Johan van'T Schip can definitely be credited for taking over Ajax during a disastrous first half of the season and has at least been able to keep them out of the relegation zone since then. The Dutchman, who was hired as an interim solution until the end of the season, put the team in 5th and direct qualification for the Champions League is not yet off the table either. The gap to second-placed Feyenoord is now only nine points and can be made up in the second half of the season with appropriate performance. Only PSV Eindhoven is no longer in the reach of the Amsterdam based team. The guests dominates the domestic league in a way that was not even seen at Ajax during the glorious reign of Erik ten Hag. PSV Eindhoven is not only without any league defeats in the current season but has even won 18 of their 19 league games and achieved a goal difference of 62 to 8 conceded goals. According to the bookies the guests are favorites for the win this clash.
