Following a storming 3-0 victory over Feyenoord, PSV sit a staggering 17 points clear atop the Eredivisie table as of February 1st. With rivals Feyenoord severely struggling and Ajax out of form, Peter Bosz’s men look unstoppable. Although NEC, boasting the league’s second-best recent form, could narrow the gap to 15 points, PSV’s dominance remains undisputed.

If they maintain their current lead, PSV could mathematically clinch the title on April 11th against Sparta Rotterdam. However, to break the historical calendar record of April 8th set in 1978, they must secure the championship by April 4th against FC Utrecht. Furthermore, beating AZ’s record for the earliest round victory requires a 22-point lead by Round 27, when they host NEC on March 14th. Given PSV’s favorable remaining schedule compared to their rivals’ difficult fixtures, that specific March showdown in Eindhoven could well decide the final outcome of this incredibly one-sided title race.
