PSV are still in the title race but their only chance of winning the Eredivisie relies on them winning their remaining six matches and Ajax dropping points in multiple games. PSV play host to the division's bottom club this weekend in what should prove to be a routine victory for the Dutch giants.

Key Stats
- Ismael Saibari has scored seven times and provided ten assists in the Eredivisie for PSV this season.

Correct score prediction: PSV 4-0 Almere City
PSV's home games in the Eredivisie this season produce an average of 3.93 total goals and Almere City struggle to score on their travels where they average just 0.57 goals per game, so you can see why we've backed PSV to claim a 4-0 victory this weekend.

PSV preview: Returned to winning ways
PSV were beaten at home by Ajax in what could prove to be the title decider this season but Peter Bosz's side returned to winning ways last time out at Groningen.
Ismael Saibari setup Malik Tillman's opening goal in the 11th minute and a goal from veteran midfielder Ivan Perisic put PSV 2-0 just shy of the half-hour mark. Groningen did pull a goal back before the break but Johan Bakayoko scored the only goal of the second half to wrap up a 3-1 win for the visitors.
Lucas Perez, Jerdy Schouten, Ricardo Pepi and Walter Benitez make up the four main injury concerns for the hosts this weekend.

Defender Hamdi Akujobi is available for selection following a suspension but midfielder Jochem Ritmeester van de Kamp picked up another yellow card during the Zwolle game and is now suspended for one game.

Player to watch: Ismael Saibari
Moroccan midfielder Ismael Saibari is enjoying his best season since turning pro with PSV back in 2020.
The 24-year-old creative midfielder has provided ten assists in the Eredivisie this season, as well as chipping in with seven goals. Saibari has forced his way into the starting lineup much more often this season and has put in some really impressive displays for the Dutch giants.
Saibari has 17 goal involvements in the Eredivisie this season
In a game against the division's bottom club this weekend, we're expecting Saibari to shine and have backed the Moroccan international to score or assist in what should be a routine home win.
