With 18 points left to for play in the ongoing 2011/12 season, sixth placed Heerenveen are four points behind the table-toppers Ajax Amsterdam.
The 2010/2011 campaign ended in the most dramatic fashion possible. For a long time, PSV sat proudly at the summit. However, a twist was in the making as Ajax and Twente rallied forward, while PSV dropped crucial points here and there.
At a crucial phase of the season, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 choked and Ajax and Twente went from strength to strength. On the ultimate day of the season, it was Ajax and Twente who were to fight for the title. In an absorbing and entertaining game, it was Ajax who had enough
mental strength and character to win the game 3-1, thus liftting a title that they had no chance of winning a few months earlier.
Things are no different this term either. One can expect the title race to go down to the wire yet again. With just 18 points left to play for, it would be a major gamble to put money on any of the top six sides, especially on PSV Eindhoven, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 Rotterdam
or Heerenveen.
Bettor.com takes a quick glance on the fourth, fifth and sixth Eredivisie sides’ remaining encounters and their title aspirations.
PSV Eindhoven
Rejoiced with their KNVB beker Cup victory, the Eindhoven giants are progressing well under the leadership of Phillip Cocu, who took over from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fred-c14136 Rutten earlier this year. However, a cup victory is not going to help them claim the Eredivisie title at the
end of the campaign.
Remaining Fixtures:
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/RKC-Waalwijk-c40370 vs. PSV Eindhoven
PSV Eindhoven vs. AZ Alkmaar
PSV Eindhoven vs. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/NEC-c40018 Nijmegen
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roda-JC-c40375 Kerkrade vs. PSV Eindhoven
PSV Eindhoven vs. ADO Den Haag
SBV Excelsior vs. PSV Eindhoven
Feyenoord Rotterdam
Strugglers of the 2010/11 season, the Rotterdammers are a completely different side this term. The Stadiumclub boss, Ronald Koeman, and on-loan Manchester City striker, John Guidetti, are the two key factors behind their impressive showings this season.
However, their first Eredivisie title after an agonizing wait of 12 years still seems highly unlikely.
Remaining Fixtures:
Roda JC Kerkrade vs. Feyenoord Rotterdam
Feyenoord Rotterdam vs. SBV Excelsior
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/ADO-Den-Haag-c38221 vs. Feyenoord Rotterdam
Feyenoord Rotterdam vs. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar
Feyenoord Rotterdam vs. Heracles Almelo
Heerenveen vs. Feyenoord Rotterdam
Heerenveen
Since the 1999/2000 season, the Friesland outfit has never managed to come so close in the race for the title. With six matches left to play in the season, they are only four points behind the current league leaders. Although their chances of winning the
title are few and far between, they can certainly finish in the top three – good results in the remaining weeks and they would be most likely playing in the Champions League next season that itself is a big feat.
Remaining fixtures:
Heerenveen vs. Ajax Amsterdam
NEC Nijmegen vs. Heerenveen
