Team News

RKC Waalwijk
PSV Eindhoven
  • RKC Waalwijk will be without at least three players this week due to injuries. Yanick van Osch, Dario van den Buijs and Daouda Weidmann are all ruled out.
  • Despite these absences, head coach Henk Fraser is expected to keep the same lineup as in the last match.
  • Oskar Zawada has stood out for Waalwijk this season as the team's leading scorer with nine goals. Three of these goals have set the tone as the first of the match.
  • PSV has no new injury concerns, as they are still missing American players Malik Tillman and Ricardo Pepi. This suggests that head coach Peter Bosz may stick with the starting lineup from last weekend's 2–1 victory over Heerenveen.
  • However, some players are eager for starting opportunities after making an impact off the bench and these include forward Johan Bakayoko, midfielder Joey Veerman, and full-backs Sergiño Dest and Tyrell Malacia.
  • Luuk de Jong and Guus Til have emerged as PSV's primary attacking threats, scoring 11 and nine goals, respectively. De Jong is currently tied for third place among the league's top scorers in the 2024/25 season, while Til is tied for seventh.

Prediction

  • With a spot in next season's Champions League nearly secured, PSV are aiming to add three more points to their Eredivisie total on Saturday at Mandemakers Stadion against RKC Waalwijk, who currently find themselves in the relegation zone.
  • PSV recently achieved a 2-1 victory over Heerenveen at home, breaking a four-match winless streak. They hold second place with 55 points, trailing first-placed Ajax by eight points and leading third-placed Utrecht by six points as they vie for a Champions League spot.
  • RKC Waalwijk, on the other hand, are struggling in 17th place with just 17 points, seven points away from safety with 10 matches remaining. They suffered a 2-1 defeat in their last Eredivisie match at home against Fortuna Sittard.
  • In their previous Eredivisie encounter, PSV triumphed over Waalwijk by a score of 5-1 at Philips Stadion in August. Hirving Lozano was instrumental in that match, scoring two goals in the 72nd and 79th minutes. Johan Bakayoko, Jerdy Schouten, and Malik Tillman also contributed to the scoreline, while Richard van der Venne netted the sole goal for RKC in the 77th minute.
  • At home this season, Waalwijk have recorded three wins, two draws, and seven losses in 12 Eredivisie matches. In contrast, PSV have secured seven wins, one draw, and four losses in their away games this season. They are aiming to end a four-match winless streak on the road, having last won an Eredivisie away game in December 2024 against Utrecht.
  • In their last six league matches, Waalwijk have achieved three wins, one draw, and two losses, while PSV have managed two wins, three draws, and one loss during the same period.
