PSV begin their Eredivisie title defence at home to Sittard, a side they have not lost to in five competitive meetings. The pre-season picture is mixed for the hosts - a heavy Super Cup defeat to AZ Alkmaar sits alongside wins over Eindhoven FC and Rakow - while Jerdy Schouten and Amir Bouhamdi are both unavailable. Sittard arrive with three wins from five friendlies but conceded in four of those five outings.
The head-to-head numbers are the story here. PSV have won four and drawn one in their last five against Sittard, scoring 15 goals and conceding only six. All five meetings produced goals at both ends. PSV scored in all five of those fixtures. The over 2.5 line landed in four of the five h2h games, and in all five of PSV's recent matches regardless of competition.
At 1.50 (bet365), PSV -1.5 Asian Handicap is the call. The historical margin of victory in this fixture supports a two-goal winning margin or better, and Sittard's defensive record away from home gives no reason to resist.
