# PSV Eindhoven vs Willem II Prediction & Betting Tips – Dutch Eredivisie, Saturday, October 31, 2026
🔴⚪ **PSV Eindhoven** vs 🔴🔵 **Willem II Tilburg**
**Main Prediction: PSV Eindhoven Win (1)**
**Correct Score: PSV Eindhoven 3-1 Willem II**
**Both Teams to Score: Yes**
**Total Goals: Over 2.5 Goals**
PSV Eindhoven welcome Willem II to the Philips Stadion on Saturday, October 31, 2026, for Matchweek 11 of the 2026/27 Dutch Eredivisie.
The fixture brings together two clubs experiencing dramatically different starts to the season. PSV occupy third position with 20 points from ten matches, while Willem II sit bottom of the league with just two points.
The 18-point difference illustrates the contrast between the teams.
PSV have recorded six victories, two draws and two defeats, scoring 28 goals and conceding 13. Their average of 2.80 goals per match makes them one of the Eredivisie's most productive attacking teams.
Willem II have endured a difficult return to the top flight. They remain without a league victory after ten matches, recording two draws and eight defeats.
The visitors have scored ten goals and conceded 32, giving them the weakest defensive record in the competition.
Their latest Eredivisie fixture ended in a heavy 6-1 home defeat against SC Cambuur on October 24.
However, Willem II responded by defeating Helmond Sport 4-3 in the KNVB Cup on October 27, demonstrating that their attacking players can still create opportunities.
PSV arrive following a 1-1 home draw against league leaders Feyenoord on October 25.
Peter Bosz's team have experienced mixed results during October, losing against ADO Den Haag and RB Leipzig but defeating Heerenveen and Porto.
The European victory against Porto provides encouragement, although PSV must improve their consistency in domestic competition.
Home advantage is particularly important.
PSV remain unbeaten in five Eredivisie home matches, recording three victories and two draws.
They have scored 14 goals and conceded five at the Philips Stadion.
Willem II, meanwhile, have failed to win any of their five away league fixtures, collecting just one point while conceding 16 goals.
The historical record also strongly favors PSV, who have won three of their previous five competitive meetings with Willem II.
However, the most recent encounter ended in a 1-1 draw in February 2025, showing that the visitors can occasionally frustrate the Eindhoven club.
PSV possess attacking options through Ivan Perišić, Guus Til, Ruben van Bommel, Esmir Bajraktarević and Sven Mijnans.
Willem II will look to Devin Haen, Tonny Vilhena, Vito van Crooij and other attacking players to exploit opportunities on the counterattack.
An additional consideration is the managerial situation at Willem II.
Experienced coach Adrie Koster was appointed interim head coach on October 21 following changes in the technical leadership.
The visitors therefore enter this encounter attempting to improve their organization under temporary management.
The LincBet editorial assessment strongly favors PSV because of their superior attacking record, home advantage, league position and Willem II's defensive difficulties.
However, the hosts have conceded in several recent matches, and Willem II have scored in all five away league fixtures.
**Our predicted final score is PSV Eindhoven 3-1 Willem II, with Both Teams to Score – Yes and Over 2.5 Goals as the preferred total-goals selection.**

### ⚽ Why PSV Eindhoven Are Strong Favorites
