PSV form and stats

The hosts won their first Eredivisie game here at Philips Stadion, lifting spirits. Home statistics for PSV last season were 14 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss from 17 games.

PSV enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at RKC Waalwijk's place. The match ended 4-0 with Veerman, de Jong, Tillman and Lang scoring. As indicated by the result mentioned above, PSV played a great game against RKC Waalwijk and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. The home side have an in-form goalscorer in de Jong, having found the net in five games in a row. Midfielder Veerman was the best player on the team with a rating of 9.25 (out of ten) in that game. Veerman scored one goal, served one assist, hit seven key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times and had 64 successful passes (of 76 total).

Before that result, a home victory against Rangers in the Champions League. It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how PSV have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 10 games found in the database showing 10 PSV wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats.

PSV are traveling soon after this match as the Champions League match at Arsenal awaits in four days.

At Philips Stadion, PSV has the goal stats of 2-0 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
