be an honor today. Ajax also seemed slightly taken aback in recent weeks, but what happened to PSV today would never happen to Ajax. Losing 3-0 to a team that has to fight against relegation. How are you going to explain that if you want to compete for the championship? It's nice about the Eredivisie that all teams can beat each other, with Ajax of course normally being the exception. Ajax is now also playing football and is on a 1-0 lead, but we have just reached the break. There will still be way goals. And next week the CL so possibly some players get some rest.

No one expected that Cambuur would win against PSV, not only that, maybe people didn't even expect Cambuur to put pressure on their shooting attempts. If PSV get the same result again in the next matches, then it is certain that Ajax will get the Eredivisie title again for this season. On the other hand Ajax are winning 1-0 from Go Ahead Eagles, this will widen the gap between Ajax and PSV.

Don't hurry with awarding title to Ajax. Despite scoring first, they didn't managed to win against G. A. Eagles, game ended 1:1. Didn't watched game, but from stats it looks like Ajax dominated completely and Eagles scored out of nowhere.
Another potential contender Feynoord didn't managed to beat Nijmegen. So, main winner of this round is AZ who managed to take a lead. Twente also managed to get closer to the top teams.

[Zackgeno96]

Ajax also appears to be vulnerable. Not being able to beat a mediocre team at home and therefore lead 1-0. I think Ajax is currently underestimating the competition. It is often far too easy. And what about PSV who lost 3-0? Feyenoord also failed to win today. Of all the teams that I would put at the top after 8 games, AZ would be the last. However, they are really at the top. This could be a really weird season. I don't see Ajax making any big steps for the time being due to a new turn this weekend. They also have to play against Napoli next week, if they also lose that match, it will have a lot of consequences for the form in the competition.

This was a pretty interesting week in the league to be honest.

Ajax were too unlucky this week. Because they dominated the match completely against Go Ahead Eagles just as expected. However they were still stuck at only one goal. And it was like a miracle that their opponent found a goal by their only shot in the second half. They stole one point thanks to this goal and this 1-1 draw must have dropped the morale of Ajax players before their Champions League match.

On one hand, Cambuur's performance was really mesmerizing. They played like they should against PSV and they weren't afraid of their opponent at all indeed. By a great effort in the second half they literally destroyed PSV 3-0. PSV players must have been unprepared against a performance like this. AZ took advantage of this big chance and have taken the lead by defeating Groningen. The current competition in the standings is really lovely even though I feel confident that PSV - Ajax duo will be the only teams in the title race at one point.

[Koal-84]

Very surprising results this past weekend, except for AZ, all the front runners got a little bit patched up. PSV's 3-0 defeat is the most surprising, it was very unexpected, but it keeps the season exciting.

Exactly, ajax had 75% possession, but if you don't score the goals, it doesn't help.

Of course we can't expect the favourites of the league title to win every single game in the season. But it was still an interesting week as Ajax and PSV both lost points. Ajax at least tried their best but couldn't score the second goal. Things were different for PSV. They weren't good enough against Cambuur especially in the second half. Cambuur benefited from their weakness by a brave performance and got a very surprising result like 3-0. They defeated PSV for the first time in their history which is another nice achievement for Cambuur.

AZ are the new leader indeed but we will see how long they can keep the lead.

Agreed about this now they teams are having good strength in their squads, and they can do good performance against top teams now just AZ Alkmaar is only team which is undefeated in this season, and now they are currently leaders with their record is surely impressive, and now they can keep this spot for some weeks if they are able to beat Utrecht in coming week match.

PSV is now surely feeling pressure because they fail to qualify for Champions League and now having second defeat in early rounds of this season specially team Cambuur is currently after this win at 15th spot and this was their second win in this season now they have to be more solid in coming matches otherwise they can drop out from this spot for the next season which could be surely not good for them in Dutch League.

