PSV vs NEC Nijmegen Prediction: PSV to win

PSV suffered a heavy blow in the championship race as he was defeated in the last round by Groningen. And here in Eredivisie every mistake reduces the chances of getting the trophy. Groningen had four defeats in a row. So, it's no wonder that he entered the match with PSV Eindhoven, the eternal candidate for the title, as an outsider. But something strange clicked at Euroborg, PSV conceded 4 goals and was defeated. The four points gap between Ajax and PSV will cheer everyone in Amsterdam, and spoil the mood in Eindhoven. Now PSV will have the opportunity to make things right against another underdog NEC Nijmegen.

After that defeat in the last round, PSV played another match last week in the Europa League against Arsenal. PSV demonstrated power and won 2:0 and qualified for the knockout phase. Now he will welcome NEC Nijmegen in good mood, currently in 2nd position win 24 points same as Feyenoord and 4 less than Ajax. After 11 matches he has 8 wins and 3 defeats and PSV this season at home has 5 wins, 22 goals scored and only 6 conceded.

The visitor has only 1 win, 8 draws and 2 defeats so far this season with 12 goals scored and 12 goals conceded. So, it is tight opponent with focus mostly on its defense. NEC currently is in 11th place with 11 points and against PSV will try to play his game and to stop the furious host.

PSV will do his best to win in this match and to remain close to Ajax in the pursuit for the title. This season on this stadium PSV is brutal and it will be interesting to see if tight opponent with defensive mentality like NEC can stop him. However, PSV has enough quality to find a way to score against such opponents and in this match we will probably see many goals at least from the host.
