A pivotal early-season De Topper sees PSV Eindhoven looking to open a six-point gap over an Ajax side defending a 14-match unbeaten streak.
Ajax sit 4th on 7 points and are currently holding a continental qualification spot. They enter this fixture with significant momentum following a 4-0 thrashing of Telstar last weekend, extending their overall unbeaten run to 13 matches. Managerial stability has seen 'De Joden' recover from a historically poor run against their rivals, remaining undefeated in their last five meetings with PSV.
PSV Eindhoven occupy 2nd place with 10 points, just two behind the league leaders. Peter Bosz’s side have recovered emphatically from a slow start to the campaign, recently dismantling Utrecht 6-1 and Groningen 5-1. Despite the summer departures of Ismael Saibari and Joey Veerman, the defending champions remain the division's top-scoring unit and have scored in every away league match this season.
