Currently placed in 11th place in the standings with six points from five games, Fortuna Sittard will be aiming to bounce back from their demoralizing weekday defeat at the hands of Ajax Amsterdam, which saw them concede five goals without an answer. 

However, it seems they'll have their backs against the wall in their bid for a favorable outcome as they go up against a side they've failed to defeat in the last 18 matches (L15, D3), with their best result in this fixture dating back to 1999, winning 6-4 at home.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Branderhorst; Pinto, Ottele, Adewoye, Grujcic; Bastien, Fosso, Rosier; Peterson, Bullaude, Halilovic

PSV Eindhoven

PSV Eindhoven was involved in European action on Tuesday, and their opponents were none other than the Old Lady Juventus. Unfazed by their opponents' credentials in the UCL, they were confident of securing a positive outcome. However, things didn't go according to plan as they lost 3-1 at the Allianz Stadium.

The Farmers now return to league action where they've made a perfect start. Their recent 2-0 win over NAC Breda at the weekend extended their winning run to five matches. They currently boast the best offense in the league and have a +17 goal difference, and only AZ Alkmaar comes closest with 13.

With 15 points accumulated from five matches, PSV Eindhoven sits in second place in the Eredivisie standings and has maintained a two-point cushion over third-placed FC Utrecht.
