PSV Eindhoven preview: Cruising towards another title

After 17 rounds in this Eredivisie season, the defending champions sit at the top of the standings with 15 wins and just two losses. They are currently six points ahead of the next best team, Ajax, so things are going according to plan for PSV Eindhoven in the league and a win over the in-form AZ Alkmaar would certainly raise the team's confidence even more.

Meanwhile, Rick Karsdorp, Isaac Babadi, Sergino Dest, Couhaib Driouech, and Adamo Nagalo are on PSV's injury list heading into this match.

Predicted lineup: Benitez (GK), Ledezma, Flamingo, Boscagli, Junior, Schouten, Tillman, Saibari, Lang, de Jong & Perisic

Player to watch: Luuk de Jong

With seven goals and four assists in the league this season, the experienced Dutch forward has been one of PSV's key offensive weapons in the Eredivisie. Furthermore, we already prompted de Jong to score in this game as one of our recommended bets, so he's clearly our player to watch in this game.
