PSV vs Utrecht Prediction and Betting Tips | August 12th 2023

PSV will get their 2023-24 Eredivisie campaign underway against Utrecht at the Philips Stadion on Saturday.

The hosts finished second in the league standings last season and will look to go all the way this season. They have recorded back-to-back wins in their two competitive games this season, defeating Ajax 1-0 in the Johan Cruyff Shield last week and defeating Sturm Graz 4-1 in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round on Wednesday.

The visitors will play their first competitive match of the season on Saturday and in their last friendly of the pre-season, they defeated Espanyol 3-0 at home last week.

Lampen are on a five-game winning run at the moment and have looked solid in their two competitive games thus far, scoring five goals while conceding just once. They have a solid home record against the visitors and are strong favorites in this match.

Utreg will play their first competitive match of the season on Saturday and might be a bit rusty. They recorded just two wins in the pre-season. They have suffered three defeats in their last four away games and might struggle here.

PSV have kick-started their 2023-24 campaign on a positive note and, considering their dominance at home against their northern rivals, we expect them to record a comfortable win.
