Match Preview
| Sunday’s Eredivisie action kicks off with a seemingly predictable encounter between Venlo and title-chasing PSV. The hosts have failed to beat this opposition in 14 encounters here (D3, L11), and have to go back to 1976/77 for their last victory! |
| However if Venlo are to have a chance against the Dutch giants, it would be here; Maurice Steijn’s men have earned 65.63% of their total points at home, and are unbeaten in nine of their last 11 Eredivisie matches at De Koel (W6, D3, L2). |
| Yet this venue firmly ranks as the Eredivisie’s least-entertaining ground based on total goals scored (2.42 per match average), largely due to the fact that Venlo have the joint-best defensive record at home outside of the ‘Big Three’ sides. |
| Despite the fact PSV have lost just once in the league all season, their lead at the top remains a tenuous one due to a run of three 2-2 draws from their last four Eredivisie away matches. Notably, PSV came back from 2-0 down at the break in the last two of those stalemates. |
| In fact ten of the visitor’s 16 conceded league goals this season have come in the first half (62.5%), though they often strike late on, scoring 30.77% of their total 78-goal haul in the final 15 minutes of games. |
| Players to watch: PSV’s Eredivisie top-scorer Luuk de Jong (21 goals) also holds the league-high amount of headed goals (eight). Meanwhile, Jonathan Opoku has scored three goals across his last three Venlo starts – he netted the opener twice. |
| Stat attack: Venlo have conceded at least twice in ten of their last 11 home defeats to PSV. |
| Maurice Steijn has a shocking managerial record against PSV (L10) – (4.2 goals conceded per match average). |
| PSV have scored two or more goals in 14 of their last 15 Eredivisie away matches. |
