PSV Eindhoven vs. FC Twente: Match Preview & Betting Tips
After a disappointing start to their season with a loss to PEC Zwolle, FC Twente is gearing up for a major challenge as they host the reigning champions, PSV Eindhoven, at De Grolsch Veste this Sunday.
On the other side, PSV is riding high after a commanding win against Sparta Rotterdam in their season opener. With a dominant track record against Twente—winning their last six matches—they're the clear favorites heading into this weekend's clash.
Twente's struggles with goalscoring were evident in their last game, despite a fantastic performance from their goalkeeper, Tom de Graaff. This has been a recurring issue for the team, as they've scored only one goal in their last five competitive and pre-season matches.
Despite this, Twente’s home record is impressive. They had the fifth-best home performance in the Eredivisie last season, losing only three out of 17 matches. However, their history against PSV, with six straight defeats, could dampen the home crowd's spirits.
In contrast, PSV's fans have every reason to be optimistic. The team has a strong track record at De Grolsch Veste, where they haven't been beaten in two consecutive visits since 2022. They've also dominated recent matchups, outscoring Twente 16-4 in their last five league victories.
PSV's explosive 6-1 win in their season opener, with six different goalscorers, shows they're not holding back. Their finishing was incredibly efficient, with half of their 12 shots on target finding the back of the net. While this level of efficiency is hard to maintain, their past dominance over Twente and the home team's scoring struggles suggest another positive result for PSV.
Team News
Twente is still dealing with an injury concern for Sam Lammers, who is nearing a return from a dislocated shoulder. Despite the team's loss last week, defender Mats Rots put in a strong performance and will be a key player to watch.
Meanwhile, PSV has a clean bill of health. It's likely that manager Peter Bosz will field the same winning lineup from last weekend. Ivan Perisic and Joey Veerman were standouts in their last match, each contributing two assists, and will be looking to make an impact once again.
