Team News

Twente
PSV Eindhoven
  • Four players will miss the match for Twente this weekend: Taylor Booth, Sam Lammers, and Gerald Alders are ruled out through respective injuries while Mees Hilgers serves a suspension.
  • Hilgers reached the yellow card threshold in Twente's 1-1 draw at PEC Zwolle last time out, meaning head coach Joseph Oosting will be forced to make at least one change. He has options in terms of like-for-like replacements, though Gustaf Lagerbielke is expected to come in and partner Alec Van Hoorenbeeck in central defence.
  • The rest of Twente's lineup should be unchanged, though attacking midfielder Arno Verschueren, forward Naci Ünüvar, and striker Lucas Vennegoor of Hesselink are pushing for starts.
  • One player who has been irreplaceable for Twente is Sem Steijn, who is the team's top scorer with 23 goals—more than any rival player in the league—nine of which have been the crucial first goal of the match.
  • Only three players are missing for PSV, who are looking to reduce Ajax's lead atop the Eredivisie to six points.
  • Lucas Pérez, Wessel Kuhn, and Ricardo Pepi are out with respective injuries.
  • Head coach Peter Bosz should not make too many changes from his last starting lineup, though centre-back Adamo Nagalo, defensive midfielder Jerdy Schouten, and attacking midfielder Guus Til are pushing for inclusion from kickoff.
  • Luuk de Jong will, as usual, lead PSV's attack. He has netted 12 goals, one more than Pepi.

Prediction

  • Champions League hopefuls PSV continue their pursuit of a spot in next season's tournament on Thursday as they travel to De Grolsch Veste to face Twente, who are currently sitting mid-table.
  • In their latest league match, PSV secured a commanding 5-0 victory over Almere City. This win has left them in second place with 64 points, trailing first-placed Ajax by nine points, and leading third-placed Feyenoord by five points as they aim for a Champions League berth.
  • Twente currently occupies the fifth position with 48 points, having scored 55 goals and conceded 41. In their recent Eredivisie match at MAC³PARK Stadion, they played to a 1-1 draw against PEC Zwolle, which extended their winless streak to four matches.
  • When these two teams last faced each other in the Eredivisie, PSV emerged victorious with a 6-1 win at Philips Stadion in December. Ismael Saibari was a standout performer, scoring twice in the 47th and 54th minutes. Noa Lang, Malik Tillman, Richard Ledezma, and Ricardo Pepi also contributed goals, while Sem Steijn scored the only goal for Twente in the 10th minute.
  • PSV has had the upper hand against Twente in their recent encounters, winning four consecutive matches since February 2023. During this stretch, PSV has outscored Twente by a total of 13 goals to 2.
  • At home this season, Twente has accumulated 31 points from a possible 42 in their 14 Eredivisie matches. Meanwhile, PSV has recorded nine wins, one draw, and four losses in their away league games this season.
  • In their last six league matches, Twente has managed one win, three draws, and two losses. In contrast, PSV has won four and lost two of their last six matches.
