Prediction: 1-3
PSV
Saturday’s football game at Koning Willem II Stadion pits together Willem II and PSV, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the 2024/2025 Eredivisie campaign. Les Tricolores aim to recover from a 3-2 loss to Utrecht and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the reigning champions. Head coach Peter Maes will be watching the game from the stands due to suspension, while the likes of Dani Mathieu, Erik Schouten, and Niels van Berkel should miss out with injuries.
The title holders, on the other hand, aim to keep their 100% record in the new Eredivisie season intact and seeing that Willem II struggled defensively against Utrecht, away win should be considered. Fit-again PSV forward Noah Lang is pushing for a start, while pacey winger Hirving Lozano remains on the sidelines with injury. Former Barcelona wing-back Sergino Dest is a major doubt.
Highlighted Player (Luuk de Jong):
The 26-year-old Dutch striker Luuk de Jong is considered one of Europe’s deadliest strikers with his incredible return of goals in games he spends playing. Luuk de Jong began his football career at De Graafschap in 2008, but moved on to Twente only a year later.
The tally of 39 goals in 76 league appearances earned him a transfer to Borussia Monchengladbach, but his spell in Germany ended in disappointment. Bundesliga club attempted to revive his career by sending him out on loan to Newcastle United but his stint with the English club yielded even more disappointment and concluded in utter disaster with De Jong playing 12 games without scoring a single goal for the Magpies.
A return to Netherlands and PSV Eindhoven turned out to be a proper hit for the 26-year-old striker who has restored his scoring touch with more than 50 goals for the Boeren after less than 90 games.
Highlighted Team (Willem II):
Based in Tilburg, Netherlands, Willem II is a professional football club that competes in the Eredivisie. The Tricolores were founded back in August 1896 under the name of Tilburgia, but the club’s first big success came in the 1915/16 season when they won the national championship.
Willem II repeated the success in the 1951/52 Eredivisie campaign, with the team winning their third domestic trophy three years later. When it comes to KNVB Cup, the Tricolores have won it on two occasions (1943/44, 1962/63). Willem II are well known for their white shirts with red and blue strips, while their away kit is mainly mint with dark navy accents.
The Tricolores play home matches at Koning Willem II Stadion, the venue with the capacity of 14,700 spectators. Willem II have fierce rivals in Nac Breda, as the cities of Breda and Tilburg are only 20 kilometers apart. Former Barcelona and Arsenal star Marc Overmars is one of the most notable footballers who played for the club.
