A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and 14th place in the table will show on the pitch.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
PSV form and stats
16 points is a decent return from 7 Eredivisie games here at Philips Stadion for PSV. The data says 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.
The home team returns to Philips Stadion after sharing the points with FC Emmen (placed 13th) on their last time out; the Eredivisie game ended 1-1. Prior to that, an away loss at Sporting CP in the Europa League.
PSV are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Philips Stadion with maximum points. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. 19 earlier games are comparable to this one, and PSV has won 17 times, drawn 1 and lost 1. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that PSV has won by at least two goals 14 times when in this position.

Fortuna Sittard form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Fortuna Sittard, who have the most conceded goals (25) away in Eredivisie, so far with only 1 point returning home. The records show 0-1-6 (win-draw-lose). A depressing five defeats in a row for Fortuna Sittard in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus SC Heerenveen.
The supporters enjoyed Fortuna Sittard's previous game versus FC Groningen (placed 10th), a Eredivisie 1-0 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against PEC Zwolle wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
Nobody expects Fortuna Sittard to collect points from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath eleven times before, with the overall statistics of won 3, draw 1 and lost 7. When defeated, 5 matches have been lost by two or more goals.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Fortuna Sittard as they have only managed to score 5 times from 7 away games in the league. There are big problems for the Fortuna Sittard defense as they have conceded 25 goals in 7 away games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): PSV 2 wins, 0 draws and Fortuna Sittard 0 victories. As for goals, 2 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 0 games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
