On Wednesday, February 5, PSV will host Feyenoord in the quarterfinals of the KNVB Cup. The match kicks off at 18:45 CET. My bet is on the total number of goals in this match.
Interesting facts and head-to-head history
- PSV has scored exactly three goals in each of its last four matches.
- PSV remains unbeaten at home this season across all competitions.
- Feyenoord has won just one of its last five away matches.
- This season, PSV convincingly beat Feyenoord 3-0 in their Eredivisie round 17 clash, though the Rotterdam side triumphed on penalties in the Dutch Super Cup.
Match preview
PSV is having another strong season. However, unlike last year, when Peter Bosz's team was a dominant champion, things are more competitive now. PSV leads the Eredivisie but is only two points ahead of Ajax, who also have a game in hand.
In their last league fixture, Eindhoven unexpectedly dropped points in a 3-3 draw against NEC, a result that could ultimately cost them first place. Before that, they edged NAC Breda 3-2 and suffered a shocking 1-3 defeat to Zwolle. In the previous KNVB Cup round, PSV barely scraped past Excelsior, winning via a penalty shootout.
Last week, PSV defeated an experimental Liverpool side 3-2 in the Champions League, securing a place in the knockout round, where they will face Juventus in the preliminary phase.
Feyenoord, on the other hand, is far from competing for the league title this season. The KNVB Cup represents their last hope for silverware following their Dutch Super Cup triumph. The Rotterdam club is only fifth in the Eredivisie, trailing PSV by 14 points.
In their last four Eredivisie matches, Feyenoord has picked up just one point, most recently losing 1-2 to Ajax. Before that, they drew with Willem II and lost 1-2 to Utrecht.
However, in the Champions League, Feyenoord was one of the biggest surprises. Despite a crushing 1-6 defeat to Lille in the final group stage match, they managed to finish 19th overall and will face AC Milan in the first round of the knockout stage.
Probable lineups
- PSV: Benitez; Ledesma, Flamingo, Obispo, Junior; Veerman, Schouten; Bakayoko, Saibiri, Perisic; De Jong
- Feyenoord: Wellenreuther; Nieuwkoop, Trauner, Hancko, Bueno; Milambo, Timber, Hwang; Hadj-Moussa, Ueda, Paixao
PSV vs Feyenoord prediction
PSV matches tend to be high-scoring affairs, while Feyenoord is struggling defensively. I expect over 3 goals to be scored in this match.
