PSV Eindhoven vs Ajax in Netherlands Eredivisie Round 27

Eindhoven’s Recent Form & Goal Trends

PSV Eindhoven kicked off the season with a bang winning 14 out of their first 16 games. But their performance has taken a nosedive in 2025, with four victories in their last 11 matches across all competitions.

Even with their up-and-down performance, PSV still packs a punch when it comes to scoring on their home turf. They haven’t lost a single Eredivisie game at the Philips Stadion chalking up 10 wins and three draws in 13 matches. What’s more, they’ve found the back of the net at least twice in 12 out of those 13 games.

PSV’s latest league game ended in a 3-0 victory over RKC Waalwijk hinting at a return to their high-scoring form. Yet, their 9-3 total loss to Arsenal in the Champions League exposed defensive weaknesses that Ajax might try to take advantage of.

PSV’s offense spearheaded by Luuk de Jong, Noa Lang, and Ivan Perisic, can break through any defense. However, their defense has faced challenges in recent months managing one shutout in their past eight matches across all competitions.

Ajax’s Recent Form & Goal Trends

Ajax have an impressive record in Dutch league games going 11 Eredivisie matches without a loss (W10 D1). They haven’t lost a league game since early December, and they’ve become one of the top-performing teams in the Netherlands since Francesco Farioli started as manager.

But their European journey ended , as Eintracht Frankfurt knocked them out (6-2 overall) in the Europa League‘s round of 16. This weakness in defense showed up again in their 2-2 tie with AZ Alkmaar in their latest league match hinting that their backline might have some gaps.

Ajax have scored in 13 out of their last 14 games across all competitions showing their offensive power. Brian Brobbey leads their attack, while Kenneth Taylor, Silvano Vos, and Kristian Hlynsson chip in from the middle of the field. This gives them enough punch to challenge any defense.

It’s worth mentioning that Ajax’s two Eredivisie losses this season happened away from home. However, they beat PSV 3-2 in November proving they can go toe-to-toe with their title rivals in high-scoring matches.
