Feyenoord vs PSV Eindhoven: Tips, Odds, and Match Preview
Feyenoord have one last chance to keep their dreams of reaching the UEFA Champions League phase without the need of a playoff alive. Still, for that to happen, they’d have to secure a win over PSV Eindhoven and keep their winning streak alive until the end of the campaign while waiting for other results.
The significance for PSV Eindhoven is even bigger, though. They sit four points behind Ajax with three matches left in the campaign, so the only way they can keep their title chances alive for another week is by winning here in Rotterdam. Both teams have a lot to play for in this contest.
Final Chance for Feyenoord
Feyenoord must win here to keep their UCL dreams alive, but they can rely on their record to feel confident about their chances of securing the three points. The Rotterdam giants enter this game on a seven-winning streak across all competitions.
In fact, Feyenoord's most recent loss came against Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League, but when it comes to domestic competitions, Feyenoord are undefeated since Feb. 5, with their last loss coming against none other than PSV (W9, D2) in the quarterfinals of the KNVB Beker.
Feyenoord Injury & Suspension News
Feyenoord will be seriously depleted ahead of this contest. They’ll be without Justin Bijlow (knee), Jordan Lotomba (leg), Chris Nadje (foot), Bart Nieuwkoop (leg), Calvin Stengs (ankle), Quinten Timber (knee), Shiloh Zand (knee) and Julian Carranza (undisclosed).
Trick Trees Hope to Keep Title Hopes Alive
PSV Eindhoven know a win here would guarantee them a spot in the UCL league phase for the 2025-26 season. However, the Eindhoven club has bigger goals in mind. They know a win on Sunday would keep their title chances alive regardless of what happens with Ajax and their match against NEC Nijmegen.
PSV have a psychological advantage ahead of this match, as they've won their last two H2H meetings against Feyenoord while also going undefeated in their last four over the course of the 90 minutes (W2, D2). Plus, PSV are on a three-game winning streak away from home while scoring three goals in each of those wins.
PSV Eindhoven Injury & Suspension News
Rick Karsdorp (knock), Wessel Kuhn (knee), Ricardo Pepi (knee), Lucas Pérez (illness), Ismael Saibari (undisclosed) and Jerdy Schouten (knee) are all sidelined for this contest.
Feyenoord vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction
This is going to be a back-and-forth match, and although both teams will be missing key players, all signs point to this match being a goalfest at De Kuip. PSV have a slight edge, though, mainly based on their form and the recent H2H track record. They should get the win here.
