PSV vs Almere City Prediction & Betting Tips | 27/01/2024 | Football

Posted on by Matthew Reynolds

We anticipate the outcome of this Netherlands Eredivisie game to be as follows:

PSV

PSV

Almere City

Almere City

The match between PSV and Almere City at Philips Stadion will be a classic underdog story. Despite dropping two points in a draw with Utrecht, the league leaders have a chance to bounce back with a win. Morocco’s Ismael Saibari is away on international duty and there are no new injury concerns for the home team. Veteran forward Luuk de Jong is likely to be the main striker for the hosts.

Almere City, on the other hand, were not in action at the weekend. De Zwarte Schapen did well to beat Vitesse and Volendam in the previous two league matches, but they will have a mountain to climb against PSV, who aim to keep their 100% record at home intact. Norway attacker Kornelius Hansen is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the KNVB Beker defeat to Vitesse. In the first half of the season PSV rolled over Almere City 4-0.

The game will take place on January 27th, 2024 at 6:45 PM.

Prediction:
3-0

Player in focus (Luuk de Jong):

Luuk de Jong

Luuk de Jong, a 26-year-old striker from the Netherlands, is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most lethal scorers due to his impressive goal-scoring record in matches. He started his football journey at De Graafschap in 2008, but quickly transferred to Twente after just one year.

He scored 39 goals in 76 games while playing in the league, leading to a move to Borussia Monchengladbach. Unfortunately, his time in Germany was not successful. In an effort to revive his career, the Bundesliga club loaned him to Newcastle United. However, his time with the English club was even more disappointing, resulting in a complete disaster. De Jong played in 12 games but was unable to score a single goal for the Magpies.

After going back to the Netherlands and joining PSV Eindhoven, the 26-year-old striker has been very successful, scoring over 50 goals in less than 90 games for the team.

Highlighted Team (PSV):

PSV

PSV is a pro soccer team located in Eindhoven, Netherlands. They compete in the top division of Dutch soccer, called Eredivisie. Their home games are held at Phillips Stadium, which has a capacity of 35,000. With a history spanning 100 years, PSV has established itself as one of the top three clubs in the country, alongside Ajax and Feyenoord, dominating the Eredivisie.

Renowned for producing up-and-coming global talents, PSV has nurtured numerous soccer legends such as Ruud Gullit, Ronald Koeman, Romario, Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and most recently Arjen Robben. The team, nicknamed “The Peasants,” takes great pride in Eindhoven’s provincial identity and embraces their Brabantian roots. This unique aspect sets them apart from larger clubs in major Dutch cities.

The Peasants have a total of 23 championships in their domestic league and have won 9 KNVB Cup trophies. They have also achieved success on the European stage, winning two major titles: the European Cup in 1987-88 and the UEFA Cup in 1977-78.
