Topic: Eredivisie 23/24 - discussion thread - page 36. (Read 16280 times)

Ajax failed to defeat their opponent despite playing well.Ajax closed the first half with a 1-1 draw against Excelsior and fell behind at the beginning of the second half and could not get the 3 points despite a good game.It is a sad result for Ajax who dominated the match and had no difficulty in getting into goal position.The return of these points lost in the first weeks can be heavy, so the importance of the 2 points lost here will be more clearly understood when we enter the last weeks.PSV will play Vitesse on the road.It's not an easy game for PSV.They may have trouble giving everything to the game because they are tired of the Champions League, but I think they will win, even if by a small margin.I'm undecided whether Vitesse will score goals or not, so I can bet directly on PSV.

The more i see it the more i think, what a shame are French team playing in europe, you cant be so bad, also having PSG spending millions and they cant make a decent tournament, Marseille always strugling against weakers teams, like we saw the other day agains Panatinaikos.

Eredivisie teams allways make a really good performance in European tournaments, its one thing to feel proud.

The Eredivisie has done very well in the international arena in recent years, in the past you didn't hear anything except from Ajax and PSV. Therefore, I assume that the quality in general has increased a lot.

Feyenoord used to be a name, but unfortunately they were also bad for many years, I hope it stays that way now.

The fact that Eredevise got fifth spot shows that they are doing good consistently and thats what matters. Just because one team could end up being at a high place never means anything, but if you end up with some teams doing very well then you are going to get higher place. Look at France, they have PSG doing great, better than any eredevise team probably, but at the end of the day they are the only one and fail to get wins.

On the other hand, teams at Eredevise may not be at UCL, but they are at europa or conference league and they are doing great, that's the most important part and should be considered the benefit without a doubt. I get that it's going to matter but as long as they get a win, where they get it doesn't matter.

TOP 4 is not achievable for the Eredivisie in my opinion, but it is exciting to see how the Eredvisie has improved especially against Portugal and France, before only Ajax and PSV scored the big points for the Eredivisie and now several teams score as you can clearly see the last 2 years. PSV was simply stronger than Sturm over the two games.

I was very surprised to only see one draw in the round, and that one draw was one not so predictable, the last champion Feyenoord cant wina gainst a very weak team, i said it before but like always Feyenoord can maintain the level after a good season. I know its only one game, but i can see the same as always.

A few days ago I questioned myself a lot about the reason why the bookmakers were giving odds of @1.16 in case feynoord and ajax won, I even imagined that ajax would have more difficulty in winning the game against heracles, but to my surprise ajax somehow won like in the old days when they won games by scoring a lot of goals, no doubt this was a good way for ajax to start the league and their fans must be very happy and confident that this season the team will have good performance. but the same cannot be said of feynoord who had a draw in a game in which one of his players received a red card very early, even with greater possession of good feyenoord was unable to score a goal

something i also noticed about feyenoord's game is that they had 22 shots but only managed to hit 6 shots on target, its a bad performance, i'm wondering if they had played all 90 minutes with 11 players if that would have made any difference in the result or the resolute would be the same, I know that these are the first games of the league and drawing conclusions early could mislead me, but looking at the results of this day it seems to me that the candidates for the title this season will be ajax and PSV, feyenoord I don't think I'll be able to be champions again

we'll see how feyenoord do in the next game, but don't have high expectations for feyenoord this season. AZ won in their game against Go ahead eagles, in a game in which AZ scored 5 goals, honestly it was a be, bad game for Go ahead eagles, a humiliating defeat like this precisely in the first game of the season is not something that the Go ahead eagles fans would like to watch, unfortunately that's what Go ahead eagles fans watched. and the AZ fans, without a doubt, must have been very happy with this result precisely in the first game of the league

I think i said it before, but again after seeing and confirm what i thinked, PSV this year/season its the team to beat i think, with the names they have plus the management of Peter Bozs they can make a lot this year, we see a little example of what they can do on SUpercup and in the game for european competition against Sturm Graz, they killed it, and it wasnt an easy one.

similar here, and I like to see discussion about Dutch teams performing in European competitions, as long as it is being held on Dutch teams

PSV had good start, AZ as well, but this is just a beginning and it is expected from them to be good
maybe Ere can even push Ligue 1 from top5 leagues in future, due to lousy results that French teams have in Europe

It is legitimate that one should not drift too much into off-topic, but it is not primarily about the Champions League but about the participants of the Eredivisie in international competitions and about the UEFA 5-year ranking of the Eredivisie participants. Anyway, this is my approach.

Man, i know you are trying to keep clean the thread but our message wasnt off topic, Eredivisie doesnt start yet and we are talking about one team form the league, and this its important to see if them are gonna put the same start line up for first game on league depending on the result of UCL.

