PSV - Vitesse predictions

With top online bookmakers pricing a home win at odds of 1.06, it’s hard to expect anything other than a decisive PSV victory. It’s a uniquely one-sided match – which rarely translates to a lot of excitement in the pitch.

The current perspective makes the situation clear. Given the superiority of PSV and the fact that Vitesse are given 34.00 odds to win, it is easy to conclude that anything but a home win would be an unexpected shock.

The hosts’ most recent Eredivisie performance was consistent with both betting predictions and their overall form. They went in as both the home team and hard favourites, took an early lead, and ultimately decisively won the match 5:1.

Vitesse faced NEC in the previous round as hosts. With most bookmakers online pricing a home win at 3.06, even the draw at half-time was somewhat surprising. The stalemate didn’t last, however, and NEC decisively won the game 0:3.

The home team’s attackers have been highly effective recently. Our records show more than 5 goals scored over the course of their 3 latest matches. This bodes well for their upcoming performance.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Eredivisie outings.

PSV are currently the top dogs in the Eredivisie, but there’s still time to change that and they need to be careful. Still, the season’s end is getting closer and the match against Vitesse is a good chance to solidify their position even further.

According to most betting predictions, the away team will be lucky to earn even a single point in this showdown. However, they’ll be desperate to do so anyway. Their position in the relegation zone is becoming direr with each passing round, and they’ll have to give their best if they want to come back to the Eredivisie next year.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Ismael Saibari, Noa Lang, Hirving Lozano will have to sit this one out, while Vitesse will have to make do without Miliano Jonathans, F. Fofana, Davy Pröpper, Anis Hadj Moussa, Mexx Meerdink.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1.07 odds offer a decent return.
