Ajax won, PSV won, Feyenoord won, AZ won. All the top four teams won this week and that is a very difficult job for the ones following because they wanted the teams above them to lose but that just didn't happen. I guess it is going to be tough for AZ to start realizing that they are not going to end up with anything this season, it is possible that they will finish fourth. They had a hope that they could go further this season because it looked like the top teams were missing some chances, but it is not going to happen.

We know Feyenoord will be the winners of this season, and AZ will be fourth as well, the only thing that is left right now is to see which team will be second and which team will be third, Ajax or PSV? That is still up for debate.

For one of the two it is definitely bitter not to get into the Champions League, but on the non-championship way it will be very difficult for both in the PlayOff, Ajax would probably have even better chances than PSV because of the better seed. But financially, Ajax will be better off because of the high sales last year.

All three teams won yesterday, Ajax has the better goal difference than PSV, but this round Ajax will play against PSV, the second place will be decided, the winner of this match will probably be vice-champion, AZ has the fourth place as good as secured, Twente showed a lot of weakness at the end and have also fallen behind Sparta.

In second half Volendam done impressive job and try their best for having one point but PSV were still good to steal all three points and now having good chance for the stealing of second spot as next week we have match between PSV vs Ajax at Philips Stadion Eindhoven which is good advantage for them because their form at home is amazing and Ajax can lose points at home which will surely going to help PSV for having second spot in league.

Ajax won against Emmen by 3 - 1, and with this win now they are at the second spot with 62 points but having better goals difference form the PSV which is also having the same number of points.

In the other matches of the day, we saw that there were plenty of goals again.Feyenoord won 3-0 against their relegated opponent.We can say that they were the dominant side throughout the match.They took 25 shots in the match and converted 3 of them into goals.They did not allow Ajax to close the point difference and they are taking firm steps towards the championship. PSV, on the other hand, got 3 points by beating their relegation zone rival 3-2 away from home.They are in a race with Ajax for the worst 2nd place, so they have no chance to lose points anymore.Volendam had to get points from this match to avoid relegation, but they failed.

Apparently easy how Feyenoord won the away match against Cambuur today. This is also the big difference between Feyenoord and the other top teams. Other teams have the greatest difficulty in winning against such opponents, while Feyenoord has convincing victories every week. And that will not change in the next game. It has become an individual between Ajax and PSV, and it can go either way. I think it is impossible for PSV to keep Xavi Simons at the club. If PSV make it to the CL, Simons may have a little more motivation to join the club.

In the matches played today, we saw that the teams in the championship race won without losing points.AZ Alkmaar took 3 points away with 3 goals.Alkmaar, who scored 2 goals in the first half, broke the match here.Fortuna sittard's job became difficult from this minute and already failed to turn the match around.Ajax, on the other hand, defeated its relegation zone rival 3-1 and got 3 points.Emmen's defeat in a match where they needed points shows that things are getting worse.We can say that stressful days will start slowly for them.

Only five weeks to go in the season and the gap with Feyenoord is 8 points for Ajax and PSV both. This is a really difficult task to perform for these two teams from now on. Feyenoord are playing very dedicatedly by continuing to win every single one of their matches remaining. If I checked it correctly they have been on a winning streak of nine matches in the Eredivisie. This team absolutely deserve to be the champions this season with this high level performance.

They don't have big difficulties in focusing on the league and the Europa League at the same time as well. As you said they have already captured a good advantage by winning 1-0 against Roma. Their job is still difficult though but I don't think they will give up easily at all. This is the most successful season for them in the recent times certainly.

We don't have to expect any miracles from Cambuur either. They're just not good enough for that. But a goal can still fall just right for this team. It is a dream season for Feyenoord. The current situation allows them to freewheel to the championship, and they are also in good shape in the EL due to a hard-fought home win over AS Roma. I just don't think Arne Slot will stay with Feyenoord next season, a success coach just like Ten Hag will make a switch to the EPL. There he will earn at least 3 or 4 as much and he will have a top team under his wing.

Not much spectacle so far at the match between Cambuur and Feyenoord. Feyenoord is the better team as expected, but it is only 0-1 and so Cambuur is still in the race. I don't expect it to be another game in the 2nd half. If we quickly get the 0-2 and 0-3 then the resistance is broken. Would be nice for the tension if Cambuur managed to turn the 0-1 deficit into a 2-1 lead, but how realistic would that be? I think a very small chance. It doesn't matter for the title fight anyway. Cambuur also has little to gain and to lose.

ya.ya.yo!

PSV won, but that was definitely not a convincing match either. The main thing is to collect the points now in this final phase of the competition. Beautiful football is no longer important now. Either PSV or Ajax will have a dramatic season if they cannot enforce qualification for CL. Ajax could still absorb it financially, but PSV has a much smaller budget of course. Volendam did its best today, but it just wasn't good enough. Twente also lost again today and has fallen back hard, especially after the winetrstop. Probe, they seemed to have potential to reach the top 3 places. RKC is the surprise of the season so far.