PSV look unstable, but when I look at the previous match, they look confident to beat Feyenoord, I still don't know why they lost to a team with underperformance than them. now, PSV must focus to beat 2 teams on top, AZ is an unexpected team to be on top, they make surprised, and they created good achievements by never losing in 13 matches. 

And what the big surprise tonight is Ajax lost with 5 different goals in Champions league.

[casperBGD]

is Volendam seen to get trashed from Ajax, due to their match with Napoli, that they lost 1:6
somehow, Ajax will be motivated to show that they are strong team despite CL results, and Volendam is the right opportunity for that, will put some small amount on over4.5 and o5.5

Feyenoord vs Twente will be interesting tomorrow, but also leader is going to Utrecht where is not an easy task to win it

Well, at least we get to see some variance finally at the top of the table. PSV makes mistakes, and Ajax Amsterdam also tied one game and lost one game out of the last three while Alkmaar is taking advantage of the opportunity at least to some degree and makes it a bit more exciting for the soccer fans.

In the end I think it will still be about Ajax and whether they can play to their best potential. Even though they had some players leave the club during the last transfer period, they are still the best team on paper I would say. PSV is probably very close. Yet, that doesn't mean Alkmaar has no chance at all.

I think what really took Ajax down a little bit is the last minute transfer of Antony to Manchester United. That was a loss in quality.

Another mediocre match from Ajax. They did win 2-4 but we are talking about Volendam, one of the worst teas in the competition. And at some point it became 0-3, that you let it come to 2-3 is also bad in itself. Ajax is in a very difficult period at the moment, it is important to find the form again and in the meantime just keep winning matches. AZ is the surprising frontrunner, but it is still too early to label someone as a favorite. Ajax has been anything but convinced this season, but that can change quickly. I heard people say 4 weeks ago that this Ajax is the Next level again, and now they would suddenly be in a form crisis. Opinions are quickly adjusted in the media.

~snip

expected more from Ajax, but it was enough to see 6 goals, and all my bets up
it is hard to play against Volendam, match that is already counted as three points, and Ajax let it down after 3:0, just to put some more pressure after two conceived goals

we are yet to see Feyenoord, PSV and AZ in this round, and all have harder opponents, playing away except from Feyenoord that have home match with Twente

[Koal-84]

Ajax got the compulsory win yesterday, but it was strange that they conceded 2 goals at the end of the game. Feyenoord and AZ are currently leading 1:0, but we'll see if PSV can keep up in the evening. At the moment it's still very tight in the championship and not only between PSV and Ajax.

Well expected result from Ajax against a team which is having no win in last five matches, but now we have some entertaining matches coming today with unbeatable team AZ Alkmaar is going to visit Utrecht which is also doing good job, and we can expect good performance from both teams in this match which will give better shape to league table because if visitors won then surely this could be pressure on PSV and Ajax for improving quality for rest of the season.

Today PSV is going to visit Heerenveen which is having very impressive record at home and surely another challenge for visitors if they want to keep their chances for top two spots Feyenoord is going to host Twente in action packed super Sunday in Dutch League.

all teams that were supposed to win, won their matches, although with a lot of pressure

Feyenoord won 2:0, AZ won in Utrecht 1:2, but they were a better side, and had 0:2 until the overtime, when Utrecht scored one, but was far from equalizer, and PSV won 0:1, goal by Gakpo, and he also scored an agreement with Leeds to get into PL, which could be a good transfer for Leeds, and United was in the race too

PSV Eindhoven achieved an important victory, even if they only managed to score 1 goal, the most important thing is that they achieved a victory and with this result they are in the third position of the table and there is only a little difference in points with the current leader, I believe that this season we will see a lot of competition, the fight will be tougher in the top teams


Go Ahead Eagles 0 - 0 Cambuur

I didn't bet on this game and from what I see it was a good choice I made

FC Utrecht 1 - 2  AZ Alkmaar

as expected from AZ Alkmaar, they are a strong contender for the title

Feyenoord 2 - 0 Twente

this was a game in which Twente was very unlucky, the red card that the Twente player had, doomed them
