PSV - Willem II predictions

Top bookmakers online have made PSV overwhelming favourites in this match and judging by the available odds it’s hard to see past a comprehensive home win here.

The current perspective makes the situation crystal clear. Given the superiority of PSV and the 21.00 odds given to Willem II to win, it is evident that anything but a home win would be an incredible shock.

The previous round was quite uneventful for PSV. Most of the game at NEC was spent without either side gaining or maintaining an advantage. In the end, a 3:3 draw was not a great look for a team widely expected to win, as PSV were.

Willem II are coming off from a crushing defeat at the hands of AZ Alkmaar. The top online bookmakers priced their victory at 5.85 despite the home-field advantage. This assessment turned out to be true: Willem II struggled to keep up from the get-go and ended up losing the match 0:2.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Willem II can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

The home team’s only goal is staying on top of the table, which won’t be easy in the long run. They should be able to earn another 3 points this Saturday, though.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 1.13 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, PSV won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Saturday. Ricardo Pepi, Olivier Boscagli, Malik Tillman will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet may seem somewhat risky, but it’s a lot more probable than usual. It’s a great pick if the betting value is what you’re after, but some might prefer a somewhat safer choice.
