PSV form and stats

PSV have been very solid at home in the Eredivisie so far, with 18 points collected from 6 matches (6-0-0). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table. After failing to beat FC Emmen here at Philips Stadion, PSV has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.

It's back home for PSV, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Ajax away with the result 2-1. Gutiérrez and de Jong found the net in that victory. Gutiérrez (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.74/10. Gutiérrez scored one goal and had 27 successful passes (of 33 total).

In the game before, a nice away win at Bodø / Glimt. A Europa League match.

Goal fest? Who knows the future, but we do know that 11 of the 13 latest league matches with this club has seen three goals or more.

With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of PSV is on fire here. A stunning 25 from 6 league matches.

AZ form and stats

AZ's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed AZ collect 15 points from their 7 away matches in the Eredivisie. 5 victories and 0 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats). AZ has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

AZ lost away at RKC Waalwijk (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Karlsson, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.62. Karlsson scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 41 successful passes (of 46 total).

Before that match, the victory at home against Dnipro-1 in the Europa Conference League (2-1).

Goal-happy betting people should observe that 8 of this team's 10 most recent league fixtures have ended with at least three goals.

AZ have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 15 goals from 7 away matches. As opposed to that, AZ have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings featuring these teams: PSV won five, AZ triumphed in five and we saw zero draws. eight games with more than 2,5 goals, two matches with under 2,5 goals.
