🗞️ Team News: PSV Eindhoven

We are thinking that Rood-witten may well line up in a 4-2-3-1 system this time and select Matej Kovar, Kilian Sildillia, Jerdy Schouten, Armando Obispo, Anass Salah-Eddine, Paul Wanner, Joey Veerman, Dennis Man, Ismael Saibari, Ivan Perisic and Ricardo Pepi.

ℹ️ Team News: NEC

We are inclined to think that NEC seem likely to make use of a 3-4-3 formation, starting the game with Jasper Cillessen, Ahmetcan Kaplan, Philippe Sandler, Deveron Fonville, Danilo, Darko Nejasmic, Kodai Sano, Basar Onal, Tjaronn Chery, Bryan Linssen and Noe Lebreton.

💭 Prediction

PSV Eindhoven should dominate possession and create several successful chances.

In contrast, NEC may well struggle to make a breakthrough although we do see them converting at least once as well.

We’re therefore expecting to see a controlled 3-1 margin for PSV Eindhoven at full-time.
