"On a recent weekend in the Dutch Eredivisie, the two main protagonists in last season's stunning title fight - PSV Eindhoven and Ajax - both surprisingly dropped points against newly promoted sides, FC Volendam and Telstar. The former is a real yo-yo club that got relegated two seasons ago after shipping 88 goals, whilst the latter's stunning victory in Eindhoven was their first after a 47-year absence from the top division."
"Each side has its strengths, but intriguingly, for the 25/26 season, each has nearly as many weaknesses. And you can copy and paste that assessment for the third of the three musketeers who have historically dominated the Dutch game, Feyenoord. Trouble ahead? Bringing in club legend Robin van Persie, who only has a brief spell at Heerenveen in his back pocket, is a risk"
Both PSV Eindhoven and Ajax unexpectedly dropped points to newly promoted FC Volendam and Telstar, with Telstar's win in Eindhoven marking their first top-flight victory in 47 years. Each traditional giant displays clear strengths alongside striking vulnerabilities in the 25/26 season, mirroring similar fragility at Feyenoord after managerial and personnel gambles. Historically, Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord have dominated the Eredivisie since 1954/55, but simultaneous contention among all three is rare, last approaching in 2002/03. Frequent talent departures and high squad turnover drive periodic rebuilds and leave room for upsets and an unpredictable title race.
