Go Ahead Eagles lock horns with PSV Eindhoven in the penultimate round of games in the Eredivisie on Sunday. The two sides are in opposite halves of the points table.
Melvin Boel’s Go Ahead are fresh off a 2-2 draw at Sparta Rotterdam. Following Sparta’s opener on the cusp of half-time, Victor Edvardsen equalised six minutes into the second period.
Thanks for the submission!
Sparta reclaimed the lead in the 57th minute through Tobias Lauritsen, only for Go Ahead to peg them back once again – with Julius Dirksen 13 minutes from time – to force a share of the spoils. Following a third straight draw, the Eagles remain 11th in the standings, with 38 points from 32 matches, winning eight.
Meanwhile, Peter Bosz’s PSV are coming off a 2-2 draw at former champions Ajax at the weekend. After Ricardo Pepi’s first-minute opener was cancelled out by Anton Gaaei 10 minutes later, the Farmers were on course for victory when Myron Boadu put them ahead in the 77th minute, only for Mika Godts to snatch a 92nd-minute equaliser.
With a three-game winning run snapped, the already crowned Eredivisie champions are a whopping 17 points clear at the top, with 78 points from 32 games, winning 25.

Go Ahead Eagles vs PSV Eindhoven prediction
The two sides have had contrasting campaigns. While Go Ahead are slated to finish mid-table, PSV were crowned the Eredivisie champions more than a month ago, setting a record for the earliest triumph in the Dutch top flight.
In terms of head-to-head, the Farmers – who completed a three-peat this year – have a lopsided record in the fixture in the last two decades. However, while Go Ahead have been decent at home of late, PSV’s form on the road has been up and down.
PSV have nothing to play for, while Go Ahead beat the serial winners at home in the league in their most recent meeting, the champions should do enough to eke out a narrow win.
