It has been a truly remarkable league campaign for PSV, and after three consecutive seasons of finishing as runners-up, all they require is four points from their remaining four games to reclaim the Eredivisie title.

Since conceding their first and only league loss of the season against NEC last month, the Boeren have been on a rampage, smashing in 13 goals in their last three matches, including five agaisnt AZ and six without reply last week against Vitesse.

Against the Vites, Luuk de Jong opened the scoring in the 28th minute, with Malik Tillman and Andre Ramalho extending the lead to 3-0 by the break. Johan Bakayoko continued his rich vein of form, scoring the fourth of the afternoon before de Jong got his second in the game, and Hirving Lozano netted in stoppage time.

With that result, de Jong notched up another record this term, becoming only the fourth player to score 25 or more goals in four different Eredivisie seasons, while Bakayoko became the second youngest foreign player to find the net in four consecutive Eredivisie games for PSV, after Ronaldo back in 1995.

Up next for Peter Bosz and co is Heerenveen - a side that they beat fairly comfortably in the reverse fixture back in December 2-0 and one that they have not lost to in their last 11 encounters (W5 D6 L0) dating back to September 2017.

Heerenveen are enjoying another solid season but slipped out of the top half of the standings in the last month after failing to secure a win in five games, including three losses and two draws between March 10 and April 7.

However, they managed to end that winless run in their last outing, overcoming Heracles 2-0 with goals from Che Nunnely and Pelle van Amersfoort in the match's first and final 10 minutes, respectively.

With that result, Kees van Wonderen's side remained four points behind ninth-placed Sparta Rotterdam but the win also guaranteed that they cannot be automatically relegated this season, now 17 points clear of the drop with 12 points left to play for.

The hosts will now be looking to avoid a fourth consecutive match without victory at Abe Lenstra Stadion. During that time, they lost to Feyenoord and Utrecht, drew against Twente, and conceded three goals in each of those matches.

Prediction: Heerenveen 1-3 PSV Eindhoven
