Prediction: 1-1
PSV
There will be fireworks when Ajax and PSV go head to head at De Kuip in the KNVB Beker final. Ajax failed to defend their Eredivisie title, but they could save the season by going all the way in the Dutch Cup. The Amsterdammers are eager to get their revenge on PSV for a 3-0 loss in Eindhoven at the weekend, and the good news for the nominal hosts is that defender Edson Alvarez is back from suspension.
The visitors, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Ajax by beating Spakenburg on the road, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in the title game. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as 17 goals have been netted in the previous four meetings between the two sides. PSV defender Armando Obispo remains in the recovery room, while midfielder Mauro Junior is a major doubt.
