In a top-of-the-table Eredivisie showdown, league leaders Ajax will entertain second-placed PSV at the Amsterdam Arena on Sunday (November 6).
Ajax have a game in hand over PSV and lead them by a point in the standings and have a game in hand. A win will take them four clear at the top. The holders have won their last three games. They're coming off a 4-1 win at RKC Waalwijk, with Brian Brobbey and Steven Berghuis bagging braces.
Ajax did not play in the league last week due to their commitments in the UEFA Champions League, where they beat Rangers 3-1 to book their place in the Europa League knockout round playoffs.
PSV, meanwhile, fell to a 4-2 defeat against Groningen in the Eredivisie a fortnight ago but bounced back with a 3-0 home win over NEC last week. They continued their winning run in the Europa League, winning 2-1 at Bodo/Glimt in midweek to finish behind group winners Arsenal.

- Ajax secured a league double over PSV last season, winning 5-0 at home and 2-1 away. PSV exacted revenge with a 2-1 win in the KNVB Cup final. They also beat Ajax 5-3 in the Johan Cruijff Shield in July.

Ajax vs PSV Prediction
Ajax have a solid home record in the Eredivisie this season, scoring at least four goals in four of five games, and the trend could continue.
PSV, meanwhile, have lost three of their last four Eredivisie away games. They have not won at the Amsterdam Arena since 2015 and may not do so this time as well.
Nevertheless, a high-scoring affair could ensue, but Ajax should come out on top.
