The upcoming Eredivisie match between Fortuna Sittard and PSV is shaping up to be an intense and closely contested battle, as both teams will be looking to come out on top for different reasons. Fortuna Sittard are currently sitting in thirteenth place in the league standings, with just four points separating them from the relegation zone, while PSV are third. The hosts will be looking to improve their performances in order to secure their spot in the top tier of Dutch football for next season. The team has struggled recently, with just one win in their last seven competitive games and only two wins in fourteen home matches, which makes them a bit of an underdog in this match. In addition, they have failed to score in each of their last four home matches and lost each of their last six when hosting PSV, which gives them a lot to prove. 

On the other hand, PSV struggled to beat Sparta Rotterdam but strikes from Xavi Simons and Noni Madueke came to their rescue to progress to the next round of the Dutch Cup. With the loss of Cody Gakpo to Liverpool, the above players will become ever more important for Van Nistelrooy’s attack, given how talismanic the young attacking midfielder was for his team. PSV are currently in third place in the league standings, just three points behind the leaders Feyenoord. They will be looking to secure a win to stay within striking distance of the top spot. The Eindhoven side have had a mixed start to the season, with just two goals in two competitive games after the break and just one loss in their last seven games overall. However, they have been solid on the road, winning each of their last four away games, while all those games featured Under 3.5 goals, and they have only conceded more than one goal once in eight away games, which makes them an important team to watch out for.
