After holding FC Utrecht to a scoreless draw on the road, FC Volendam extended their unbeaten streak to two games, and while they were en route to making it three games on the road in their most recent match against Heerenveen, they were brought back down to earth with a 2:1 defeat.
But that was the least of their troubles, as this further extended their winless run away from home to seven matches where they've failed to meet expectations as they continue to struggle for consistency. Only one clean sheet was kept by them during those games.
At the Kras Stadion, they've done a commendable job of meeting expectations, and the mood between them and their fans has been buoyant as they are riding on the back of a three-match winning streak that comes after a difficult three-month period in which they were on a five-match losing streak.
They currently occupy 14th place with 27 points and have maintained a two-point advantage over FC Emmen in 16th place.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 5-4-1

Form: WWDWW
Luuk de Jong's goal in the 12th minute of the first half at home against Excelsior Rotterdam served as motivation to pump his side to score three second-half goals to call it a day with a commanding 4:0 triumph.
And this comes after their 2:1 win in the KNVB Beker semi-finals against third-tier Spakenburg, booking themselves a ticket to the final, where they'll get to lock horns with Johnny Heitinga's men, Ajax Amsterdam, 14 days from now. With their title hopes in the Eredivisie hanging by a thread, the KNVB Beker may be a worthwhile addition to their trophy cabinet.
With signs of improvement in their performance on the road, they have accumulated 9 points from two wins and three draws and have only two games left to play on the road, which they'll likely use to their advantage to secure maximum points against Sparta Rotterdam and AZ Alkmaar, to see out their season on a high note.
They currently occupy 3rd place with 59 points, level on points with Ajax Amsterdam in second, and will be seeking to aim for all three points in this clash.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 4-3-3
Benitez; Van Aanholt, Boscagli, Ramalho, Mwene; Veerman, Gutierrez, Til; Simons, De Jong, Bakayoko

Expert Betting Tips
Having entered the top three in the standings weeks ago, PSV Eindhoven have not looked back since, and down the lines it seems they are being offered more than they've bargained for, and that's a Champions League spot, which is currently occupied by Ajax Amsterdam in second place, and though they are level on points with the Eredivisie giants, the goal differential has been the deciding factor, albeit for the time being.
All they can hope for is that the Eredivisie giants stumble in their upcoming matches as they look to do the impossible, which is dethrone them from second place. They are favorites with bookmakers away from home to secure all three points, and there's no doubting that as their away form has slowly started to show signs of consistency.
A run of five games without defeat away from home surely points to a PSV Eindhoven win, and the fact that they have yet to lose a game against FC Volendam in their last 17 games makes their triumph a forgone conclusion, but there's no value picking them up in the full-time, as such, back PSV Eindhoven to win with both teams finding the back of the net.
