PSV vs NAC Breda: A Clash of Titans in the Eredivisie

Both teams enter this Brabant derby with something to prove following disappointing outcomes in their last matches. One side seeks to defend their substantial lead, while the other fights for survival in the Eredivisie. Will there be an unexpected twist? Below are our insights for betting on the PSV – NAC Breda clash.

**High-flyers vs. Strugglers**

In the Eredivisie, it’s clear that PSV is enjoying one of the best seasons in the club’s history. Out of nineteen competitive matches, they have secured victory in seventeen, with only Ajax (2-2) and Telstar (0-2) managing to snatch points from them. The team, under coach Peter Bosz, has scored 59 goals thus far. However, fans had hoped for more success on the European front, as the recent 3-0 defeat to Newcastle United has greatly diminished their chances of progressing to the next round.

**PSV vs. NAC Breda: Early Leads**

Historically, PSV has faced little challenge from opponents in the Eredivisie, as evidenced by their seventeen victories. At home, their record remains strong, having defeated teams like Go Ahead Eagles (2-1), Fortuna Sittard (5-2), FC Volendam (3-0), and Heracles Almelo (4-3) at the Philips Stadion. A common theme in these matches has been PSV taking the lead by halftime. They have also managed to win six of their last seven away matches after leading at the break.

**Player to Watch and Bet On: Joey Veerman**

After a disappointing European Championship, Joey Veerman has not featured in the national team for some time, but this season he is making a strong case for a return under coach Ronald Koeman. As a pivotal midfielder for PSV, he decided to remain in Eindhoven during the winter break and has been performing exceptionally in the Eredivisie. In the last six league matches, he has contributed three goals and two assists, bringing his season totals to eight for both statistics.

**Head-to-Head Encounters**

In January 2020, NAC Breda bested PSV 2-0 in the KNVB Cup; however, PSV has dominated this rivalry overall. In their last twelve encounters, PSV has won eleven, seven of which were without conceding a goal. Notably, Guus Til has scored three times in the last two matches between these clubs.

**Prediction for PSV – NAC Breda**

PSV is likely to channel their frustrations from the recent European defeat into a strong performance against NAC Breda. A goal fest could well unfold at the Philips Stadion this Saturday. Betting on ‘PSV to win and over 3.5 goals’ offers odds of 2.20 at Vbet.
