Prediction: 1-3
PSV
PSV will look to clinch top position in the standings when they take on Zwolle in the Eredivisie round 23. The league leaders head into Saturday’s clash following a 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund and, no doubt, tired legs could prove to be a big problem for Peter Bosz’s troops. The former Ajax boss is likely to mix the squad, with all Babadi, Obispo, and Mauro Junior pushing for a start. Both Noa Lang and Armel Bella-Kotchap continue to miss out with injuries.
Zwolle, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Almere City and they face yet another uphill task against the title hopefuls. PSV are more of a team than Zwolle and regardless of which players will be deployed in the starting XI, away triumph should be considered. Both Nick Fichtinger and Ferdy Druijf are out of contention through injuries for the visiting team.
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 (Zwolle):
Founded on June 12, 1910, PEC Zwolle is a Dutch football club which competes in the Eredivisie. Zwolle have yet to win the national championship, but they did remarkably well to lift the Dutch Cup trophy in 2014. Ron Jans’s troops impressed in the title game, with the team rolling over Dutch giants Ajax 5-1.
The Blauwingers play their home games at MACPARK Stadion, the venue with the capacity of 14,000 people. The multi-use stadium was opened on August 29, 2009. Zwolle’s home kit is blue and white, while the colour of their away jersey is green and white. In the 2014/15 season the Blauwingers represented the Netherlands in the Europa League, with the team losing to Sparta Prague in the play-off round.
The likes of Henk Timmer (237), Johan Hansma (231), Bert Konterman (219), Arne Slot (208), and Jasper Drost (182) are the players with the most league appearances for the club. Go Ahead Eagles are considered the club’s biggest rivals as both teams are located at the river Ijssel.
