PSV vs Waalwijk prediction: NETHERLANDS: Eredivisie betting tips on match 2024-05-18 12:30.
[p]PSV Eindhoven celebrated their national title extensively and this was clearly visible last weekend against Fortuna Sittard, where the champions could not get any further than a 1-1 draw. The squad was seen partying in Ibiza this week, so it is not inconceivable that PSV will be a shadow of the team that became champions so convincingly on the previous Sunday afternoon. But a 2-0 victory will be enough for the Eindhoven team to equal the best Eredivisie goal difference ever (+90), which could provide extra motivation to end the season in style.[/p]
[p]In addition, the players will be doing their best to help captain Luuk de Jong score a goal. The centre forward is currently one goal behind Vangelis Pavlidis on the top scorers list (27 to 28). He can also be crowned as an assist king, because he and his teammate Joey Veerman have each provided at least four more assists (15 each) than all other players in the Eredivisie.[/p]
[p]At provincial rival RKC Waalwijk, there has been anything but a celebratory mood in recent weeks. The Waalwijkers are only outside the danger zone based on goal difference and may therefore have to report for the play-offs next week. The advantage over Excelsior is only three goals, but Henk Fraser’s team can draw hope from the fact that the Kralingers themselves also meet a top team with Feyenoord.[/p]
[p]RKC scored a point against PEC Zwolle in extra time last week, but will look back on the last round negatively, as competitor Excelsior not only came much closer in the rankings with a 4-0 victory over Heracles, but also received an enormous confidence boost in the run-up to the crucial last day of play. It should be noted that RKC also defeated Heracles two weeks ago with a score of 0-5. Heracles itself can also finish in sixteenth place if RKC and Excelsior both manage to win.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Joey Veerman was directly involved in six goals in his last six matches against RKC (G2, A4). David Min can become the great hero of RKC if he can continue his exceptional form of six goals in his last four games.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: PSV won all fifteen Eredivisie games at home to RKC this century and kept their goal clean in eight of the last ten.[/p]
