All eyes in the Eredivisie will turn to Johan Cruyff Arena on Sunday as a rejuvenated Ajax faces off against unstoppable league leaders PSV Eindhoven in this season’s first De Topper.
Since Erik ten Hag left them two years ago, the Amsterdam club's performances have noticeably weakened both in domestic and continental front, but the arrival of the Italian coach Francesco Farioli has brought a wind of positivity and optimism. After a below-par finish on fifth last season, Ajax are determined to redeem themselves for their loyal fans and are currently performing well, as they crouch in second place with a tally of 22 points, eight off the inexorable table-toppers.
During Ajax's four-year reign from 2018 to 2022, PSV did not pose a serious threat to the title, but now they look like an unstoppable force sweeping aside everything in their path as they stride confidently toward their 26th national championship. After setting several records last season to claim the Eredivisie title—winning 29 out of 34 matches and racking up an astonishing 111 goals—the Boeren are currently defending their top-flight crown without a hitch, being the sole team to have gone through their first 10 matches without losing a single point.
Ajax vs PSV Eindhoven Betting Tips: AH2 (0)
During the rescheduled matchday four held this Wednesday, Ajax put in a masterful display to sweep aside Feyenoord with a dominant 2-0 scoreline in De Klassieker, so the Amsterdammers are filled with self-assurance as they prepare for a daunting test coming up this weekend. Francesco Farioli's men have enjoyed a great time at Johan Cruyff Arena this season, having wrapped up all four of their home matches with victories while also keeping three shutouts in the process, but there are fears that their impressive home run will be tarnished here.
In a two-year period spanning seven matchups between these bitter rivals, Boeren have emerged as the more dominant side by winning five of those battles, which serves as encouragement for them to continue their unblemished start in the Dutch top flight this week. Ahead of the De Topper clash, PSV sent a fearsome message to their rivals by dismantling the helpless Zwolle 6-0, which followed a commendable draw in a 1-1 stalemate at Parc des Princes against PSG, leading us to believe that the high-flying PSV has everything needed to extend their lead at the summit of the table.

Ajax team news
After securing a quick-fire two-goal win against Feyenoord midweek, Ajax's spirits were dampened by an injury to Kenneth Taylor, meaning Kian Fitz-Jim might need to take his place if former isn’t fit to play.
Manager Francesco Farioli will have to cope without midfield duo Sivert Mannsverk and Kristian Hlynsson, both of whom are struggling with ankle injuries, while Gaston Avila and Julian Rijkhoff are also unavailable for the De Topper clash.

PSV Eindhoven team news
PSV Eindhoven will be without Sergino Dest and Hirving Lozano, as well as influential midfield duo Jerdy Schouten and Joey Veerman, who are still recovering from hamstring and groin injuries, respectively.
Star forward Johan Bakayoko was introduced late in the match against Zwolle, coming on in the 74th minute to score a goal that sealed a 6-0 victory, but he is expected to play a pivotal role from the start against Ajax.
