PSV Eindhoven's performance in the league has been exceptional, and their 3-0 win at home against the Go Ahead Eagles on Wednesday was confirmation of that.

Before that, they made light work of newly promoted Almere City as they won 4-0 away from home, although that win comes after a disappointing Champions League group stage campaign, losing 4-0 to Arsenal on the road.

The Lightbulbs have lost one of their twelve matches in all competitions, recording ten wins and two draws. With the second matchday of the Champions League group stage where they will face off against Sevilla at home three days from now, they will want to pick up their seventh consecutive win in the league by seeing off their opponents in this clash.

They currently occupy first place with 18 points and are three points ahead of second-placed AZ Alkmaar and third-placed FC Twente.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

W. Benitez; S. Dest, A. Ramalho, O. Boscagli, P. Van Aanholt; G. Til, J. Schouten, J. Veerman; H. Lozano, L. De Jong, N. Lang

FC Volendam

Form: DLLLL

Volendam pulled off a thrilling comeback in their most recent match against Heracles Almelo at home to salvage a point in a dramatic 2-2 draw.

Although that result was supposed to bring smiles to their faces, it was the opposite, as this meant that they have failed to win their opening five matches in the league, recording four losses and a draw.

Away from home, they find themselves on a two-match losing streak and have conceded seven goals in the process. In the previous season, they managed to hold their opponents in this impending encounter to a 1-1 draw on the road, though this came after a five-match losing run, and given their struggles in the current season, nothing much can be expected from them in this one.

They currently occupy seventeenth place with one point in the standings within the relegation zone and are two points behind safety.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Backhaus; Plat, Mirani, Benamar, Payne; De Haan, Twigt, Zeefuik; Ould-Chikh, Muhren, Kuol

Head-To-Head

In the last 19 meetings, PSV Eindhoven have won 15 times, FC Volendam 1 time, and there have been 3 draws, with the goal difference being 77-11 in favor of PSV Eindhoven.
