PSV Eindhoven will host Heracles Almelo at the Philips Stadion on Wednesday in the penultimate round of the 2024-25 Eredivisie regular season. The home side are in fine form at the moment and continue to keep the pressure on a stuttering Ajax side at the top of the pile with the title race now set to go down to the wire.
They picked up an all-important 3-2 comeback victory over Feyenoord last time out, heading into the break two goals down before goals from Ivan Perisic and Noa Lang helped secure an impressive victory for the defending champions.
Heracles Almelo also have it all to play for in the final two games of the season as they seek their first playoff appearance since the 2018-19 campaign. They picked up a 2-1 win away at Willem II Tilburg in their game on Friday featuring efforts from Ivan Mesik and Jizz Hornkamp.
The visitors sit 12th in the league table with 38 points but could finish the gameweek as high as eighth should they come away with an unlikely victory on the road this Wednesday.
Boeren are on a five-game winning streak and have lost just one of their last nine. They have the joint-best home record in the division and will head into the midweek clash as clear favorites.
Heracles' latest result ended a run of back-to-back defeats and they will be looking to kick on from that in the final week of the season. They have, however, struggled for results on the road and could lose this one.
Prediction: PSV Eindhoven 3-1 Heracles Almelo
