The Eredivisie match between PSV Eindhoven and Heerenveen will take place at Philips Stadion on Thursday at 11:15 pm IST.
PSV Eindhoven, under the management of Roger Schmidt, are set to host Heerenveen at the Philips Stadion for a midweek Eredivisie encounter on Thursday. PSV recently achieved a historic feat, becoming the first team in the Dutch top-flight to win their initial 14 league matches of the season, following their victory against Feyenoord on Sunday.
PSV Eindhoven, as a Champions League representative, has a Thursday fixture to allow preparation for matchday six, although their dramatic win at Sevilla has already secured advancement. Recovering from their impressive weekend performance poses no significant challenge for Schmidt’s team, given their dominance domestically. With an unprecedented 14 consecutive wins this season, surpassing their own 2018-19 record, PSV leads by 10 points. While prioritizing the title, fans hope to break points records; PSV’s best is 88, while Eredivisie’s record is 93. The recent victory over Feyenoord positions them as strong title contenders, with Arsenal next in the Champions League midweek.
Heerenveen arrives at the Philips Stadion with confidence and a solid recent record against PSV. In their last meeting in May, Kees van Wonderen’s side managed a 3-3 draw, continuing a trend of two draws in the last three encounters at PSV. Heerenveen has won two consecutive games, breaking a five-game away losing streak. Victories over Fortuna Sittard and Almere City propelled them from near the relegation zone to the Europa Conference League playoff positions. Currently seventh, just above Ajax, their aspirations are limited, with an 11-point gap to Twente in the automatic Europa League spot.
PSV Eindhoven probable starting lineup: Benitez, Mauro Junior, Schouten, Boscagli, Van Aanholt, Veerman, Sambo, Saibari, Bakayoko, De Jong, Vertessen
