PSV (home)
- PSV are in hot form at home, scoring nine goals in their last three home games in all competitions.
- PSV boss Peter Bosz extended his contract through to 2028 after leading the Eindhoven club to domestic titles with his high-press, high-possession football philosophy.
- PSV’s high tempo and man-oriented pressing are relentless at home, where Guus Til is their leading goal scorer with a double-digit tally, and where Joey Veerman orchestrates from the center with a similar number of assists, setting up transitions and set pieces.
Heerenveen (away)
- Heerenveen boss Robin Veldman returned to the club in 2025 and has implemented a pragmatic possession-based system, but he is also trying to develop some of the squad’s young talent.
- The Frisians will press situationally and with numbers in the 4-2-3-1, but they are not a team that plays with a high level of aggression all over the field.
Head-to-Head
- PSV have won four of the last five head-to-head meetings in Eredivisie and KNVB Cup, including a 4-1 home win over Heerenveen on February 4, 2026.
- PSV have scored at least twice in each of the previous four games between the teams, and that trend should continue in this Eredivisie clash.
Key Players
- Heerenveen’s Jacob Trenskow is the Dutch league’s most in-form goal scorer, having netted in the 3-1 win at Go Ahead Eagles and being a threat late in the game, whereas PSV’s Ismael Saibari has been a reliable goalscorer this season, netting against Groningen.
- Both forwards link the midfield and attack and offer these two sides an option from wide.
- PSV will always have a counter-attacking option, however, with Dennis Man, who chipped in with another great goal at Groningen, available on the right to provide a second goal scoring option.
Betting Insights
The hosts are heavy favourites to win at 1.31 , while Heerenveen are solid underdogs at 8.25 , both of which seem about right given PSV are in the Eredivisie and Heerenveen are in mid-table.
Prediction
We’re going for a comfortable PSV win with a predicted score of 2-0 or 3-0 , although the ‘Both Teams To Score’ market is priced at 1.5 , suggesting there’s a good chance that Heerenveen can nick a goal against a side that should dominate possession.
