NAC Breda

Form: LWWWL

Despite being in control for large spells of the game in their most recent league match against Heracles Almelo, it was one of those bad days at the office for NAC Breda, who left the Erve Asito licking their wounds after a 2-0 defeat. Prior to this, they suffered a shocking 2-1 defeat at the hands of third-tier side BVV Barendrecht in the first round of the Dutch Cup, bringing an end to their faint cup hopes this season.

Home advantage should provide them with some belief to return to winning ways, having won their last three matches and kept two clean sheets in the process. However, they should be pleased with their start to the top flight as they sit in ninth place, tied on points with the eighth-placed Go Ahead Eagles occupying the last European football spot. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 3-5-2

Bielica; Kemper, Kongolo, Lucassen; Sauer, Jensen, Leemans, Balard, Kaied; Omarsson, Paula

PSV Eindhoven

Form: LWWWW

After struggling in the new-look UCL league phase, failing to win any of their three games (D2, L1), PSV Eindhoven finally secured their first win of the competition on the fourth attempt, and they did so in fashionable style as they thrashed Spain's Girona 4-0 at home on a Tuesday evening. This extended their unbeaten run at the Philips Stadion in the UEFA Champions League to eight matches (W4, D4).

It was a much-needed response to boost their confidence after suffering their first defeat of the season in the Eredivisie, losing 3-2 to archrivals Ajax Amsterdam over the weekend, halting their ten-game winning streak. However, that loss hasn't affected their position at the summit, as they are five points clear at the top.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Benitez; Dams, Boscagli, Flamingo, Karsdorp; Saibari, Til, Tillman; Perisic, De Jong, Bakayoko

Expert Betting Tips

PSV Eindhoven had a strong response in the UEFA Champions League against Girona on Tuesday after suffering their first defeat in the Eredivisie at the hands of Ajax Amsterdam. They now have to back up that win with another decisive victory against a side that has won their last three home matches. However, that shouldn't hinder their prospects of making it back-to-back wins, as they have been the superior side in this fixture by a mile.

As such, we anticipate backing the away side in the full-time market combined with a total of over 3.5 goals. This has been the case in three of their last six matches in this fixture.
