Eredivisie 23/24 - discussion thread

[Zackgeno96]

Battle for the championship seems to be decided. There are still many matches to be played, but Ajax also has a difficult program. Arne Slot has actually delivered an impossible performance with this Feyenoord team. He is also active in the quarterfinals of the EL. The competition could go either way, but PSV could have also found the connection if they had won against Vitesse. It's strange that both Ajax and PSV both dropped so many points while they both have by far the strongest selections. Feyenoord has the smallest amount in the bank of the top 3 in terms of budget, but you see that that doesn't always say everything these days.

When I look at Feyenoord's remaining matches, I think they don't have a very difficult match. The only opponent that will be difficult is utrecht. Feyenoord will play that match at home. It would not be wrong to expect Feyenoord to be champions this year. When I look at the remaining aon matches, I see them as matches that are unlikely to make mistakes. As such, feyenoord's job is easier than their rivals.

The different points are not too far (6 points) with ajax, and the Feyenoord performance is look good also, they only lost in the KNVB cup, maybe because they aren't too focused and be more concentrated on Europa League and Eredivisie. And, maybe too early to guess them to be champions for this year because still have 8 matches yet. Ajax usually starts up the playing tempo at the end of league like they beat PSV in the previous session. the chance Feyenoord to be champion is still 50:50

Even sports is mostly unpredictable with any result in any match can bring surprises but after checking remaining schedule of both top teams I have feeling Feyenoord is going to win this season because their mostly matches are against weaker sides which can't stop them from becoming champions with Ajax still have to face PSV, AZ Alkmaar and Twente with here most chances they can drop the points and if things will be remained like this for the Feyenoord then they clearly have chance to take revenge from AS Roma and after beating them in this quarter-final they can go through into final of the Europa Cup as they have good experienced and quality players which are doing good job in this season, and they lost last season first final of the UEFA Conference Cup final against AS Roma now time to have better results.

One really good team in terms of good football in all the games i see its Twente, they really play well, and also they are one of the most strong teams in home games, you can see they never lose in home games this season, but their main problem its the away games.... they are second in the table of home games, but below average in away games, and that detroy his campaing, i dont really understand why this happen.

Always you are strong on home games, but this its so much diference.

Ajax isn't as sharp as they were the last two seasons. They have already not won 10 games out of total games played and there are still 8 games to go. Their stats were much better the last two years. Feyenoord kind of made a comeback from good old times as they usually were around 60 points or less by the end of the season. Now they are a serious competitor and could actually cross the 80 point mark in the end. Obviously it is Ajax' defense as they conceded 19 and 23 goals in the last seasons, respectively. Now they are already at 28 goals. But even these differences in stats could be neglected if they didn't lose the showdown against Feyenoord in the last game. That is what it probably comes down to and Ajax would be first due to their better goal difference (which they would have probably kept until the end of the season).

Ajax dominance in the Dutch league will be brought to an end at the end of this season and every feyenoord fan should be very proud of what their club has achieved so far. Though the battle for the league title is not officially over but I don't that this feyenoord team would want to allow the title slip off their hands. Ajax is one team that's not gonna give up until the end and that's why Feyenoord must play like a team who is really hungry for the domestic title. Ofcourse I expect Ajax to  fight until it can't be won again but I think Feyenoord are gonna win the league at the end of the season

I don't think so. Feyenoord's remaining games are not as difficult as Ajax's. Feyenoord expects easier games and half of them will be at home. Ajax will have to play both psv and az alkmaar and there is a very high chance of losing points in these matches. For this reason, the chances of feyenoord becoming champion are many times higher. Even more than 50 percent. If we compare the remaining matches of the two, such a difference emerges

There is no point if playing well at home but always losing when playing away. So one of another mistakes from them is when they play home versus Florentina and make it draw 0-0 which makes them eliminated from the conference Europa league. And, we don't forget about the KNVB cup, Twente just lost on the 1st time in the home and make eliminated also on the KNVB cup, I believe if they continue to rely and hope in home, their position is no better than last session.

In this season we have poor performance from the Ajax and PSV both which were dominant teams in this Dutch League with Feyenoord and AZ Alkmaar both are doing good job and having better results in both leagues with Feyenoord are at the top and now most chances they will be winner in this season and if they are able to through past AS Roma then surely things could be better for them in Europa Cup as well.

Ajax is suffering due to their some wrong decisions like selling their coach to Manchester United with having some players as well which give them good funds, but sadly they were not able to have suitable replacements which bring them down badly and now just because of this decision they are having bad result most chances they will be tried their best for having comeback into next season which is possible, but things could be not easy for them with Feyenoord will also try their best for improving their squad for having better results again.

yes, no problem mate, even more than 50%, I hope they focus on what they target, they've got the upper hand with 6 different points, which I think they create quite a proud achievement, they have 2 different matches which have split their focus, quarter-final Europa league vs Roma and Semifinal KNVB cup vs Ajax. which I think is hard if not usually mainly do where usually lost one or lose it all without getting the title or anything.

[yayayo]

Things look bad for Ajax and PSV. Feyenoord is the big winner. What has also often been discussed in the media is the fact that Feyenoord is physically much better than Ajax and PSV. Ajax and PSV both have very inexperienced trainers and they don't seem to be good enough for this profession. In this country they are big clubs. Ten Hag also did not have much experience, but was extremely talented, with Arne Slot as Feyenoord's coach. It must be strange if Feyenoord no longer becomes champion. Even drawing 2 and winning the rest is enough for a new title. PSV may only play the Europa League next season, which is again quite a disappointment.

ya.ya.yo!

