A nice win for PSV last time playing, versus Vitesse. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with Donyell Malen and Mario Götze (2) scoring for the victors. Prior to that, an away loss at Olympiakos Piraeus in the Europa League.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
