PSV form and stats

10-1-1 is the performance here at Philips Stadion so far in the Eredivisie, giving PSV a total of 31 from their 12 games here. Outstanding results!

Happy days for PSV in their previous game, a Eredivisie match away at Fortuna Sittard (placed 11th) that ended with a 3-1 victory. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Ajax.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how PSV have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won two times, drawn two and lost two.

PSV can score goals in their home matches. After 12 league matches they have found the net 28 times. From these home matches, PSV have conceded only 8 goals.
