PSV Eindhoven vs Heerenveen Prediction
PSV Eindhoven are currently top of the league table, 10 points ahead of second-placed Feyenoord, having won all of their league games so far. Peter Bosz will be quite happy with his team's record so far; the former Ajax man has things to prove too, after poor spells at Borussia Dortmund and Lyon and an average one at Bayer Leverkusen.
When Barcelona signed Luuk de Jong on loan from Sevilla, it wasn't a popular one, but de Jong managed to make himself useful. Now at PSV Eindhoven for his second spell, the 33-year-old is more than useful; he is one of the stars of the league. The likes of Johan Bakayoko, Hirving Lozano, Noa Lang and Joey Veerman have all proved to be incredibly productive in attack as well.
Heerenveen, on the other hand, are seventh in the league and have won four of their last five league games. Having won six of their first 14 games, it is evident that the club has hit a purple patch in terms of results.
PSV Eindhoven are in frighteningly good form and should emerge victorious here.
