Soccer: Miller looks to Holland for Willem II v PSV Eindhoven, Serbia for Crvena Zvezda v Partizan, and Switzerland for Zurich v Basel

Which team will blink first in Holland?

After Ajax held serve on Tuesday with a win to go back on top of the Eredivisie table by three points, PSV Eindhoven gets its chance Thursday to hold serve and keep the race alive until the final day.

PSV is 23-1-3 in its last 27 matches against Willem II, including a 6-1 win in September. Expect this result to be something similar.

There are not many more derbies more heated than the one they call the Eternal Derby, as Crvena Zvezda (Red Star) Belgrade faces Partizan Belgrade in Serbia Thursday.

While these games have been tight affairs, Crvena Zvezda comes into the match in much better form, and 15 points clear at the top of the table. Crvena Zvezda is the better side, and should find a way to get all three points

In Switzerland, Basel has lost just once in its last 16 games with Zurich. Basel has a 2-0 win on the road at the beginning of April against Thursday’s foe, and can book a top to the Swiss Cup final with a win.
