Returning to Eredivisie action following a two-legged Conference League playoff with Sion, Ajax produced arguably their most complete performance of the season, cruising to a 4-0 victory over Telstar at the BUKO Stadion on Sunday.
New boss Michel remains unbeaten in nine competitive matches (W7, D2) since his appointment, and the 50-year-old now has the chance to further endear himself to the Ajax faithful in Saturday’s clash with their biggest rivals.
Albeit having played one game fewer, De Godenzonen currently trail PSV by three points, a gap that would double if the Amsterdam giants suffer defeat this weekend.
However, Saturday’s hosts are unbeaten in their last five meetings with PSV, although both encounters last season ended in 2-2 draws.
Having scored in each of his last three appearances, Tolu Arokodare has quickly endeared himself to Ajax supporters.
The Nigerian now aims to become the first Ajax player to net in four consecutive competitive matches since Brian Brobbey’s five-game streak between December 2023 and January 2024.
After suffering a 4-0 defeat to AZ Alkmaar in the Super Cup and opening their Eredivisie campaign with a 2-2 draw against Fortuna Sittard, PSV Eindhoven took some time to find their rhythm this season but have since bounced back with three consecutive victories.
Their most recent win was by far the most dominant, as Peter Bosz’s men came from behind to thrash FC Utrecht 6-1, moving up to second place, two points adrift of the only team with a perfect record, AZ Alkmaar.
De Rood-witten’s attacking firepower was key to their title triumph last season, and while PSV remain without a clean sheet, they currently lead the Eredivisie in goals scored with 15.
That is despite losing Ismael Saibari and Joey Veerman – their top two contributors for direct goal involvements in 2025-26.
With their Champions League opener against Shakhtar Donetsk to follow Saturday’s clash, the away side must get the balancing act right as they prepare to kick off continental duties.

Whispers predicts: Ajax 2-2 PSV Eindhoven
There is little to separate the sides, so we are backing a draw for the third consecutive meeting at 11/4 (3.75).
That said, recent meetings have been high-scoring affairs, so over 2.5 goals at 1/3 (1.33) and both teams to score at 3/10 (1.30) are appealing options.
PSV's Ruben van Bommel has scored in both of his away league appearances this season and is 12/5 (3.40) to extend that streak.
> Draw at 11/4 (3.75) | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS – Yes at 3/10 (1.30) | Likelihood: Probable
> Over 2.5 goals at 1/3 (1.33) | Likelihood: Probable
> Ruben van Bommel to score anytime at 12/5 (3.40) | Likelihood: Probable
