So far this season, PSV Eindhoven has maintained their spot near the top of the Eredivisie table, but by the end of the year I don't expect them to finish higher than fourth and here's three reasons why:
3. They've had a favorable schedule so far
PSV has played Vitesse Arnhem and NEC at home, Twente and Heracles on the road. Twente and Vitesse Arnhem are seemingly decent sides, but PSV could only manage a scoreless draw with the former at Arke Stadion and barely squeaked by Vitesse at home, 1-0. Click to continue reading...
