PSV Eindhoven vs Utrecht prediction:

Key stats

  • PSV have had a rotten February, with just one win in their last four matches.
  • De Lampen have just one clean sheet in ten.
  • However, Utrecht are winless in five.
  • PSV are also unbeaten in nine against their visitors.

Correct score prediction PSV Eindhoven 3-1 Utrecht

We back PSV to return to winning ways in this one, with Utrecht's season beginning to run out of steam.

However, we do expect Utrecht to score at least one, with PSV not boasting a great defensive record in recent months.

Pre-game odds and win probability: PSV overwhelming favourites

HOME: 7/20  (1.35) – 74.1%
DRAW: 9/2 (5.50) – 18.2%
AWAY: 13/2 (7.50) – 13.3%

*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Despite recent roubles, the bookmakers' expected winner in this game is PSV. Their odds of 7/20 imply a huge 74.1% likelihood of victory, a probability we broadly agree with.

Recent H2Hs: Dominance from De Lampen

As is to be expected, given the gap in the historical standings of these two clubs, PSV have been dominant in their fixtures against Utrecht, as was the case in their 5-2 win in December.

In fact, Utrecht have managed just one win over their visitors in their last 25 meetings.

PSV preview: A rare wobble?

Much of this season has gone exactly to plan for PSV, and last month's 3-2 win over Liverpool in the Champions League was the cherry on top.

However, De Lampen have suffered a hangover from that stellar win, with just one win in their last four.

Last weekend saw them drop shock points in a home draw to Willem II, and they lost to Juventus in the Champions League playoffs midweek.

However, they are still unbeaten at home, and have a stellar record against Utrecht. We reckon they'll bounce back.

Predicted lineup: Benitez (GK), Ledezma, Nagalo, Obispo, Malacia, Schouten, Veerman, Perisic, Saibari, Lang, de Jong

Utrecht preview: Have the wheels fallen off?

Utrecht have enjoyed an unprecedentedly profitable Eredivisie season so far. Their 40 points after 22 games is only 10 shy of their tally for the entirety of last season.

The team has overperformed to a very high standard. However, the last few weeks have brought Utrecht back down to earth.

They extended their winless run with a shock home defeat to Almere, who are rock bottom of the league.

We think Utrecht will recover, and still claim European football, but it is a tall order to expect them to bounce back against PSV.

Predicted lineup: Barkas (GK), Horemans, van der Hoorn, Viergever, El Karouani, Engwando, Iqbal, Descotte, Toornstra, Aaronson, Haller

Player to watch: Luuk de Jong

Like a fine Oude Gouda, Luuk de Jong only seems to get better with age. And with Ricardo Pepi out for the season, the veteran striker will continue to be PSV's shining light for a while longer.
