After winning the 25th Eredivisie title, PSV seems the favorite to win another in a few months. At the half of the season, the team from Eindhoven is the league leader, with six points more than the next on the table, Ajax. PSV's form slightly slowed down in December, but they ended the year with two convincing wins, so Peter Bosz's team will likely welcome the first game in a new year with a lot of confidence. In the previous match, PSV won 3-0 at home against Feyenoord.
AZ Alkmaar have another solid season. They are currently fifth on the table, but there is plenty to fight for as the third position is only four points ahead. AZ Alkmaar were in phenomenal form at the end of 2024, with eight matches in a row without defeat. In the previous game, they won 1-0 at home against Twente. The home side finished the match with an xG of 1.38, while guests had only 0.36, so AZ Alkmaar's victory was well deserved.
PSV vs AZ Alkmaar pick: PSV to win and cover AH -1.5 spread
PSV are dominant at the home stadium, where they won the last eight matches with a 37:3 goal difference. They should trash AZ Alkmaar at the Philips Stadion, too.
