Ajax vs PSV Prediction & Betting tips
Who would have thought last season that Erik ten Hag’s men would almost fight for the Champions League final? Nobody. With a team of up-and-coming talents, the Ajax coach has made it to the semifinals of the premier class, eliminating top teams like Juventus and Real Madrid. Ironically, in the semi-final second leg Ajax lost despite comfortable leadership the game and was sent by Tottenham in the Valley of Tears.
There was a national title for Erik ten Hag: With the double Ajax Amsterdam cleared all trophies in Holland. Due to the double success of Ajax the Super Cup is played this season against PSV Eindhoven, the runner-up of the last season.
In the match between Ajax Amsterdam and PSV Eindhoven, the reigning double winner is easily in favor of the odds. Whether a tip on the team of Erik ten Hag but will pay, remains uncertain. In the summer, Matthijs de Ligt and Frenkie de Jong were the first performers. Further departures can not be ruled out until the end of the transfer window, especially as the Ajax talents are on the radar throughout Europe.
At the Super Cup between Ajax Amsterdam vs. PSV Eindhoven will therefore not be easy to predict a winner, especially since it is not clear how the departures affected team chemistry. On Saturday evening, the Dutch Super Cup will rise at 17:00 in the Johan Cruijff Arena of Ajax.
Ajax Amsterdam:
The “new” Ajax undoubtedly still has enough potential to compete internationally. With players like David Neres, Hakim Ziyech, Dusan Tadic or Donny van de Beek, the team has enough clout on offense. Departures like de Ligt or de Jong are still a problem. After investing in young players, it remains to be seen whether the efficient scouting work at Ajax will pay off again.
In the test games it was missing in part but the offensive liveliness of the last season. The achievements in the preparatory games are difficult to estimate, especially since many players act with the handbrake on in order to rule out injuries before the start of the season as far as possible. The first competitive game of the new season rises for Ajax Amsterdam in the Super Cup against PSV Eindhoven. Since 2013, Ajax could no longer win the Johan Cruyff Cup and has eight titles, three less than the rival from Eindhoven.
With a sensational season coach Erik ten Hag was able to crown the successes with national titles. Only in the semi-final second leg of the Champions League Amsterdam was coldly penalized by Tottenham hero Lucas Moura in the final stages. Mouth wipe and carry on is now the motto. With new entries from Promes, Alvarez, Marin, Martinez and Pierie, the team will be strengthened. Erik ten Hag will only have to do without Bandé and new signing Martinez in the Super Cup.
PSV Eindhoven:
Unlike Ajax Amsterdam, the season did not go very well for PSV Eindhoven. In the Champions League, the team of coach Mark van Bommel had anyway no easy ticket caught and had to say goodbye as a group last premature. At national level, on the other hand, neither the KNVB Beker nor the Dutch Eredivisie had the desired success. With three points behind, Ajax was already one matchday before the end of the season as a champion, on the last day of the game was also computationally sealed.
PSV Eindhoven did not play a bad season under van Bommel, but with the heavy CL lot and the national dominance of Ajax luck was not on the side of the Red-Whites. In the preparation the team of van Bommel did not give a bad figure. The PSV Eindhoven defense was the strongest in the Eredivisie with 26 goals in 34 games. The defensive did not perform well in the Champions League qualification match against FC Basel. With two goals conceded PSV Eindhoven has not created a good starting position for the second leg, especially since FC Basel will be against domestic backdrop is not a pleasant opponent. However, goals from Lammers and Malen in the final minutes before the end of the game ensured at least a narrow 3-2 victory.
Heavy departures were on the part of the red-whites not to cope. With Bruma and Baumgartl, the Dutch runner-up has gained reinforcements from the German leagues. After nine years, audience favorite Ibrahim Afellay returned to his old workplace. PSV Eindhoven will have to present themselves in the Super Cup much better than in the recent CL game against FC Basel, otherwise the Ajax offensive will override the team of van Bommel. In contrast to Ajax PSV will also be with the thoughts in the return match against FC Basel, which is why at Ajax Amsterdam against PSV Eindhoven only a few arguments for a prediction on the runner-up can be found.
