Our Prediction for PSV vs Royal Union
The Dutch side reclaimed the championship title in 2024. They managed to maintain their lead in the Eredivisie, though at times it seemed Ajax would overtake them.

The Belgians have recently returned from obscurity but immediately began competing for top spots. Several times they ultimately lost out to Club Brugge. However, last spring, they managed to surpass them and finally claim a trophy!

Dender also put up a fight, but was eventually beaten 1-0.
