PSV vs HFC prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – December 17, 2024
Koninklijke HFC
One of the matches in the KNVB Cup will be played on Tuesday in Eindhoven, where PSV will host HFC. We suggest a bet on the outcome of this match with good chances of success.
Match preview
PSV is having another successful season and is comfortably leading the Eredivisie standings. They are ahead of their closest rivals, Ajax, by a solid six points. It could have been more, but last weekend, PSV surprisingly lost 0-1 away to Heerenveen.
It's worth noting that earlier last week, PSV played a Champions League match in France, where they suffered a narrow 0-1 defeat to Brest. Prior to these two matches, PSV had won six consecutive games across all competitions. At home, PSV has only lost once this year, in a friendly against Anderlecht.
On the other hand, HFC is a team from the second division, having an overall mediocre season. After 17 rounds, they occupy a modest ninth place in the standings, with a 16-point gap from the top spot.
In their most recent match, HFC won 2-1 away against Hardenberg. This victory marked their second in the last five rounds, with an equal number of defeats. In nine away matches, HFC has earned three wins and suffered four losses.
