Dutch Eredivisie rivals PSV Eindhoven host Feyenoord on Sunday in a match pitting two of the league’s top four teams. Just one point separates the two teams in the race for Champions League football for next term.
Feyenoord are just seven points behind league leaders Ajax. The Amsterdam club have stumbled recently allowing the chasing pack to gain some ground. While Feyenoord are seven points back of Ajax, they are four points behind second-place AZ Alkmaar.
PSV Eindhoven have recovered from a run of poor form. They have won three straight games in the league and are inching their way toward the top three. A win would see the red and white move into the top three of the Eredivisie.
