[1594] Of is there still hope for the crown?

Presented with an opportunity, Ajax squandered it.

This is very disappointing since Ajax had built a strong momentum for the first spot in the recent week but all that accumulated to a dismal draw.

AMSTERDAM, March 19 (Reuters) – PSV Eindhoven maintained their four-point lead at the top of the Dutch league after drawing 0-0 at home to second-placed Ajax Amsterdam on Wednesday.

With five matches remaining PSV have 61 points. Ajax follow on 57 with Cup finalists Feyenoord third with 54. [Eredivisie: PSV close in on the title again. Reuters via Soccernet. March 19 2008]

There are 5 more Eredivisie matches though. Even there is even to be any hope for Ajax to win the Eredivisie after a very long time, Ajax at most must win all of its remaining matches and PSV much draw at least twice.

How possible is that?

I do not know. I am bit worried about Twente and Groningen but the rest of Ajax’s opponents should be a walk in the park. PSV will have a more packed schedule compared to Ajax since it is still playing in the UEFA Cup. I hope PSV do well in the UEFA Cup because that might distract its attention away from the Eredivisie and Ajax sorely need PSV to drop at least two points in the league.
