PSV will be looking to maintain their 100% record in the Dutch top flight on Sunday evening when they play AZ Alkmaar away from home.
The hosts are having a similar season to last year. Pascal Jansen's side are currently in third place, but only goal difference separates them from fourth place, where they finished the 2022-23 season. The Cheese Farmers were last in Conference League action when they travelled to Poland to take on Legia Warszawa in their final Group E match. Defeat meant elimination from Europe and they must now focus on the domestic season.
PSV meanwhile have watched Ajax (4) and Feyenoord win the last five Eredivisie titles, but that may be about to change this season. Peter Bosz's side are the only team in this division with a 100% record after 15 games and are ten points clear of reigning champions Feyenoord at the top of the table. The Red and Whites picked up an important point against Arsenal in Europe last time out to secure their place in the knockout phase of the Champions League, something they will be looking to build on this weekend.
AZ Alkmaar vs PSV Betting Tips: PSV to win
AZ Almaar are one of the title contenders in this division, but their form in recent weeks has not been good. Jansen's men have only managed one win in their last four games in all competitions and conceded a total of six goals.
PSV Eindhoven are simply unstoppable at the moment. The Red and Whites have not only won all fifteen games so far, they have scored three goals a game on average and have kept ten clean sheets. Bosz's men also have a decent away record against AZ as they won each of their last two visits to Alkmaar.

AZ Alkmaar team news
AZ had to finish the defeat to Legia Warszawa in the Conference League last time out with ten men after Bruno Martins Indi’s red card but that will not result in a suspension in the league.
Sem Westerveld (meniscus), Mees de Wit (foot), Mayckel Lahdo (knee) and Mathew Ryan (Broken cheekbone) were absent from that game due to injuries and Sunday’s game will come too soon for all four of them.

PSV Eindhoven head coach Peter Bosz is set to be without Hirving Lozano and Jerdy Schouten due to injuries and summer recruit Noa Lang is a major doubt.
The visitors have shared their goals this season, but Luuk de Jong is the standout performer with ten goals, while Guus Till is in second place with seven.
