• Competition: Eredivisie
• Date: 10.08.2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK/21:00 CEST
• Venue: Philips Stadion (Eindhoven)

The competition in the Eredivisie, the strongest level of Dutch football, begins. PSV will defend the title and the season did not start well for them. The club from Eindhoven lost in the Super Cup match against Feyenoord after a penalty. This was a very effective duel with as many as 8 goals. PSV spent the preparatory period in a warm-cold regime. They had 3 wins but lost some pre-arranged matches such as those against Paderborn and Anderlecht.

Waalwijk finished the previous season just above the danger zone, with the same number of points as Excelsior but a slightly better goal difference. It remains to be seen how the team will react at the start of the season, but it is very possible that they will once again be in the fight for survival. The results from the preparatory period are not promising because Waalwijk lost in 3 out of 4 matches played.

PSV vs Waalwijk pick: OVER 3.5 GOALS

It is interesting that these two teams met in the last match of the previous season and PSV won 3-1. Waalwijk have lost 19 of their last 20 matches at this stadium, which is one of the worst traditions in this competition. Perhaps the positive thing is that this is the premiere and the underdog often managed to find a way to upset the favorite in the first match of the season. PSV is primarily a very efficient team, so we expect goals here and perhaps a convincing victory for the hosts
