Feyenoord vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction and Betting Tips | 4th August 2023
Feyenoord are set to play PSV Eindhoven at the Stadion Feijenoord on Friday in the final of the Johan Cruijff Shield.
Feyenoord come into this game on the back of a 2-1 win over Benfica in their most recent game. First-half goals from Brazilian attacker Igor Paixao and Mexican striker Santiago Gimenez secured the win for Feyenoord. Croatian striker Petar Musa scored the goal for Benfica.
PSV Eindhoven, on the other hand, beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 in their most recent game. A second-half goal from Belgian forward Johan Bakayoko sealed the deal for PSV Eindhoven.
Feyenoord finished as champions last season, and will be keen to replicate that success this time around as well. With Ajax not really inspiring confidence right now, and PSV Eindhoven having lost some key players, Feyenoord will fancy their chances.
Manager Arne Slot is arguably the best manager in Eredivisie right now, and the club have enforced the senior squad with the signings of Ramiz Zerrouki, Calvin Stengs and Thomas Beelen.
PSV Eindhoven, on the other hand, finished 2nd last season, and have replaced Ruud van Nistelrooy with Peter Bosz as manager. Bosz is a polarising figure, and fans of Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen and Lyon will be well aware of how his football can entertain and cause despair in equal measure.
One his biggest tasks will be to figure how to replace the input of Xavi Simons. Simons managed 27 goal contributions last season, and is now at RB Leipzig via Paris Saint-Germain. The Dutch giants have signed mercurial attacker Noa Lang and American forward Ricardo Pepi; Lang, in particular, does not lack confidence.
A close game is on the cards, with Feyenoord to emerge victorious.
