the game ended with a victory for ajax, although ajax managed to score 4 goals in this game they conceded 2 goals, this is not a good thing because it shows weakness in the defense of ajax mainly because in the next game ajax will play against the leader of the league that currently has the best defense, having only conceded 22 goals in 24 games, I hope that ajax improve a lot in defense so that in the next game they can leave with a good result, as for SC Heerenveen, this is a bad result for them, but the fact that they managed to score 2 goals is something that deserves a reason to be more motivated for the next games

---

PSV Eindhoven 5 - 2 Cambuur

this result is a little funny because Cambuur is in the last position in the table, but in the last 3 games before this game they managed to score goals in all 3 games and on the other side we have PSV who have been constantly conceding goals, in the case of this game PSV won because they managed to score a lot of goals, but the merit is in Cambuur that even in the last position they managed to score 2 goals, if they improve in defense they could manage to win the games and they would be in a better position in the table

NEC Nijmegen 2 - 2 FC Utrecht

these two teams came into this game with very similar results from the last 4 games, for me the result of this game was very unpredictable, that's why I'm not surprised with this draw, the two teams are fighting to stay in the league, there's no big objects, this result benefits both teams, but NEC needs to win in the next games and hope for the teams in the relegation zone to keep losing games, this is the only way for NEC to stay in the league

Ajax leads 3:1 at the break with a possession of over 60%, I don't think Ajax will lose the game anymore. Ajax will increase the pressure on Feyenoord and PSV, who play first and almost have to win. Feyenoord have to win to keep the lead and PSV have to win than AZ won as well.

I know there is still a long journey ahead. Each team will play 10 more matches. And since the points gap between the teams is small, the points table can change at any time. I know this very well. And this is why my favorite team is the Ajax team. T team is very experienced. And they know very well how to consistently perform well. The performances of Feyenoord, PSV, and Ajax are now quite regular. And so these three teams have a chance to win the title. The Eredivisie has become competitive. The team that consistently plays well and can win the title will win.

When I look at the matches to be played next week, I see that only ajax is going away from the teams in the championship race. PSV will be an easy match for them as they will play the last team in the league. Out of the 4 teams, it seems to me that ajax will be the most difficult team again. Az alkmaar will also be a bit relaxed as they will play the team one above the last team in the league. They should also be in high spirits after beating Lazio during the week.

Yeah, Ajax chances to be winner of this season but any prediction still can go wrong because all teams are doing good job and their performance and quality is also at good level which is helping them for having good connection for the title AZ Alkmaar is also doing good their last night win at Rome against Lazio is also impressive with this look like they are gone have good chance for the next round as well with Feyenoord is also doing good with their next match is against Shakhtar Donetsk which is also good but with the current form of Feyenoord they also can qualify which will be good for the Eredivisie because first time we have top two teams like Ajax and PSV are out of the European competitions and others are still having good results.

After few bad weeks now Ajax is also on good run in Dutch League and their form is giving impression now they are ready for the challenge of title because they have better players and sources, but this season is surely going to be competitive for the top four teams with any prediction is surely not easy.

The Eredivisie league has been very competitive this season. Fourth-placed PSV is just six points behind table-topping Feyenoord. And the important thing is that these four teams are in very good form right now. And I think every team has an equal chance to win the title. So if a team loses points in a match then their position will change in the points table. But my guess is this season's champions will be Ajax or Feyenoord. I consider the Ajax team more favorite. However, they are now second in the points table.

Yes, I just look at the statistic above, and the bet is also leaning toward favorite to Ajax. Heerenven's statistic is not good also even they play as host. Maybe we can see many goals created by Ajax like on September 2022 (5-0), but we can't rule out the fighting spirit of Heerenven players as they play on twente. Maybe if Ajax defender is careless, is not impossible they hold it in draw again.

Just as it is in other leagues. The closeness in points between the top 4 clubs nm the Eredivisie table standing is making it really difficult to predict who will win the title this season. No one wants to be left behind I'm the modern day football. Unlike before where you will have Ajax on the top position in the standing,  leading with more than 10 points, Feyenoord,  Alkmaar, and Psv are really showing interest also and is making the competition much more interesting.

