PSV Eindhoven vs FC Twente Prediction: The Red and Whites Have Their Fingers Crossed For A Third Place Finish!

PSV Eindhoven will host FC Twente in the 23rd round of the Eredivisie at the Philips Stadion.

Let's have a look at the latest Netherlands Eredivisie predictions between PSV Eindhoven vs FC Twente, team news, probable lineups, match facts and up to date betting odds for you to consider!

PSV Eindhoven

Form: DWDWL

The Red and Whites faced a difficult task in their return to the second leg of the Europa League round of 32 against Sevilla at home, as they needed to overcome a three-goal deficit suffered in the first leg, which proved to be more difficult than they had anticipated, only managing to score two unanswered goals and ending the day with a 2:0 victory and elimination from competition.

Though the Europa League is no longer within their grasp and is definitely out of the question, they will now turn their attention to the KNVB Cup, where they still have a chance to lift the trophy alongside the likes of Feyenoord and Ajax Amsterdam.

They recently played FC Utrecht on the road in the Eredivisie, and it was nothing short of a frustrating day for them as their defense allowed unwarranted goals, causing them to be held to a 2:2 draw, which was not the outcome they had anticipated and dented their chances of climbing into the top three in the standings.

With 8 points accumulated in their last five matches, they are now in fourth place with 43 points, and the point gap to first place has widened to six points, but they are still in contention for the title, which will be music to Ruud van Nistelrooy's ears, but they will not tolerate another drop in points from now on.

Team News

PSV Eindhoven will be without their usual trio of Thorgan Hazard, Anwar El-Ghazi, and Savio for this match.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Benitez; Teze, Ramalho, Branthwaite, Van Aanholt; Veerman, Sangare, Simons; Bakayoko, De Jong, Saibari

FC Twente

Form: LWDDD

The visitors come into this game after being denied their second consecutive victory of 2023 for the third time, as they were defeated 2:0 away against the Go Ahead Eagles, and Ron Jans' men will be eager to bounce back to winning ways this time around.

Prior to that, they ran out comfortable winners against FC Volendam, winning 3:0 thanks to first-half goals from Brenet, Cerny, and Hilgers. Despite having 10 shots on goal to their opponents' 2, they put in excellent first- and second-half efforts to put goalie Filip Stankovic under pressure.

They've been flooded with two draws, two defeats, and one win in their previous five games played, and it goes without saying that they haven't had one of their best performances to date, as their form has been fairly weak to count on as crucial to their success in matches.

They are currently in 5th place with 40 points, three points ahead of Sparta Rotterdam (6th) and FC Utrecht (7th).

Team News

FC Twente is dealing with two injuries ahead of this match, as Michal Sadilek and Wout Brama are both out.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Unnerstall; Smal, Bruns, Hilgers, Brenet; Steijn, Kjolo, Salah-Eddine; Misidjan, Cerny, Van Wolfswinkel

FC Twente's away form has been unsatisfactory in their previous five games, as they are without a win, with four draws and one loss, which is enough to suggest that they will record a disappointing result that falls short of their expectations of a triumph.

PSV Eindhoven, on the other hand, has been solid at home, winning three consecutive games, and while they were denied their second consecutive victory in their most recent away match, it's safe to say they'll be eager to extend their winning streak at home to four games.

Expect the hosts to win this game easily; they have been the dominant team in recent meetings, winning three of their last five home games against FC Twente.
