PSV - Ajax

Both teams have similar characteristics this season - both look good in attack, but both are weak in defense. This often costs them points, as Ajax's slip-ups constantly push them further away from the title race, while Heerenveen struggles in the middle of the league table. It's hard to expect a different style of play when these teams meet, as Ajax will undoubtedly push for an attack from the beginning. They cannot afford to play cautiously against their own fans, not only to avoid losing points, but also due to the intense pressure from the media throughout the season. Heerenveen will not simply sit back in defense either, as they are aware of the hosts' weaknesses and their own strengths, which may be their only chance to win points in Amsterdam.
