Ajax have improved this season has they have bounced back from their bad season. The way they play and defend this season have improved, and they now even score goals with ease, that is because they rate at which they create chances per game now is insane. We know how superb PSV have been this season but Ajax also is doing incredibly well both home and away so far. Like your said the season is far from over and anything can still possibly happen but sincerely I think PSV will be champions this season, they look unstoppable, they win games with total ease and they are always in control, it doesn’t matter any team they are playing against.

I can’t wait for the second half of the season to commence, a lot of breathe taking actions awaits. Let see what happens after the break.

Last season in the Dutch league, reigning champions PSV broke the record for most points in an Eredivisie season when they went on to accumulate 91 points overtaking Ajax's record in 1997/98 season when they won the league with 89 points. This season, PSV are currently 6 points better than 2nd placed Ajax after 17 league games. Do you think PSV will be able to replicate their impressiveness of last season by retaining the league title this or do you think Ajax will bounce back in the second half of the season and overtake them? Let me read your thoughts

I also think that PSV will become champions again this season, they have been more consistent compared to the other teams, I want to see in the next game if AZ will be able to make PSV lose points, if in this game PSV wins, then I highly doubt that PSV will lose points in the remaining games, next year the only teams that could make PSV lose points in the next games would be AZ or Ajax or Feyenoord

The league is finally more competitive as of Ajax's return to being a title contender.    PSV still have the lead by 6 points in the standings though but we are only in the middle of the season now. Still everything can change anytime. Ajax just need to decrease their point loss rate to minimum from now on.

I really liked Ajax's effort against PSV previously. I mean their last head-to-head as Ajax won by 3-2 home. This should be considered as serious progress. Because until starting to find their best shape again, they had seriously bad results. Including a total defeat against PSV as well. I still feel like PSV will become the champions on one hand.

PSV has always been making sure they are able win their games which will further give them the chance to maintain their top position on the table and always win the league title,  so winning against feyanoord was and wouldn't be a big deal for PSV seeing how they have been performing since this season, they have build some very good a d solid strength too so that added to my confidence in them been able to win certain games.

True and when they can take advantage of the transfer window to bring in players then it will be very helpful and can increase the strength of the team to be even more qualified, here will be one of the leagues that are quite interesting if all this really happens.

Many people think that PSV is the team that holds the strongest control to defend the title, if PSV can win the title easily it will not be surprise, I admit them but I also want to see other team below PSV can rise to compete more iimpressively
Only hope is owned by Ajax, hopefully they can perform as expected in the second half later.

Now we have 2 weeks left in break things could be interesting because now we have Ajax in better shape, and they are capable of giving challenge to PSV for the title race with attacking approach is different, but this could be good time for fans to watch how these two big giants of Eredivisie go for second half of this season.

Feyenoord is challenge for both teams with third spot race could be also good because we have AZ Alkmaar and Utrecht could be not easy opponent for the Feyenoord as these are also having good time and looking for improvement into their European competitions, but top race is surely still alive as PSV and Ajax are going to be had good time even mostly are believed PSV is having advantage but in European Leagues 6 points are never been big difference.

We all miss the Eredivisie league already and the break is just too much, it almost 3 weeks break, I just hope most players don’t abuse this break period and gain much weight during this break. Long breaks like this might cost some teams to lose their foam even some player too. In most other countries it just a week break or maybe 2weeks, in countries like England they don’t even give break, they play matches a day after Christmas which is the Boxing Day, it like a traditional there.

The eredivisie won’t resume now till on 10th of January next year that like 2weeks from now. There are couple of interesting fixture that 10th with PSV taking on AZ Alkamaar, it going to a good match to watch and feyenoord takes on Utrecht, that also another big match too. I hope this long break doesn’t affect PSV foam for they are favorites in winning this title this season.

