Prediction: 2-3
PSV
Buoyed by a come-from-behind win over NEC, PSV will look to retain top position in the standings when they take on RKC Waalwijk at Mandemakers Stadion. The league leaders have a chance to cement first place as Feyenoord and Ajax face each other in De Klassieker on Sunday, and we are positive that Roger Schmidt’s troops are going to leave their hearts on the field.
Carlos Vinicius should continue to lead the line for the visitors after scoring a late winner in the last league match, but Madueke, Propper, Zahavi, and Sambo continue to miss out with injuries. RKC, on the other hand, suffered a 2-1 loss to Twente in their last league fixture, with the team remaining in the danger zone. Considering that PSV have been in a thrilling form of late, we do not believe that the hosts are capable of grabbing something from Sunday’s clash.
Highlighted Player (Vurnon Anita):
Vurnon Anita is yet another product of famous Ajax youth football academy. The defensive midfielder made a great progress during his spell with the Eredivisie outfit as he played for the first team from 2006 to 2012. During the 2011/2012 season Anita was on Newcastle United’s radar, but Ajax chiefs rejected Newcastle’s first bid for the player.
Nonetheless, the two clubs eventually came to an agreement and the Dutch footballer moved to St. James’ Park in the summer of 2012. Vurnon Anita signed for the Magpies for a fee of £6.7 million and he made his Newcastle debut on August 18, 2012 in a 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the opening game of the season.
After making 133 appearances in the league for the Magpies, Anita joined Leeds United on July 6, 2017, signing a three-year deal with the Championship club. Vurnon Anita made his debut for Netherlands in a 2-1 win over Mexico in May, 2010. His main position is defensive midfield, but he can play as a full-back as well.
Highlighted Team (PSV):
Based in Eindhoven, Netherlands, PSV is a professional football club competing the top flight of the Dutch football, Eredivisie. PSV play their home games at the Phillips Stadium which can accommodate 35,000 people.