PSV seems to be the first of the three teams with 3 points, even if only very close, in the 85th minute, but PSV has already led 2:0 and Volendam seems not to give up so easily, it is now only 3:2 for PSV. But Ajax must also first win tonight, Feyenoord has enough advantage and the game is not so decisive.

We have only six matches remaining in this season with mostly all things settled, and just routine procedure is going to leave Feyenoord is the Champions with fight for second and third spots are left any team can go ahead for the second spot just better performance on match day required for this after checking remaining fixtures I have feeling Ajax will be at the second spot and PSV have to end with another Europa Cup place because they were not good in this season and Ajax which sell their few best players suffered but have better recovery which allow them for the second spot.

Now after end of this season things could be manageable for both top Dutch clubs because they need to improve their quality for the next season and better performance, hopefully we will have Feyenoord in Champions League with the best available quality players for the best result.

yesterday's match results:

excelsior 2 - 1 G ahead eagles
waalwijk 2 - 1 groningen
rotterdam 4 - 0 heerenveen

today there will be 5 matches that must be followed, I choose PSV, Feyenoord, Ajax, twente, alkmaar on bet, it seems we can predict the winner.

Ajax and PSV have no chance of losing points. It should be noted that if they lose points, they will be out of the race in the last 6 weeks. At the moment, Ajax and PSV have equal points and we should say that they will compete for the 2nd place at worst. We can watch the struggle of 2 teams that do not want to lose points for the 2nd place that will go to the Champions league qualification until the last week.

 

if ajax loses tomorrow and Feyenoord then Feyenoord could already prepare to celebrate, but if both teams win in tomorrow's games then it will still need more games for Feyenoord to celebrate, although in theory with this weak ajax I don't see ajax not losing in the remaining games and Feyenoord losing in many games in the remaining games, that's why I also see Feyenoord as champions this season, it will be very strange not to see ajax in the champions league if PSV manages to stay in second place, which The strangest and most unexpected thing that could happen would be to see PSV being the team that will finish in second place, I very much doubt that AZ will be able to stay in second place

the biggest fight now will be played between ajax and PSV in the fight for second place, what's funny about that is that ajax and PSV are the two biggest teams that score the most goals, ajax scored 76 goals and PSV scored 75 goals, they only had problems in defence, but they don't have a big difference in goals conceded when compared to Feyenoord, I think PSV are a little better than ajax when it comes to consistency and that's what will make ajax not even finish in second place , betting on ajax is something very dangerous, I don't even bet on them anymore this season

Most of the important matches in the Dutch league will be played tomorrow and after these matches we will slowly see who will be the champion.Feyenoord is still 8 points ahead and will go to cambuur away tomorrow.Cambuur is in the relegation zone and I don't think it will be a very difficult match for Feyenoord.Ajax will fight with emmen.Emmen is also in the relegation zone and if they don't get points from this match, the troubled process may start for them.

We are slowly approaching the end of the season. Feyenoord has delivered a great performance. So you see how much influence a trainer can have on his selection. Arne Slot has really done an awful lot of work and thanks to him Feyenoord is alive again. Since Erik ten Hag left Ajax, that has also become a mess. Better Poz has made a kind of half-open statement that he would like to talk to the club, but it seems that Ajax itself is not interested in Bosz, a pity. for Bos, the players but also for the supporters.

ya.ya.yo!

Excelsior was able to secure their position from the relegation zone for a while after they won against Go Ahead Eagles. Then, FC Emmen overshadowed them in 16th place (relegation play-off). In my opinion, there will be no chance for FC Emmen to take 15th place again from Excelsior this week, because they will play Ajax away, it will be a miracle if they can win against Ajax.

Boring matches seen this week. But it can't always be a spectacle. Have people seen what happened in the Netherlands in a lower league between NAC and Willem II? Fireworks were thrown on the field (as we see more and more often). The stadium speaker then issued a general warning that the duel would be stopped and if supporters misbehaved again with throwing fireworks, the match would be permanently stopped. When Willem II made the 0-1, fireworks were thrown again and the match was over. A brand value decision, because we were only in the 79th minute. But maybe that's the way to stop football hooligans?

In the opening match of the week, excelsior- go ahead eagles met.The home team, which is in the relegation zone, had no choice but to win.There was no goal in the first half and both teams started the second half fast.The home team scored within 10 minutes of the start of the second half and took a 1-0 lead.7-8 minutes later, the away team, who equalized the situation, responded early and scored again 4 minutes later and won the match 2-1.With this victory, we can say that excelsior, who made his points 27, took a breath.