PSV played very well but on the other hand Ajax also followed with quite impressive improvement, PSV victory with 3 goal against Feneyord was great success, some people considered it difficult match for PSV to win but in fact they win.
Just saw the standings and PSV so far for half season has 15 win with total of 59 goal and only conceded 13 goal, they have many wins with more than 3 goal obtained and PSV is still the only team with the most sharp and dangerous front line players, it seems that what you said is true that PSV will remain win title in the Eredivisie this season.

It was a surprise when in the previous match PSV Eindhoven had to lose narrowly to Herenveen. But fortunately they did not linger from the defeat, where in the next match they were able to achieve a landslide victory over their city rivals, Feyenoord. Likewise with their appearance in the KNVB tournament, where PSV managed to completely shave off their opponents with a landslide score of 8-0. PSV performed quite well this season by being able to top the standings. However, the season is still long, so anything is still possible, and if PSV is unable to maintain its consistency, it is not impossible that its position will be shifted one day, and perhaps the closest candidate who can shift PSV's position is Ajax.

Regarding Untrech, in their last two matches they performed poorly so that they were only able to get one point. When facing Go Ahead Eagle the score ended in a draw, even though Untrech had many opportunities to score more goals, Untrech's position was very advantageous because in that match Go Ahead Eagle only played with 10 men for quite a long time. And so when facing Fortuna Sittard, where Untrech had to lose badly in this match with a score of 5-2. And I hope he can return to his best performance and get more points to maintain his position in the standings

They are the only team that has not drawn a single game this season in the Eredivisie, only winning or losing, and amazingly they have only lost two of their 17 games. They are playing well, and maybe they will win at the end of the season. But in terms of performance and results in the Champions League, they are inconsistent and unsatisfactory, and if they do not win the remaining two games, there is a possibility that this team will not qualify for the playoffs. Feyenoord has performed better in the Champions League than PSV.

As for FC Untrech, in two consecutive seasons this team only managed to finish in 7th place in the standings, but it seems that this season is not the case, they are able to perform better, although in the last few games they have had inconsistent results and I hope this team can perform more consistently, because if not, it is possible that in the near future their position will be shifted by Feyenoord.

For sure PSV have been the most inform team in the Netherland league this season, and they are doing it as well in the champions league. They create a lot of chances in every game they play and they why they are scoring in every game. It not as if they they are defending very well because they concede but I think the philosophy about the team is that they just want to score more than their opponents. They have a couple of tough fixtures after the holiday break but with the way they are playing this season I think they are in a pole position to win the league again this season.

So far Utrecht are having a wonderful season, I know it beyond there expectations, it more than where they expect themselves to be but you can’t take off how brilliant they have been so far. They sit third in the standing, with three points behind Ajax and just a point about feyenoord. They are in a good spot and I think if they can continue like this they will get a spot in European football next season.

PSV is at the top as currently they are defending champions with their consistency give them good advantage all the way but Ajax fightback and improvement in quality also amazing in this season because many were not expecting them to have second spot at the end of first half now things could be interesting, and we will be having good contest in coming rounds while Feyenoord can also join this race even they are not good as we have them few years back.

FC Utrecht is already out of touch and I sure now they will be not came back on third or second spot in near future because after break they are having few challenging games which will give them setbacks these could be enough for them and their journey into top ranks but I still believe they can stay into top 6 because they are also having few good players which can keep things on good level.

I do think Feyenoord is the best team to battle with PSV this season, but they aren't making the league more competitive for PSV as I had expected because Ajax hasn't been playing well since last season. Feyenoord is now behind the league by ten points, they are giving PSV more room to sit at the top. To be honest, it's not an easy task to close that gap. We still have the second half of the season left, and we are not sure if PSV can lose any games right now. However, they lost to PSV by three goals, which was a surprising result because I had expected both clubs to score in that game.


I would be lying if I said I wasn't shocked by Feyenoord's loss to PSV since Feyenoord has been playing well this season and PSV lost their last away game to Heerenveen by a single goal. Because it is a derby match, I believed that PSV would struggle against Feyenoord after seeing the result of their match against Heerenveen. PSV scored three goals to control the game from start to finish. I believe PSV will still win the Eredivisie at the end of the season.

