🗞️ Team News: PSV Eindhoven

Jerdy Schouten (Knee problems), Lucas Pérez (tuberculosis) and Ricardo Pepi (Knee injury) will be missing for PSV Eindhoven boss Peter Bosz.

In our view, Rood-witten look set to employ a 4-3-3 system for this game featuring Walter Benitez, Sergino Dest, Ryan Flamingo, Olivier Boscagli, Mauro Junior, Guus Til, Joey Veerman, Malik Tillman, Ivan Perisic, Luuk de Jong and Noa Lang.

📋 Team News: Heracles Almelo

Heracles Almelo manager Erwin van de Looi has to choose a team with limited availability. Nikolai Laursen (Cruciate ligament tear) and Sava-Arangel Cestic (Broken ankle) are not able to play.

It’s our belief that Heraclieden seem most likely to elect for a 4-1-3-2 lineup, giving starts to Fabian de Keijzer, Mimeirhel Benita, Damon Mirani, Ivan Mesik, Mats Rots, B. De Keersmaecker, Juho Talvitie, Thomas Bruns, Suf Podgoreanu, Luka Kulenovic and Jizz Hornkamp.

🔮 Prediction

We feel that PSV Eindhoven will most probably be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.

However, Heracles Almelo are also probably going to find it difficult to break down their defence but do we see them managing to get on the scoresheet, too.

Therefore, we are anticipating a pretty comfortable 3-1 win for PSV Eindhoven at the end of this one.
