Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Match outcome: PSV to win — 1.37
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Total goals: Over 2.5 — 1.54
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Combo: PSV to win +Emmen total yellow cards: over 1.5 — 2.27
PSV bounced back to Eredivisie winning ways when they beat Vitesse at home 1-0 on Saturday evening. There’s a chance they can extend their winning run against Emmen, who lost 3-1 to NEC away from home.
Although PSV’s last game ended with 1-0, Emmen lost 3-1 away from home on Saturday. Two of PSV’s last three games ended with over 2.5 goals and the same can be said Emmen. For this reason, this game could end with over 2.5 goals.
This is somewhat tricky. Emmen have received a total of two yellow cards in their last three matches. They received one in their last two Eredivisie games but facing PSV at home is likely to trigger them into making some reckless tackles, hence recording at least two yellow cards.
have only won two out of 17 matches in the Eredivisie. They have won just once in their last five league matches and for this reason they are in the relegation zone, 16th with 12 points after 17 games.
PSV bounced back to winning ways with a tight 1-0 win over Vitesse. They have won two of their last five matches in the Eredivisie and they occupy the 2nd position with 35 points after 17 matches.
There’s a massive difference in form between both teams. PSV have won 11 out of 17 Eredivisie games. They head into this game as the favourites, hence expecting them to get an easy win.
I’m not confident Emmen will score against PSV, hence backing PSV to do the scoring.
Because this game is likely to end with over 2.5 goals, I think it’s safer to back this game to finish with at least two goals.
