ESPN analyst clearly about PSV fans’ wish: 'Ajax blocks'

Sunday features a number of special duels on the schedule. The remaining and final duels of the 2025-2026 Eredivisie season promise to be exciting but perhaps also sensational.

In particular, PSV - FC Twente seems set to be a real cracker up to and including the end. The Twente side must achieve a good result in Eindhoven before any actual thoughts can be given to the Champions League. PSV fans generally love seeing the Conference League qualifier come into view for the Amsterdam side. In short, entertainment guaranteed on Sunday afternoon.

ESPN analyst Danny Koevermans senses some tension among the various supporter groups around clubs where the stakes are high. Koevermaand thinks that PSV supporters won’t have a problem if Bosz’s team drops points and thereby simultaneously undermines Ajax.

This tells the former PSV striker at Voetbalpraat. If Ajax were to win the match and PSV were not to, then the Amsterdam team could still finish third and so the Champions League is still within reach.

"The players will absolutely not do it, but I can’t shake the impression that there are enough people sitting in the East who don’t mind if Twente leaves there with a 1-1 or something." The reason, according to Koevermans, is also very simple, because the PSV fans are hoping to block Ajax. "To make sure that Ajax is blocked in that way."

Although a draw is still not enough for Twente, NEC is in fourth place, between Twente and Ajax. "Then they know in Eindhoven that Ajax won’t finish third; that’s how it’s approached. They’ll have a fair amount of fun with it, but the players absolutely won’t, because they want to finish the season well. "Ajax is completely dependent on Go Ahead, Twente and PSV", according to Danny Koevermans.
