PSV vs Feyenoord Prediction

PSV have had an excellent season so far and sit atop the Eredivisie table as they look to defend their title. However, they have hit a bit of a snag in recent games. After a run of six straight wins, they faced two back-to-back defeats. They lost 1-0 against Brest in the UEFA Champions League before losing 1-0 against SC Heereveen in the Eredivisie.

However, they bounced back in incredible fashion, hammering Koninklijke HFC 8-0 at home in the KNVB Cup. Feyenoord, meanwhile, beat MVV Maastricht 2-1 in their KNVB Cup clash in midweek.

Feyenoord are unbeaten in their last eight games across competitions with six wins and two draws. They will be eager to beat PSV on Sunday and reduce the gap at the top of the table to four points. However, it will understandably be a tough task.

PSV will look to avoid two defeats in a row in the league and will take confidence from their 8-0 win. This could end in a draw.

Predicted Score: PSV 2-2 Feyenoord
