Round two of the Eredivisie campaign and the participants have adjusted from insights gained in the first fixture. Here's the PSV - SC Cambuur pre-match guide:

The hosts PSV saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Champions League. That game was an away game at Benfica, so at least PSV are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

13 - 3 - 3 with 37-12. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for SC Cambuur when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. SC Cambuur play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.

No payout for PSV in their previous match, an away game at Benfica that ended in defeat 1-2. Cody Gakpo (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.14/10. Gakpo scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled passed the opponent 3 of 5 times.

SC Cambuur form and stats

Let's have a look at how SC Cambuur performed last season in the Eerste Divisie: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 29 victories, 5 draws and 4 defeats. In total they scored 109 and conceded 36 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 14 - drew 4 and lost 1 with 49/17 goals scored/conceded. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes SC Cambuur's record of four away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Roda JC Kerkrade game.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Eredivisie home defeat versus FC Groningen with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Doke Schmidt, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.42. Schmidt won 11 of 13 duels. SC Cambuur were so close to getting something from the game against FC Groningen, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal two minutes into overtime.

A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs NAC Breda.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last seven meetings: six - one - zero (PSV wins - draws - SC Cambuur wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.
