The national team break is over and also in the Netherlands the league is entering its final line, when tomorrow (Saturday) the huge battle for the championship between Ajax and PSV Eindhoven will continue with the opening of the 28th round. The champion from Amsterdam will be hosted by Groningen (17:30) and can escape at least temporarily for a five-point advantage, but her stumble against the eighth-ranked will allow PSV Eindhoven and Eran Zehavi to at least cling to her if she comes out on top with the away game in Twente (19) : 45, Sports 3).
Zahavi was not part of the Israeli national team in the two friendly games against Germany and Romania and he took a short break to gain energy and rest for the money-time, hoping to continue the great momentum he had – scored in all three last league rounds, also scored in both games against FC Copenhagen on the way to meetings against Leicester in the quarter-finals of the conference and earlier in the cup, meaning six games in a row. Zehavi is expected to continue in the squad of Roger Schmidt, who at the end of the season will leave and make way for former striker Ron van Nistelrooy.
Even before the game, the Israeli was first named player of the month in the Dutch league, after an excellent march in which he scored three times in the league and also added cooking. Apart from that, he also had three goals in Europe and one in the cup.

– PSV (PSV) April 1, 2022
Until the end of the season in the league, Ajax will host Groningen tomorrow, host Sparta, host Nak Barda, host Zola and expect a not-so-simple end to a season at Alkmaar, at home against Hornbain and away against Vitesse. PSV on the other hand will be hosted by Twente tomorrow, but will then host Valwick, host Cambor, host Willem II, go out for a tough away game against Feyenoord, host Breda and finish the season away against Zola.
As is well known, Ajax have beaten PSV Eindhoven in the two league games between them this season and the teams will meet again on April 17 in the Dutch Cup final at the Rotterdam Stadium.
And in the Israeli division in the Netherlands, tomorrow will also play Feyenoord who will meet Willem II (22:00, Sport 2) when Ophir Mariano will hope to continue to stand in the goal after the mistakes he made in the 3: 2 loss to Ajax before the break and in light of the good ability he showed in the team. Feyenoord are ranked third in the table, but are ahead of Twente by just one point and have only three points to their credit over Alkmaar. On Thursday it will host Slavia Prague in the Conference League.
Another Israeli in the Netherlands who will play tomorrow is Eli Desa, who together with Vitesse will be hosted by Alkmaar (21:00).
