Tuesday and Wednesday sees the culmination of the first week of fixtures of the new Eredivisie season and Will Burns returns with his selections for Tuesday’s ADO-PSV game and like all his tips, you will not see a ‘best bet’ under evens – good luck!
Tuesday 11th August
ADO DEN HAAG vs. PSV – 17:30 BST
You can watch this game via the red button on Sky Sports at 17:30 BST.
Reigning Eredivisie champions PSV Eindhoven travel to The Hague on Tuesday evening to start their new season at the same venue when the title-winning campaign ended.
That afternoon, although under no pressure, the Eindhoven side ran out 3-2 winners and I feel this contest could be won in similar vein. PSV, apart from an injury to starting left-back Jetro Willems, are at full strength and will prove to be too powerful for a Henk Fraser ADO side that has lost last season’s top scorer Michiel Kramer, after his transfer to Feyenoord.
Fraser is set to replace Kramer with former Vitesse target-man Mike Havanaar but the Japanese international will not be available for this match. ADO have some tricky players at their disposal including Ronald Alberg and new signings, Xander Houtkoop and Ruben Schaken (4/1 Anytime Goalscorer – Bet365) who are all capable of popping up with a goal.
Can they score? Of course they can but I still feel PSV will prevail as the stronger outfit especially taking last weekend’s Johan Cruijff Schaal performance, a 3-0 smashing of FC Groningen. Luuk de Jong and Adam Maher shone that Sunday and with the latter playing in a new free role in the midfield, could be likely to pop with a goal at 7/4 (Anytime Goalscorer – Bet365).
The best value I see is the goals market combining with a PSV win. For Philip Cocu’s men to win and also be over 2.5 goals in the game, Betfair offer the best price of 11/10 and I see this as out ‘Best Bet’ in this game.
BEST BET: PSV to win with Over 2.5 Goals (11/10 at Betfair Sportsbook)
OTHER TIPS: Ruben Schaken – Anytime Goalscorer (4/1)
Adam Maher – Anytime Goalscorer (7/4 both at Bet365)
