Match preview

PSV Eindhoven ended a two-game winless streak courtesy of narrow 1-0 victory against RKC Waalwijk in last Sunday's meeting between the sides.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's men were in the ascendancy for the majority of the contest but they had to wait until the sixth minute of second-half stoppage time when Cody Gakpo opened the scoring from 12 yards.

As a result, The Rood-Witten have moved up to third place in the league standings and could potentially reclaim leadership of the division will all three points in their next outing.

Standing in the way is an opposing outfit who are yet to suffer defeat in any of the last nine encounters between the teams across all competitions.

Unbeaten in seven of their last eight home matches heading into Sunday's fixture, the home side will fancy themselves to get the job done here.

Feyenoord made it two wins from two matches in the Europa League by defeating Austrian side Sturm Graz 6-0 at De Kuip on Thursday evening.

First-half goals from David Hancko and Danilo sandwiched in between an Alireza Jahanbakhsh brace set Arne Slot's men on their way to success before Santiago Gimenez and Oussama Idrissi got in on the act in the second half.

Prior to that, De Stadionclub eased past the threat of Sparta Rotterdam courtesy of a 3-0 triumph and currently sit second in the Eredivisie table.

Having netted nine times in their three league games on the road so far, Sunday's visitors will be aiming to put on another impressive attacking display away from home.
