Dutch Eredivisie champions Feyenoord will seek to slow PSV’s match to the title when the two sides face off on Sunday. A top of the table clash, this encounter pits league leader PSV hosting second placed Feyenoord. PSV have been by far the best in the Eredivisie this season, and go into this game unbeaten in the league. The 65 points they’ve bagged so far, place them 10 points ahead of Feyenoord after 23 matches. They also have a massive +66 goal difference, with the best defence in the league too. In warming up for this key fixture, PSV thrashed PEC Zwolle 7-1 away from home for their sixth straight unbeaten game. PSV will have revenge on their agenda, having lost 1-0 to Feyenoord in the Dutch Cup. However, when they met earlier in the league, PSV won 2-1 away in Rotterdam. This fixture has in recent years favored PSV, who have three wins and just a loss in five meetings. While they have the league’s best defence, PSV will be concerned at the few clean sheets in recent matches. They have kept just one clean sheet in their last five matches. In 10 straight matches, PSV only failed to score once – the loss to Feyenoord.

Feyenoord have the chance to put their title defence in order and they know this is a golden opportunity. A win here will not only bring them to within seven points of the leaders but also boost their confidence in the title race. With 11 matches to go, they will want to gain as many points as they can now. They have two losses in the league this season, one of them against PSV and will hope to avoid losing this as well. Feyenoord have the second best defence in the league and will feel capable of holding off the league leaders. In their most recent outing, they failed to keep a second clean sheet in as many matches, though winning 2-1 over Groningen. That was their third win in four matches, and their only low moment in the last 14 was their Europa League elimination by Roma. Feyenoord lost that game through post match penalties. Feyenoord’s scoring consistency is good, having failed to score in just one of the last 10 away games.
