Ajax Amsterdam have made a stellar start to their 2024-25 Eredivisie campaign as they come into this clash sitting in second place in the league standings and are eight points behind league leaders PSV Eindhoven while they find themselves tied on points with third-placed FC Utrecht.
The Amsterdammers made it five wins in a row across all competitions following a midweek 2-0 triumph over Feyenoord in the De Klassieker. This also marked their third straight clean sheet after conceding three goals in a 4-3 victory over Minnows Heracles Almelo, and it's safe to say they've hit their defensive stride, although it's still to be seen whether they can live up to those expectations in this upcoming encounter.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 4-3-3
Pasveer; Rensch, Sutalo, Baas, Hato; Klaassen, Henderson, Fitz-Jim; Traore, Weghorst, Godts

PSV Eindhoven have made a stellar start to their 2024-25 Eredivisie campaign, which comes as no surprise for a team that finished the previous season seven points clear at the top. In the early stages of the season, they are eight points clear at the top, and that's thanks to their solid defence and relentless attacking force.
Their most recent league victory was a thunderous 6-0 win over ten-man PEC Zwolle at home, bringing their goal tally to a whopping 35, and no side in the league comes closest to that number. Apart from avoiding defeat in their last seven matches across all competitions (W5, D2), the Lightbulbs have yet to suffer a league defeat on the road, with their last defeat coming from NEC Nijmegen on March 2024 (W7, D1).

Expert Betting Tips
Manager Francesco Farioli made a bold statement last time out against Feyenoord with his pressing style of play paying dividends in a comfortable win. However, it's still to be seen whether that same style of play will apply against PSV Eindhoven, who have been unstoppable this season. PSV Eindhoven, on the other hand, are aware that defeat here could see the point gap between them and a resurgent Ajax Amsterdam narrowed down to just five points in the standings, and they will be out to avoid such a fiasco.
Despite the home team's form coming into this fixture, it's also difficult to completely write off the Lightbulbs, who have won each of their last ten league games this season. Considering that they have a superior record against their opponents in this fixture coupled with a quality squad, we anticipate PSV Eindhoven to come out on top with a narrow win in this one.