PSV's game in the match against Feyenoord was really good, because PSV's defensive players defended very well, the midfield carried out attacks very smoothly, and the front line was really very sharp in this match. So I'm not surprised that in this match PSV was able to win with a landslide score and without conceding. Meanwhile, Feyenoord actually had several very good opportunities in this match, but due to less than optimal utilization of opportunities, the results could not be converted into goals. So with this victory, PSV is even stronger at the top of the standings, in my opinion it will be difficult to shift PSV's current position. Although Ajax or Utrect also have the opportunity to overtake PSV from the top of the standings. But if, for example, PSV continues to wipe out every match they play, it is certain that Ajax or Utrect will have no hope of overtaking PSV. Because having a difference of 6 points in my opinion is quite large. So in order for Ajax to catch up with the points left behind by PSV, it is clear that PSV must experience at least two defeats, that way, then Ajax's opportunity to overtake PSV can be slightly opened. But this seems a little difficult for PSV to experience.

PSV has become so strong and i like how they are trying to dominate the Netherlands Eredivisie because in the past, Ajax is always the dominant team but i think that PSV has shown great strength for the past few seasons and winning Feyenoord by 3:0 in their last game without allowing Feyenoord to score any goal, shows how formidable they have been. They have great strikers, and they won't drop much in form.

Ajax has made great improvements this season and with their resilience and the fact that they won PSV in their first meeting of the season can equally mean they can become a threat to PSV, after all they used to be the most dominant team in the league so if they overtake PSV at the top, it would not be much of a surprise because they have strong energy to contend the title race against PSV this season. Utrecht is third in the table but i don't see them strong enough to contend the title against Ajax and PSV.

Yes, PSV performed impressively when they beat Feyenoord with a score of 3-0. They were able to dominate the match and their goals came from open play situations. I was impressed with the third goal scored by Tilman. It was a really accurate kick and went to the top left corner of the Feyenoord goal.
The result of this match made PSV 6 points ahead of Ajax in second place. This is not a big difference in points and there is a possibility that Ajax or FC Utrecht could take over the first position. But with PSV's current performance, it seems that it will be difficult for both teams to beat PSV. On the other hand, Ajax's performance is much better this season compared to the previous season. Unfortunately, PSV is their toughest opponent to become champions.

With PSV winning the Derby match against feyenoord I can say for sure that they are clearly going to win the title this season, the derby was one sided as they dominated the play from the beginning to the end and also top with with some goals. It all ended in 3-0 defeat to feyenoord. I know PSV would win the match, they have been is a good foam so far even though the last time they win in this derby was early 2023. They are now 6point ahead of Ajax. PSV will play another derby against AZ Alkmaar immediately after the holiday break, it going to be another big match, It’s a home match so I see them winning this one again.

Noa Lang is such a gem, he is doing it this season, scoring and assisting, dribbling pass opponents like a Brazilian, he has now scored 4 league goals and assisting 7 goals making it 11 goal contribution in 4 appearances in the league. He is my player of the season so far, if he continues like this he will be the player of the season no doubt. He is a key if PSV is going to win the title.

We currently have 6 points difference which is looking not enough but as we have performance of clubs in Eredivisie it's clearly indicating PSV is having edge and can still hold the top spot in next half of this season as well in last 17 games we have 2 defeats for PSV with Ajax is having same number of loses but their 3 draws giving PSV advantage but PSV is having good balance in attack and defense they are surely team to be deserved this spot.

Ajax is also not bad, but they needed time and then in next season we can expect from them to have challenge for title race which is surely going to be not easy for their opponents to hold them Feyenoord could be at third and Utrecht can stay for top 8 spots with their impressive start and balance performance.

The gradual progression with Ajax that is getting them close to the top of the table is impressive for me and i love it because they have at some point become the team almost no one was going to believe in them because of their lingering poor performance in quiet a long while but after they started showing some improvements, its been a realy good one with good and drastic progress with which we can be sure its not going to be a bad season for them by the end of the day
