A combined sum of 18 goals were yielded between them during those clashes, with 15 of them for Rood-witten and 3 belonging to Vitas. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 3.

The match was refereed by Bas Nijhuis.

🗞️ Team News: PSV Eindhoven

Ismael Saibari (unknown injury) and Noa Lang (Hamstring injury) will not be able to play for PSV Eindhoven boss Peter Bosz.

In all likelihood, Rood-witten should employ a 4-2-3-1 system for the game with Walter Benitez, Jordan Teze, Andre Ramalho Silva, Olivier Boscagli, Sergino Dest, Armel Bella-Kotchap, Joey Veerman, Johan Bakayoko, Guus Til, Malik Tillman and Luuk de Jong.

ℹ️ Team News: Vitesse

Vitesse boss Edward Sturing has to choose a team with limited availability. Mexx Meerdink (Knee injury), Davy Pröpper (Cruciate ligament injury), Miliano Jonathans (Knee injury) and Fodé Fofana (Knee injury) will not be playing here.

We’re of the thinking that Vitas appear most likely to elect for a 4-3-3 formation, starting the game with Eloy Room, Carlens Arcus, Nicolas Isimat-Mirin, Ramon Hendriks, Enzo Cornelisse, Marco van Ginkel, Mathijs Tielemans, Paxten Aaronson, Anis Hadj Moussa, Thomas Buitink and Amine Boutrah.

🧠 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that PSV Eindhoven will, in all likelihood, dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.

At the other end, Vitesse may well struggle to find the back of the net although we do think that they will probably end up being dangerous at times.

We reckon that it will be a fairly comfortable 3-1 winning margin for PSV Eindhoven after 90 minutes.
