It seems that the KNVB and the Police are investigating last weeks match between NAC and Groningen over the number of correct score bets recieved before the match for the 3-1 result

I know there's been a lot of this sort of thing around the world, especially in Asia and in Belgium but this is the first I've seen concerning the Eredivisie....

I don't see why this is an issue. If millions around the world bet on thatgame, there's bound to be a lot of bets on a 3-1 result, considering most people think Groningen and NAC are Holland's "lesser" teams.

I think it's because of the number of bets on this particular game. There's always going to be a certain number of bets and it will always fluctuate but they must have an average and I'm guessing that this match betting was way above that average.......we'll see what happens anyway.

Write this down in your agendas...

Saturday 31 March, 19.30 CET:

NAC Breda vs PSV

Very important. PSV have a tougher schedule than Ajax from now on. They must lose twice and NAC away is definitely one of the games they must lose. It's their highest remaining hurdle. If they lose this one, they will really panic.

My prediction is that this match is the key... The pivotal, season-deciding fixture. If PSV win this one, they will straighten their backs, take a deep breath and finish the job. If they lose this one, they will also lose points against Twente and quite possibly collapse completely in Nijmegen at NEC.

They're so going to win this game....

i think the best NAC can do against PSV is draw...hopefully win though.

After all Ajax did inflict real heavy damage, and PSv still have the CL to worry about.

Question - If we finish with level points with psv, what will be deciding factor who are the champions - two games that we played with psv or goals diferent in eredivisie? or maybe it will be one game in neutral field?

GangstaRiB · Bericht door **GangstaRiB** » ma mar 19, 2007 1:54 pm

Goal difference.

At the moment we are 6 goals behind psv. The last games for Ajax are alomst all relegation teams, so a few big scores are possible.

quite right, and if they draw pressure will be on them : just one defeat and could lose the title

Van basten · Bericht door **Van basten** » ma mar 19, 2007 2:52 pm

so, it's enough for us, that from their 5 games psv loses one and draw one (of course if we win all 5). before sunday we were -14 goal different with psv, now it's just -6, and if we win all games, i'm sure our GD will be better than psv

besides, p$v will play their CL 1/4 finals first leg on the 03/04, so they will have this Liverpool game on their mind then

If I remember correctly, didn't Breda knock PSV out of the cup (with a healthy Alex)? There's always hope..

Yes, they did, but - ironically - I feel that's a disadvantage now. A top team losing twice to the same opponent in a few weeks' time...? That's a rare thing. The cup defeat actually makes the chance smaller that NAC will do it again, if you ask me.

Normally I would agree with you on this, that PSV would somehow be looking for a little payback, that they would have the motivation. However, if their mindset isn't right, I don't think it matters. And after the thumping Sunday, they looked pretty disheartened.

Plus, they're in prime position to overlook Breda with the match against Liverpool right after.

i think this 2 weeks break in eredivisie is in favour of Psv. they need to recover from that crash that they had on sunday, so the break is write about time for them and absolutly needless to us, because we are on the wave right now

That might be true, but this result has just been the last in a series of atrocious results for them. I'm not sure two weeks is enough time for them to get their act together.

Lucky for them Ronald Koeman is such a good motivator, he'll have them playing like champs again soon! :D

1-0 for NAC right now :xyxthumbs:

NAC 1: 0 PSV . Sporting Life's match ticker indicates Arne Slot for NAC on 52' . AZ up 1:0 thanks to Shota.

NAC - PSV : 1-1 in the end... :nooo:

But that's still a good result if Ajax does its job tomorrow...

Blind3 · Bericht door **Blind3** » za mar 31, 2007 8:31 pm

1:1..damn.

dws · Bericht door **dws** » za mar 31, 2007 8:31 pm

Finished 1:1 .... goals at both ends from mistakes :yes:

For P$V; Da Costa failed to control a simple pass and Arne slot knicked the ball off him before smashing a shot past Gomez :D

For NAC; Zoetebier was poorly positioned - on the edge of his 6 yard box - Fartfan noticed this and fired in a long range shot with too much power and elevation for Zoetebier to reach. X'C

Anyway, it's two points dropped for P$V :headbang: and means the title should go to the last round of matches.
