PSV Eindhoven vs Ado Den Haag Prediction
The absence of several key first-team players could be detrimental to PSV, and this coupled with their recent away trip to Cyprus in the Europa League could lead to fatigue.
The hosts currently sit two points behind table-toppers and rivals Ajax Amsterdam and will be keen to avoid any further slip-ups in their quest to reclaim the league title.
Ado Den Haag, on the other hand, are currently embroiled in a relegation dogfight but are unlikely to get anything from a vastly superior PSV side.
Prediction: PSV Eindhoven 2-0 Ado Den Haag
