PSV, Recent FormPSV will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 4-2 away win against NEC Nijmegen.
With 16 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Ruud van Nistelrooy will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 8 goals in the same period. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at Philips Stadion recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 6 games.
On an individual basis, Luuk de Jong will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in PSV's last 6 league games.
Excelsior, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 0-0 draw against FC Twente will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Excelsior.
Having lost 13 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Marinus Dijkhuizen will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 5 goals they scored. If they are to pick up more points on the road, they will need to end their run of 5 games without a goal. They have shown some defensive frailties on the road of late, having given away at least 1 goal in 12 of their past 13 away league matches, making points very hard to come by.
Excelsior will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 8 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 12 games.
The last time these two teams met PSV enforced their superiority over Excelsior with a comfortable 1-6 win.
PSV have managed to keep a clean sheet against Roodzwarten in each of their previous 3 meetings at Philips Stadion. PSV will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 17 encounters with Roodzwarten. In their recent meetings Excelsior have struggled to keep Rood-witten at bay, having conceded 17 goals in their last 5 games. Excelsior have struggled to break down the Rood-witten defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
Undefeated in their last 21 league encounters against Excelsior, PSV have dominated this fixture in recent times, winning the last 8 times in a row.
PSV man Luuk de Jong will be confident about extending his scoring record against Excelsior, having hit the netting 3 times in the last 5 times they have met in the league.
PSV manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Walter Benítez (Knee), Jarrad Branthwaite (Physical discomfort), Luuk de Jong (Muscle) and Mauro Júnior (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Marinus Dijkhuizen has a number of injury concerns in his Excelsior squad to contend with: Maxime Awoudja (Muscle), Vicente Besuijen (Hamstring), Jacky Donkor (Knee) and Adrian Fein (Hamstring)
