Prediction: 0-2
PSV
PSV will be aiming to build on a hard-fought win over Vitesse when they take on Emmen in the Eredivisie round 18. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s men did well to put an end to their three-game winless run, with the team keeping their title hopes alive, but they should not stop now. Luuk de Jong, who limped off with injury in the last league match, should recover in time to face Emmen, while all Savio, Saibari, Fofana, and Boscagli remain in the treatment room.
Dick Lukkien’s troops, on the other hand, are on a four-match winless run in the Dutch top flight, and seeing that they experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to NEC, away win should be considered. As for the home side, all Guclu, Burnet, Hardeveld, Lieder, and Kieftenbeld are out of contention through injuries.
Highlighted Player (Anwar el Ghazi):
Anwar El Ghazi is a product of famous Ajax football academy and it has to be noted that he scored 20 goals in 70 matches for the first team from 2014 to 2017. El Ghazi played for the likes of BVV Barendrecht, Feyenoord, Spartaan ’20 and Sparta Rotterdam during his youth career as well and, speaking of the first-team football, he moved to Ligue 1 side Lille in January 2017 for a fee of €8 million.
The pacey winger scored one goal in 12 appearances for les Dogues in the 2016/2017 Ligue 1 campaign, but, no doubt, there is a bright future ahead of the former Ajax starlet. Seeing that he has a dual citizenship, Anwar El Ghazi is eligible to represent both Netherlands and Morocco at senior level, but he made his debut for the Orange in a 2-1 win over Kazakhstan, with the Lille winger starting the match in a 4-3-3 formation alongside Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Memphis Depay.
Anwar El Ghazi is capable of playing as a centre-forward as well and his preferred foot is right.
