Excelsior, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 3-0 away defeat by Go Ahead Eagles, Excelsior manager Marinus Dijkhuizen will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. They achieved 55% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 0 hitting the target, up against Go Ahead Eagles' tally of 19 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Whilst they have scored a reasonable 6 goals in their last 6 games, they are struggling to pick up points due to their defence, who have shipped 19 goals in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 23 of their 27 games overall.
A win for Excelsior is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 9 games.
PSV, Recent FormThe PSV players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against NEC Nijmegen recently, that ended in a 3-1 defeat. In that game they had 66% possession and managed 27 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to NEC Nijmegen who had 8 attempts and 4 on target.
Manager Peter Bosz will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 14 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 43 games in a row, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games away from home.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way. It's been a good season so far with them having won 23 of their 27 league games.
On an individual basis, Luuk de Jong will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 22 goals in PSV's 27 league games this season.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, PSV produced a comfortable 3-1 victory.
Rood-witten will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Excelsior having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 19 meetings. In their recent meetings PSV have had no problem breaking down Roodzwarten's defence, having found the back of the net 21 times in their last 5 games. In their past 5 meetings, PSV's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Roodzwarten will have to take their chances when they come.
PSV have dominated this fixture in the past, winning the last 10 times in a row when they have played Excelsior in the league.
Luuk de Jong will be looking to get on the scoresheet for PSV against Excelsior in this one, having netted 6 goals in the previous 5 encounters between the two.
Excelsior manager Marinus Dijkhuizen has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Redouan El Yaakoubi (Unknown), Lennard Hartjes (Knee), Troy Parrott (Unknown), Kik Pierie (Foot), Serano Seymor (Unknown), Ian Smeulers (Unknown) and Arthur Zagré (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With Luuk de Jong (Muscle) and Mauro Júnior (Groin) both unavailable and Noa Lang (Hamstring) being out for the rest of the season, PSV manager Peter Bosz will be glad to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
