PSV take on the visitors Vitesse at “Philips Stadion” in the gameweek 18 of the Dutch Eredivisie. The match will be played in Eindhoven on Saturday, December 23rd.
PSV showed brilliant results in the recent week, having deserved two lopsided victories in the Eredivisie and the KNVB Beker: 3:0 over Den Haag and 4:1 against Venlo. In the KNVB Beker Phillip Cocu’s side qualified to the quarter-finals while in the Dutch elite division the club is taking the comfortable lead in the table with 43 points collected and 47-20 goal difference being five points ahead the closest chaser. PSV have got 100% results at the home ground: eight clashes played – eight triumphs gained with 24 points earned and 21-5 goal difference.

As for Vitesse, the team has not failed since the 7th of December across three consecutive encounters. Last round the club deserved 1:1 draw against Twente. After 16 games played, the side from Arnhem settles on the seventh place in the Eredivisie standings with 24 points taken and 29-20 goal difference. Vitesse picked up 14 points with 16 goals for and nine goals against in eight away battles, having won only once in five latest clashes conducted on the road.
Since the 15th of March 2014 PSV have gained eight triumphs in a row over Vitesse in all competitions. Taking into consideration the hosts’ statistics in this season in general and in front of their supporters in particular, I believe that Phillip Cocu’s team will deserve three points on Saturday which prolong its leadership in the Dutch elite division table while the club from Arnhem will not be able to break their unsuccessful streak against the local football grand.
Prediction for the match: PSV to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
