PSV Eindhoven v Fortuna Sittard Betting Tips [20 March 2022]

Matchday 27 of the Eredivisie sees second place PSV take on relegation threatened Fortuna Sittard at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven. The hosts are in hot pursuit of leaders Ajax and any slip up from the defending champions could see PSV overtake them for the top spot. Roger Schimt’s side will implore his side to remain focused on the task at hand as the fixtures begin to pile up for the Eindhoven side. PSV advanced to the next round of the Europa Conference League with an 8-4 aggregate win over Danish side Kobenhavn in midweek and with them still being involved in the KNVB Cup, should see a busy end to the season. Their opponents come into the match off the back of a potentially season saving result after they defeated Willem II 1-0 at home. The result moves Fortuna out of the relegation zone as, despite being even on points with Willem, they now hold the head to head advantage.

PSV have been in impressive form and come into this match as heavy favorites to win their sixth consecutive Eredivisie match and make it 12 straight without defeat in all competitions. It would be a shock if the outcome is anything other than a comprehensive home victory and if the hosts recent scoring record is anything to go by, the visitors could be in for a long day. Eindhoven have found the net in 19 consecutive games, last being shut out in the beginning of December, and have notched 14 goals across their last five matches. They should find success here against a Fortuna side that has conceded the second most goals in the competition, giving up 53 in 25 matches. While PSV should record a comfortable victory, there is evidence to suggest that the visitors can at least find the back of the net in this match. Fortuna have scored in four of their last five while PSV have not exactly been a defensive juggernaut this season, ranking seventh in the league in clean sheets with seven while conceding 31 goals.

We’re going to back over 3.5 goals as our pick for this match. This shapes up to be a high scoring encounter in Eindhoven as each team have a lot on the line to play for. The advantage with this bet is the hosts could easily cover the total themselves if they were to continue their recent goal scoring form, but don’t be surprised if the visitors are able to find the net here. Ultimately PSV should record a relatively comfortable 3-1 or 4-1 type victory.
