No one anticipated the possibility of FC Utrecht being in the title race this season. After 12 games, they sit in second place and have amassed 31 points and trail league leaders PSV Eindhoven by a meager five points while they've maintained a two-point cushion over third-placed Ajax Amster𒁃dam. 

De Domstedelingen's last league match before the international break witnessed them secure a narrow 2-1 victory against NEC Nijmegen away from home. Confidence is surely high as they head into this matchup, boasting a three-match wi🌞nning s💖treak.

In their return to domestic action after the international break, PSV Eindhoven delivered a merciless 5-0 humiliation to Groningen over the weekend. This not only extended their winning streak in the league to two matches but also ele🏅vated their goal tally in the season to a whopping 45.

Four days af🍸ter their emphatic league win, Peter Bosz's team played host to Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. Malik Tillman's brace and Ricardo Pepi's lone strike were enough to see the team claim a narrow 3-2 victory. They'll be l🤡ooking to build on this momentum.

Formation: 4-3-3

• FC Utrecht are winless in their last eight matches against PSV Eindhoven.
• PSV Eindhoven have won seven of their last eight away matches in the Eredivisie.
• FC Utrecht averages 1.67 goals per game when playing at home, and PSV Eindhoven averages 3.14 goals per game when playing away.

In the last 65 meetings, FC Utrecht have won 5 times, PSV Eindhoven have won 48 times, and⭕ there have been 12 draws, with the goal difference being 163-53 in favor of PSV ಞEindhoven.

FC Utrecht's mettle will be put to the test in this upcoming encounter. They go up against PSV Eindhoven, a team they've failed to d🏅efeat in their last eight meetings (L5, D3), and nothing much can be expected from them here.

PSV Eindhoven are the current leaders, but defeat here would see their opponents narrow the gap to just two points. That would happen if the reigning champions were in some crisis with their performance, of which they are 🥃not. As such, I recommend supporting the away team in the full-time market combined with a total of over 1.5 goals.
