PSV Eindhoven is on the cusp of making Eredivisie history, with an unparalleled streak of victories that could soon surpass Benfica’s legendary 22 consecutive wins. Under the helm of Peter Bosz, the Red and Whites are charging full steam ahead in pursuit of another championship.
After a dominating 3-1 victory over Excelsior, PSV Eindhoven has notched up an impressive 17 consecutive wins in the Eredivisie, matching a mythical record set in the 1987-88 season. The upcoming clash against Utrecht presents an opportunity for PSV to make history by achieving an unprecedented 18 consecutive wins in the club’s and the Dutch league’s annals.
Setting their sights on surpassing Benfica’s record of 22 consecutive victories in the 1972-73 season, PSV faces a challenging road ahead. To achieve this feat, Eindhoven must emerge victorious in the next six league games against Utrecht, Almier City, Ajax, Folendam, Herakles, and Tsvole. The pursuit of 23 consecutive wins is a monumental task, but PSV remains determined to etch their name in the Eredivisie history books.
In addition to the team’s remarkable performance, striker Luke De Jong has etched his name in the record books with a historic hat-trick against Excelsior. This achievement catapults him into the top ten scorers in Eredivisie history, making him the third Dutch footballer with the most hat-tricks (7) in the 21st century, trailing only Dirk Kuyt and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
As the season unfolds, De Jong has the opportunity to further solidify his place among the greats, with a remarkable tally of 15 goals and 7 assists in the current championship. He stands behind Jimenez of Feyenoord and Pavlidis of Alkmaar on the goal-scoring charts, showcasing his pivotal role in PSV’s attacking prowess.
Notably, PSV’s offensive juggernaut continues to shine, scoring more than two goals in their 20th consecutive league game—a historic streak that stands as the longest in Eredivisie history. With a staggering 59 goals in 17 matches and a formidable defense that has conceded just 7 goals, PSV Eindhoven currently boasts the best attack and defense in the division.
As PSV embarks on this unprecedented journey, the football world eagerly anticipates whether they can secure their place in history by surpassing Benfica’s long-standing record. The upcoming fixtures will undoubtedly shape the destiny of PSV Eindhoven in the annals of Eredivisie greatness.
