Jong PSV
- Jong PSV sits 5th in the Eerste Divisie table with 50 points from 32 matches this season.
- Jong PSV will be frustrated to end the home season with 2 games without a win, following their 1-0 defeat to 8640 in their previous game and a 1-0 defeat away to FC Den Bosch in the match before.
- Jong PSV play a structured 4-3-3 system, pressing high and trying to play high-tempo football, just like their senior team.
- However, there have been moments of weakness in their home game, with a record of 8 wins, 3 draws, and 5 defeats.
- 5th place represents a decent season, though.
Vitesse
- Vitesse are 16th in the Eerste Divisie with 33 points from 32 games.
- SBV Vitesse have had a season of turmoil, and their license saga has forced the club to approach matches in a more pragmatic manner.
- Ruediger Rehm has set up his side to play a fluid, direct system when necessary and sit deep when in troubled waters.
- This has allowed the club to perform as the underdogs in many of their matches, and has seen them impress against De Graafschap (4-1 W) and Roda JC (0-1 W) in their last 3 away games.
Head-to-Head
Jong PSV have a slight edge in this fixture, with 2 wins in the last 3 meetings between the sides, but Vitesse are a dangerous team when they have to be.
Key Players
- Robin van Duiven is Jong PSV’s top scorer this year, finding the back of the net 14 times in 22 Eerste Divisie appearances.
- Vitesse’s most prolific player this campaign has been Dillon Hoogewerf, who has scored 8 times in 31 appearances, and will be Vitesse’s main outlet.
Prediction
Jong PSV will be the favorites for this game, with home advantage and a better league position, and we think they will capitalise on these factors to get a crucial win.
