PEC Zwolle have had a bad season and will be relegated from Eredivisie. This arena has artifical turf, which is not PSV's regular surface at their own football pitch. When appearing on artifical turf PSV have performed like this: Played nine matches with the results 8 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats with the goal stats 25-9 (scored/conceded).

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