Ajax has been struggling to win match if we look at their last 5 victorious matches despite that they won those encounter I will say it has been difficult for ajax to win with ease, in their previous matches they have good ball possession and shot on target both attacks was also won by them but it wasn't easy for them to go through all those matches, ajax has to do more work in their attack in other to be up and going in future matches.

despite the fact that ajax won in the last 5 games, they are still not as strong as in the past, their defeat in the europa league just confirmed that they are still bad, mainly they have a weak defense and a bad attack that has only worked in the league local, in their last game, they had more possession of the ball, they had a lot of shots, but they couldn't score more than 1 goal, NEC is a very strong team in defense, in the last 4 games of NEC before playing against ajax they only conceded 1 goal, this was a big test to see how good ajax's attack is, after not being able to score many goals against union berlin who also have good defense ajax also couldn't score many goals against NEC

remembering that in January ajax played against NEC and they only managed to score 1 goal too, the game ended in a draw, in my opinion although ajax in the last 5 games managed to win, they still haven't convinced me that they can win the league, but ajax is lucky that the teams in the league are not as strong as the teams in other leagues, so ajax can even be lucky and win the league, but they will win by luck. feyenoord only won because he was lucky that his opponent was reduced to 10 players in the 52nd minute, it's funny that not even playing against a team that had only 10 players in the 52nd minute, feyenoord couldn't score goals, he only managed to score in the 88th minute minutes

All the teams in the championship race won their matches 1-0. An interesting statistic but true. On Friday, Az Alkmaar won 1-0 away from home. It was a difficult match for them but they won even if it was difficult.
Feyenoord, on the other hand, played alone and won with a goal in the last minutes. They had the ball throughout the match and were in a position on their own, but they didn't score until the 88th minute. It would have been sad for them if they had lost points in this match.

Feyenoord win in that duel would put them in front, Ajax win would see their title aspiration up

this season has unusual situation with AZ and Feyenoord still in Europe competition, while Ajax and PSV are out, not so often for Ere divisie
AZ has a match on Lazio today, and this one can be really interesting, after Lazio win over Napoli last Friday

With the performance of top four teams in last few weeks now I am expecting Ajax as the winner of this season because now they are back into business and have enough quality to take the top spot while Feyenoord is surely at the decline with their performance was really poor against relegation zone team Groningen which was give tough challenge to them for win their last game while visitors were playing with 10 men and Feyenoord were still not good to have advantage of this situation.

In coming weeks, most chances we will have Ajax as best team in Eredivisie because they are competing into league only with Feyenoord and AZ Alkmaar both are still have matches into Europa Cup as well which will surely going to have extra energy from these players which is surely going to have big impact on their performance into league as well.

Feyenoord are very lucky. They eventually managed to earn full points from the match. Oussama Idrissi scored the only goal in the 88th minute of the match. It was challenging for Feyenoord to get full points in this match. Groningen played completely defensively. The players of Groningen made only 6 shots in the entire 90 minutes. Feyenoord dominated the entire match. Couldn't score despite attacking a lot. A total of 23 shots were made by Feyenoord's players. However, Feyenoord are now 3 points ahead of Ajax after picking up three points in this match. Despite being at the top of the table, winning the title this season will not be easy for Feyenoord.

So basicaly the trending of this round was winning for 1-0 for the top teams?.

Who can expect that? Really strange, and Feyenoord..... nearly to draw against a relegation Groningen.

All four teams still fighting for the title won this weekend and so the gap between #1 Feyenoord and #4 PSV is only 6 points.



Ajax had a very bad start after the winter break, but are now also no longer represented in Europe and can now fully concentrate on the league. In the round after next (26) there is already a direct duel between Ajax and Feyenoord, there could already be a small preliminary decision.

Ajax is not that good. 2 defeats that is acceptable but 7 draws then you leave 14 points. That's really a lot. And if you add those 2 defeats, you are already talking about 20 loss points. unworthy for a team like Ajax, Feyenoord is at the top but was certainly not the favorite at the start of the competition. PSV and Ajax are both disappointing at the moment, but I do not rule out that Ajax will still become champion. It wasn't good today either, but in the end it's the victory that counts.

This season in Eredivisie, Ajax's form has been very good, they are overall with 14 wins, 7 draws, and 2 losses. This good performance currently  keep Ajax at 3rd position out of 18 teams in the Eredivisie Table, Ajax's home form is good with the following results : 6 wins, 4 draws, and 1 losses. But their today encounter with Nigmejen looks very difficult after all the attempt made by ajax to net a goal proved abortive in the first half, the host team needs to attack constructively in this match so as to get the needed result.

PSV are currently in 4th position in the 2022/23 Dutch Eredivisie, with 46 points from 23 matches played. They have won 14 matches, drawn 4, and lost 5. They have scored 60 goals and conceded 28 goals so far, PSV played against RKC Waalwijk in the Dutch Eredivisie toady, when the match result was a 0-1 PSV away win in favour of PSV but it was very difficult for Psv to win the match they were able to maintain the 1:0 win in the first half and that made them to be victorious.

A difficult victory for PSV, but all points are welcome in the battle for the championship. Then it sometimes doesn't matter how that victory comes about. Feyenoord also won yesterday and Ajax is currently playing at home against NEC with a current 0-0 score. I don't expect that many problems for Ajax, but in Nijmegen I think the match ended in a 1-1 draw. So anything is possible in this competition. We have to wait for Feyenoord's new loss of points, because the gap with Ajax is only 3 points, which is not much of course. Feyenoord strikes every match in the final phase.
