LiontipsPSV - AZ. Prediction and bets on the match of the Dutch championship
Command Analysis
Current form
PSV approached the start of the season as the main and undisputed contender for the championship title – in terms of player selection, Peter Bosz team significantly surpassed all competitors. So far, the red-and-whites have fully justified this status and have been leading the table since the first rounds, but there is no serious gap from their pursuers – the second Ajax has six points less. In the last round, PSV crushed Feyenoord at home with a score of 3:0, thus achieving their 15th victory of the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dest, Fofana and Nagalo are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- PSV have won 15 of their 17 league matches this season.
- PSV have beaten AZ in their last four matches
Probable line-up: Benitez - Junior, Boscagli, Flamingo, Ledezma - Saibari, Schouten, Lang, Tillman, Perisic - De Jong.
Current form
For objective reasons, AZ could not set the most ambitious goals for itself in the championship, but Maarten Maartens' team certainly expected to fight for a place in the top three and had everything necessary for this. So far, the cheese farmers have not coped with their task and occupy only the fifth line in the table, but at the same time they are only four points behind third-placed Utrecht - the entire fight for a ticket to the Champions League is still ahead. Having beaten Twente 1:0 in the last round, AZ won their fifth victory in a row and the tenth in the championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
Smith and Westerveld are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- AZ have won their last five league matches
- AZ have scored in their last 12 matches
Tentative line-up: Oduro - Wolfe, Penetra, Goes, Maikuma - Kopmeiners, Mijnans, Klasi - Van Bommel, Parrott, Poku.

2.15Tip and bets
PSV are in great shape and are undoubtedly the favourites – the hosts have a huge advantage in class. It is obvious that the red-whites will be maximally motivated and will play in their usual attacking style – the visitors have no chance of containing such power. However, it is unlikely that AZ will come only to defend and strive to cling to a goalless draw, the cheese farmers have their own trump cards in attack, they managed to score in the last 12 matches, and the visitors are quite capable of scoring one goal today.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.65
Bet on the outcome
PSV are currently only six points ahead of Ajax and a mistake could reduce this advantage to a minimum and escalate the championship race to the limit, which the hosts will clearly be trying to avoid. Despite their excellent form, AZ chances of getting points are frankly low - the cheese farmers are significantly inferior in terms of player selection, the opponent is in excellent form, motivated, it is unlikely that the visitors will be able to avoid a major defeat, their strengths are objectively not equal today.
Bet - Asian handicap (-1.5) on PSV. This bet is offered for 1.95
Bet on corners
PSV are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-3) on corners for PSV. This bet is offered for 1.85
