PSV Eindhoven vs Groningen Prediction and Betting Tips

PSV Eindhoven will host Groningen at Phillips Stadion on Saturday in the third round of the 2025-26 Dutch Eredivisie campaign. The hosts will be hoping to get a win and continue their impressive start to the league season as they look to defend the title.

PSV picked up a comfortable 2-0 win over Twente last weekend to make it two wins out of two following a thumping 6-1 win over Sparta Rotterdam during the opening weekend. The defending champions are on an outstanding 14-game winning streak stretching back to last season and will be looking to continue in such impressive form this weekend.

Groningen, on the other hand, needed a 94th-minute winner from Brynjolfur Darri Willumson to get a 2-1 win over Heerenveen last weekend and mark their first victory of the league season. The visitors, who finished in 13th place last season, had a solid pre-season campaign with four wins out of five games and will hope to build on last weekend's win when they make the trip to Eindhoven.
