PSV Eindhoven vs Heracles Almelo Prediction and Betting Tips

PSV Eindhoven will host Heracles Almelo at the Philips Stadion on Saturday in another round of the 2025-26 Eredivisie campaign. The home side are in fantastic form in the Dutch top flight at the moment, sitting six points clear at the top as they continue their push for a third consecutive league title.

PSV faced Heerenveen on the road in their league game last weekend and coasted to a 2-0 victory, with Joey Veerman and Ricardo Pepi netting quickfire goals in the first half to hand the champions maximum points. They, however, endured a less positive outcome in their continental assignments during the week, losing 3-2 to Atletico Madrid in the UCL league phase.

Heracles Almelo endured a woeful start to their season, losing nine of their first 10 matches, prompting the dismissal of head coach Bas Sibum mere months into his reign at the club. Hendrie Kruzen came in as the interim boss and did a brilliant job of steadying the team, becoming the first-ever interim manager to win the Eredivisie Coach of the Month award.

Ernest Faber has been appointed as the new permanent head coach, overseeing a 1-1 draw with last-placed Telstar last weekend, and will be eager to register his first win in charge in the coming weeks.
