Match Preview

Ready for goals galore? Three of PSV’s last four Eredivisie home games have witnessed over 1.5 first-half goals, and over 3.5 total goals in the game. The hosts have also scored 31 goals across their 11 Eredivisie home games in 2019, for 2.82 per-match on average.
Still unbeaten this Eredivisie season, following a 1-1 draw in ‘De Topper’, PSV have lost just two of the 52 all-time Eredivisie H2Hs played out in Eindhoven (W37, D13, L2). Furthermore, current manager Mark van Bommel oversaw victory his only top-flight H2H to date, after seeing his side lead at half-time.
As a potential foil to the expectation of goals, Groningen’s away games average a league-low 1.33 total goals per match right now, which is well below the league average of 3.47. Additionally, all three of Groningen’s away league games this season have been level at the break – twice goalless.
Things may well open up after the break though, with nine of the 13 goals scored (either way) in Groningen’s league matches coming after half-time (69.23%). In a decidedly bad omen for the visitors though, Groningen coach Danny Buijs has lost both prior clashes with PSV by a 2-1 scoreline.
Players to watch: PSV’s Donyell Malen has scored seven goals across his last three home appearances, with 57.14% of those coming in the second half.
After scoring in back-to-back league games, Ajdan Hrustic has now contributed half of Groningen’s Eredivisie-low six goal return.
Stat attack: PSV’s last three Eredivisie home victories have seen them win the second half by a margin of over 1.5 goals, and with a clean sheet.
Groningen (3.17) have received more than three times as many average cards as PSV (1.0) across the last six H2Hs.
None of the last five home H2Hs have seen 4+ goals in the game (1.6 per-match on average).
