AFC Ajax vs PSV

Ajax host PSV at the Johan Cruijff ArenA on September 5 for the season's first De Topper, a clash that could shape the early title picture. PSV sit third with seven points from three matches, while Ajax are sixth on four points from two, still holding a game in hand as they chase early leaders AZ Alkmaar. Ajax opened their campaign with a 2-0 win away at PEC Zwolle, Jorthy Mokio and Julian Brandt both scoring, before drawing 2-2 with Heerenveen. Winger Mika Godts has been their standout performer despite transfer speculation. PSV have built momentum since an opening draw with Fortuna Sittard, following it with a win at Excelsior and a 5-1 rout of FC Groningen, where Ivan Perisic scored twice and Ricardo Pepi added a penalty. Known as De Topper, the rivalry has produced 66 meetings with little to separate the sides historically. Our prediction: 2-2
