Aad de Mos gives PSV a good chance of a good result in Sunday’s away match against Ajax. The top clubs meet in the Johan Cruijff ArenA with the top position of the Eredivisie as stake: after the nine matches so far, Ajax has collected one point more than PSV. De Mos thinks that the outside world will designate Ajax as a favorite, but he himself suspects that PSV’s playing style will prove more effective.

“I think all analysts and the media will say that Ajax is a favorite because they play at home,” the former coach of both clubs said in his weekly conversation with the club. . “Not for me. What has the best chance of success at the moment: attacking football or the counter? Based on the last two matches of Ajax, I see PSV’s counter as the most dangerous and effective.”

Ajax lost 0-1 to FC Utrecht before the international match and came away well on Saturday with a 0-2 victory over sc Heerenveen. PSV won 2-1 against Sparta Rotterdam and 3-1 against PEC Zwolle, although those victories came late in the game. Before they compete against each other, a European poster awaits. The result of this also affects Sunday’s top match, De Mos knows.

“Of course you are still dependent on the results of Ajax against Borussia Dortmund and those of PSV against AS Monaco, you take that with you to Sunday’s match, I know from personal experience. How do you get out of that match? Is that overwhelming well, then you do have an advantage.” De Mos predicts a 2-1 victory for PSV over Monaco and a 2-2 draw in Amsterdam.