PSV beat sturm in the first leg game and it was a rather funny victory, to be honest, PSV had 71% possession of the ball, while their opponent sturm had 29% possession, PSV had 21 shots and 11 shots were on target while sturm had only 9 shots and 2 shots on target, PSV scored 4 goals while sturm scored only 1 goal. this shows that there is a great superiority of PSV in relation to sturm. honestly I see PSV also winning the second leg. but as you said psv's biggest obstacle will be in the next stages, if they play against braga their chances of winning will be good

that's because braga is not as strong as in past seasons, although in the portuguese league last season they created a lot of headaches for the main teams in the portuguese league, i'm talking about porto, benfica and sporting, now if PSV is going to play against opponents like galatasaray or then against ranger then psv will have a chance to lose against these two teams I mentioned, they need to hope to play with weak opponents, only having that kind of luck would make PSV go further and in European competitions luck is something very important

---

this weekend we will have the return games, PSV will play against a less strong opponent, ajax is in the same situation, they will play against a less strong opponent, feyenoord also has a good chance of winning in their first game, I believe that in this first round the big teams are very lucky and they all came out victorious, in the second round the big teams will also beat their opponents, that means that the big team that loses points in those first rounds will hardly be able to catch up with the other big teams , I'm wondering whether or not I should bet on ajax

You both guys are on wrong place because this thread is dedicated to Eredivisie, so please just talk about Dutch League and related cups not about Champions League and if you are interested to talk about this Champions League then join here for further talk and updates, thanks.

Yeah, the game its gonna start really soon, For me PSV will dominated the game easily, Sturm can be a solid team but nothing more. Noa LAng plus Luuk de Jong on the offensive can make a really good duet.

We are gonna see the real power of Peter Bozs guys.

I am already curious about the first leg tonight, Sturm Graz (as already mentioned) are already in good form in the Austrian League, PSV should not take the game too lightly then.

According to an article from an Austrian fan platform, coach Bosz has already remarked that PSV must be careful of Sturm's counterattacks.

PSV-Trainer Bosz: „Müssen vor den Sturm-Kontern aufpassen“

The last time PSV qualified for the Champions League group stage was the 2018/19 season. Since then they haven't been able to reach beyong playoffs. They were a more successful team in the past when it comes to the Champions League. But now maybe they can go for the group stage finally.

Because last season was pretty solid for PSV as they fought with Feyenoord for the Eredivisie championship. If they can keep the same ambition level this season too then this can be a big help to make it.

By the way most probably their next opponent would be Rangers or Braga if they eliminate Sturm Graz. Next round will be a real challenge for them.

Tomorrow PSV will meet Sturm in the Champions League qualifiers, Sturm are underdogs but should not be underestimated by PSV, currently the best team in Austria after RedBull Salzburg. The possible opponents of PSV and Sturm in the next round are one of the winners of the following matches.

Rangers FC (SCO) / Servette FC (SUI)
SC Braga (POR) / FK TSC Bačka Topola (SRB)

Things went sideways for Ajax last season and we saw them in this much of a desperate situation for the first time in the recent years. Especially after Erik ten Hag left the team things started to go upside down for this team. Not only that of course. They replaced many players from the squad that were dominant in the league as well.

This didn't work very well for Ajax either. Now it is going to be a fresh start by this season. Ajax have changed many coaches recently so let's see if the current one can carry them to the title race in this league again. But becoming the champions is still not easy at all while their top rivals are doing pretty good.

Yeah it was strange to see only one goal in the match.

Peter Bosz its an amazing manager, if he can made the players follow correctly his directives we can see a very strong PSV, a sure title contender, but lets see what happen, because in Lyon he doesnt have that hand.

yes i saw about bayern, but what made me write this post is that in the case of bayern they are a very strong team, even when they fall in performance in the bundesliga they still manage to beat their opponents, just look at the results of the friendly games of the bayern: yesterday bayern beat liverpool, bayern despite having lost in the game against city, it was not a crushing defeat, on the contrary it was a somewhat balanced game, with manchester city having greater possession of the ball. about atlético madrid, i also see this odd @1.28 a big exaggeration in my opinion atlético madrid is not much superior to granada, in many seasons atlético madrid are unstable, it would not surprise me that in this game they have a lot of difficulties in winning

granada has been doing very well in these friendly matches, but we can't say the same about atlético madrid who, after beating manchester city, lost a draw against getafe, as for manchester city, most of the times i saw them they are a little inconsistent in the first games until the middle of the season that start to be very strong and burley is not a team to be underestimated, I see that this odd will increase during the game. now talking about ajax, if we look at the results of ajax friendly games we have the following: 5 games, 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, and in their last game they lost against a small team from the bundesliga

That's why I found it strange that the bookmakers were putting odds of @1.16 when last season ajax were a disaster and nothing guarantees that this season we won't see the same thing, and when I look at their performance in friendly matches, I don't see this odd of 1.16 as something I would feel safe to put on my parlay, and it is more likely that the value of the odd increases during the course of the game, Feyenoord lost yesterday in the cup game against PSV and from what I could see from their friendly games, they can win in their first game, and for me I see that it would be worth it to put them in my parlay
