Prediction: 0-2
PSV
PSV will be aiming to melt Feyenoord’s advantage in the Eredivisie standings when they take on Fortuna Sittard on Matchday 16. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s troops failed to impress in a goalless draw with Sparta at the weekend, but they did well to beat the Rotterdammers in the Dutch Cup on Tuesday evening to regain a much-needed confidence. Cody Gakpo is no longer part of the team, but van Nistelrooy still has a number of high-profile players to choose from.
All Boscagli, Fofana, Peersman, Savio, and Mauro Junior should miss out with injuries for the away team. The hosts kicked off 2023 with a 2-0 loss to Go Ahead Eagles, and given their ten-game losing run in meetings with PSV, we predict that the visitors are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s clash. Both Ferati and Siovas should miss out with injuries for the home side.
Highlighted Player (Oguzhan Ozyakup):
The 23-year-old Netherlands-born Turkish international Oguzhan Ozyakup is a midfielder who started his professional career at Premier League giants Arsenal. Ozyakup arrived to the London-based club as a schoolboy from AZ and went through Arsenal academy, before making his competitive debut in a League Cup match against Shrewsbury Town, when he supplied the assist for Yossi Benayoun in a 3-1 victory.
The Turkish international however failed to break into the first-team and was transferred to Besiktas in 2012. Turkey international has passed the 100-match mark for his club in 2016 and is considered one of the more experienced and most valuable players of the club, despite he is only 23 years of age.
The talented midfielder was subject of intense transfer speculation during the 2016 summer transfer window with Valencia reportedly expressing interest in signing the Turkish footballer, but Ozyakup remained at Besiktas and went on to extend his contract, which will keep him at the Vodafone Arena until 2018.
