Defending champions PSV will entertain Feyenoord at the Philips Stadion in a high-profile Eredivisie clash on Sunday. Boeren are at the top of the league table with 42 points, seven more than the fourth-placed visitors.
The hosts saw their winning streak in the league ended after four games last week, as they fell to a 1-0 away loss to Heerenveen. It was their second consecutive 1-0 loss, having suffered a defeat to Brest in the UEFA Champions League last week.
They bounced back with a 8-0 home win in the KNVB Cup second-round meeting against third-tier side Koninklijke HFC. Ricardo Pepi and Ivan Perišić bagged braces in that win.
De club aan de Maas are unbeaten in their last eight games, recording four consecutive wins. They hosted Heracles last week in the Eredivisie and registered a 5-2 win. Santiago Giménez bagged a first-half hat-trick while Dávid Hancko scored in the second half.
They played MVV in the KNVB Cup and Zépiqueno Redmond's brace helped them to a 2-1 away win.

PSV vs Feyenoord Prediction
Boeren have scored at least five goals in three of their last four league outings and will look to continue that prolific run here. They have won their last 12 Eredivisie home games, scoring 48 goals, and are strong favorites. Interestingly, they have won just one of their last six league home games against the visitors.
Couhaib Driouech, Adamo Nagalo, and Sergiño Dest are confirmed absentees for Peter Bosz. Johan Bakayoko and Rick Karsdorp have trained but their involvement is doubtful.
Feyenoord have won six of their last eight games, scoring 25 goals. They have enjoyed an unbeaten away record across all competitions this term and will look to build on that form.
Santiago Giménez has been in great form since returning from an injury spell and will be the key man here as fellow attackers Igor Paixão, Ayase Ueda, and Julián Carranza are injured. Gijs Smal, Quilindschy Hartman, and Jordan Lotomba are also unavailable due to injuries.
Both teams head into the match in good form and this should be a high-scoring affair. The defending champions are unbeaten at home in the league since January 2023 and should be able to eke out a narrow win.
Prediction: PSV 3-2 Feyenoord