Feyenoord are really having an incredible season now. They are in a very advantageous situation in the league first of all. They are six points ahead and they have newly beaten Ajax as well. It is like they have a huge chance to win the league championship as well. While they are doing this they don't care less about the Europa League too.

I mean we all must have seen what they did to Shakhtar in the rematch. This must be a sign of how much they want the title too. Their job is really difficult against Roma though. Anyway I think Feyenoord wouldn't lose the Eredivisie title from here. The last season they won this title was the 2016/2017 one. It has really been a long time.

Feyenoord's percentage of defeats this season is quite small (in fact they have only lost 1 time since the season started), they look extraordinary in every match they have experienced, the Eredivisie league trophy this season will definitely belong to Feyenoord because Ajax has found it difficult to catch up with Feyenoord. against Roma in the Europa League is a good thing for Feyenoord to measure the extent of their strength.

It's too soon to judge that Feyenoord will get the Eredivisie title this season, there are still 8 matches left. Meanwhile, the point gap between Feyenoord and Ajax is only 6 points (2 matches). In short, if we look at the remnants of Feyenoord's matches, there really aren't any strong opponents left. But as I said before, we can't immediately judge if Feyenoord will become the kings of the Eredivisie.

There is no doubt about this unpredictable results surprises are part of sports and have good impact on results as well but with the current performance and quality we have clearly few things with just 8 matches left in this season Feyenoord are going to win this year because currently they are performing much better than opponents and now having six points difference from second spotted Ajax is also good for them specially after beating them at their home after going down at the end of first half.

Feyenoord are surely having edge against their opponents and have solid chance for the win of title even now with their performance I have feeling they can go through into final of the Europa Cup as well and this could be good chance for them to have another final after losing last season against Roma in UEFA Conference Cup.

Talking about betting more specifically, what are your favourites bets on this tournament?.

I mean every tournament have his singularity and you know where and when its better to bet in some markets.

For example you know EPL can be very low on yellow cards so you dont make so much bets on that market.

there are cases where teams spend many millions of dollars signing players that do not bring good results, let's see examples of chelsea who spent a lot of money on signing many players but chelsea does not have good results and is not even in the top 4 in the premier league, there is the case of PSG who also spent a lot of money on players and one of them is not even able to play every season because he is injured most of the time and PSG has to pay him a salary. so teams need to have a coach with a vision who manages to sign a player who will be very useful for the team

hiring players who are already tired or old or almost old or close to retirement, even if they are good players it doesn't seem to me to be a good move, jax has a squad with young players but doesn't have a squad with very famous players, I don't know how much ajax invested in players, but it shouldn't be a lot of money if we compare it to the teams in the top leagues like the premier league, la liga... with the players that ajax has and the results they have, it makes perfect sense. if ajax had a lot of expensive and bad performing players then it would be acceptable to criticize them

for me the premier league, la liga, serie A, portuguese league, bundesliga and Ligue1 are my favorites

Feyenoord is playing city derby with Sparta this weekend, eight rounds to go, they need six wins to secure title, even if Ajax wins it all
really good position for them

first step against Sparta is an never easy city derby, and after international break, but they should win this one, @1.57 I will probably put this on my betting list on Sunday
Ajax and PSV also play away matches, should win as well, but odds are low on Ajax, and PSV is a favorite, but Nijmegen is as Sparta in good form this season

[BitcoinAccepted]

Feyenoord was already 6 points ahead of Ajax before today, so the title was already becoming a very difficult story for Ajax. PSV managed to win and Ajax did not. Feyenoord eventually managed to win 1-3 at Sparta, which means that Feyenoord is now no less than 8 points ahead of Ajax and PSV. And if things are still a bit disappointing, Ajax will not even qualify for the CL. That is a dramatic season for Ajax. Everything seems to be going in the right direction at Feyenoord at the moment. I just don't think Feyenoord is able to keep coach Arne Slot for next season. Then there will be clubs from the EPL with a big bag of money. Then Feyenoord has a serious problem.

Feyenoord is not playing badly, but it is really mainly because of Ajax itself that they are not at the top now. After the winter break Ajax has wasted a lot of points. I can even remember that at one point Ajax was not able to win 7 times in a row. So you already leave 7x2 = 14 points there, and there were even a few defeats in between. I think Ajax really needs to look for a new trainer for next season, and last season's transfer policy was also worthless. Invested so much money and then maybe become 3rd in the competition. And becoming 4th could also happen. Sparta is also having a very nice season and Volendam is in a place that they have only dared to dream of at the start of the 2nd half of the competition.

Also striking that 2 games ended goalless. You don't see that much nowadays, especially when Ajax has to play football. There was a bizarre moment in the match. Kudus scored a goal but was flagged offside by the linesman. But isn't the rule prescribing if you're not sure that you should continue? The VAR couldn't see it well either because there was a player in front of it, so the linesman's decision remained, which has now deprived Ajax of 3 extra points. At Utrecht there were even 2 goals rejected in the match against Volendam and that match also ended in 0-0
