Start the game for AZ x PSV

PSV Eindhoven now need a point to secure a place in the top two and a spot in the Champions League playoffs, as they are three points above third-place Ajax, who have a slightly better goal difference.

Should Ajax avoid a late season slip-up, AZ will be encouraged by the fact that they have secured their place in the Europa Conference League, having reached the semi-finals of the competition this season before losing to West Ham United.

On the other hand, PSV Eindhoven failed to mathematically confirm their Champions League qualifying spot by drawing 3-3 with Heerenveen last Sunday.
Prior to that, PSV were on an eight-game winning streak in all competitions, a streak that led them to win their 11th KNVB beker title thanks to a penalty shootout victory over Ajax.

AZ Alkmaar ensured that their quest for Europa League qualification came to an end by defeating 10-man Nijmegen 3-0 when the two sides met last Sunday.
Pascal Jansen's side are now five games in a row without a loss in the Eredivisie, winning four and drawing one since a 1-0 defeat in April to Sparta Rotterdam.

Argument was also: "we have put up a series with these 11". Is not true because in half of the games the points were gained after bringing in Fabio Silva, Hazard and Guti.

Benitez, Mwene, Ramalho, Branthwaite, Van Aanholt, Sangaré, Til, Veerman, El Ghazi, De Jong, Xavi Simons.

Playing at home in this Dutch season, AZ is only the fifth best home team in the competition, with 32 points from 16 games. They have nine wins, five draws, and two defeats on their home turf.

PSV is on a long unbeaten streak. At the moment, they are 16 games unbeaten, a period in which the team won the Dutch Cup title, beating Ajax in the final. The last negative result was a 3-0 away defeat against Sevilla in the first leg of the Europa League round of 16. A week later, PSV won 2-0 in the return leg, but could not avoid elimination.

Taking only the Dutch league matches into account, PSV have not lost in 15 games. Their last loss in the Dutch league was a 1-0 defeat against Emmen in the 18th round. Despite being the best home team in the competition, PSV is the fourth best away team. In 16 games away from home, they have 28 points, with eight wins, four draws, and four losses.

At the other end of the pitch are PSV Eindhoven, currently second in the Eredivisie 2022/23. In 33 rounds of matches, the team has collected 72 points, obtained through a campaign of 22 wins, six draws, and five defeats. The team scored 87 goals and conceded 39 goals.

The team has no more title chances, since Feyenoord Rotterdam confirmed the trophy with rounds in advance. Thus, the only goal for the final round is to secure second place, which gives a place in the qualifying round of the next Champions League.

In order to achieve their goal, the Eindhoven club only need a draw against AZ. After all, third-placed Ajax have 69 points and could only reach 72 if they beat Twente away.

 

AZ Alkmaar is currently fourth in the Dutch Championship with 67 points from 33 games. Their record so far is 20 wins, seven draws, and six losses, with 67 goals scored and 33 goals conceded.

Thus, the club has already secured at least the fourth position, but still has chances to 'steal' the third position from Ajax. Remembering that third guarantees a place in the Europa League qualifying round, while fourth goes to the Conference League qualifying round. That is, it is the difference of a 'division' of European soccer.

In the last five official games they played, counting Eredivisie and Conference League, AZ oscillated a lot: two wins, one draw, and two losses. In fact, these two negative results came against West Ham and led to their elimination from the Conference League semifinals.

The match between AZ Alkmaar and PSV is in the 34th round of the Eredivisie.

In the last round, the Alkmaarians played at home against Heerenveen and were held to a 3-3 draw. PSV opened the scoring in the 14th minute, with Ibrahim Sangaré, but took the lead in the first half. In the 13th minute of the second half, the hosts went down 3-1.

In the last round, the 'Cheeseheads' visited NEC Nijmegen and won by the score of 3-0. In the first half, Swedish striker Jesper Karlsson opened the scoring in the 28th minute. Seven minutes later, what would have been Karlsson's second goal was disallowed by VAR, but before the break, Jordy Clasie made it 2-0 for AZ.
