Ajax vs PSV Eindhoven prediction

THE FORECAST

PSV is higher in the standings and has better recent form (WWD vs. DW), while Ajax is dealing with significant injuries in defense (Sutalo, Kaplan, Blind, Van Axel Dongen), which makes the back line vulnerable against PSV's attacking output of an average of 3 goals per match. The transfer activity at Ajax with many incoming and outgoing players suggests a squad that has not yet fully crystallized, while PSV despite the absence of Schouten and Veerman in midfield still has sufficient quality; the mild weather conditions do not represent a particular factor for either playing style.
