After grabbing their first win in the UEFA Europa Conference League (league phase) in the form of a 1-0 home victory against Slovan Bratislava, AZ Alkmaar couldn't make it two wins on the bounce last time out.

On Thursday, they made the trip to Selhurst Park to lock horns with Crystal Palace. They came away empty-handed after succumbing to a 3-1 defeat. Sven Mijnans' effort in that match served as consolation amidst the setback.

The Cheese Farmers now focus their energy on the Eredivisie. After a three-match winless run, they have rediscovered their rhythm, winning four straight matches and outscoring their opponents 9-2. In their recent match, a Kees Smit effort in the 69th minute powered them to a 1-0 away victory against Sparta Rotterdam.

AZ Alkmaar: Team News

AZ Alkmaar is struggling with an injury crisis, as many as seven players are ruled out. Three of those players are regular starters, including Jordy Clasie, Denso Kasius, and Mexx Meerdink.

Kees Smit scored his last league game against Sparta Rotterdam and provided an assist in Thursday's UEFA Europa Conference League clash with Crystal Palace. The rising star is expected to keep his position in central midfield alongside Sven Mijnans and Peer Koopmeiners.

Troy Parrot has been the team's top goalscorer with six goals to his name. However, he has failed to score in his last two matches and will aim to put an end to this mini scoring drought this Sunday.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-3-3): Owusu-Oduro; Dijkstra, Goes, Penetra, de Wit; Koopmeiners, Mijnans, Smit; Weslley Patati, Parrott, Jensen.

⛔️ Out: Dave Kwakman (injury), Denso Kasius (injury), Jordy Clasie (ankle injury), Mexx Meerdink (groin injury), Matej Sin (injury), Ro-Zangelo Daal (injury), Seiya Maikuma (knee injury).

👤 Head coach: Maarten Martens.

PSV Eindhoven dodged a bullet in their recent UEFA Champions League (league phase) clash against Olympiacos. It appeared as if they were headed for their second defeat in the competition after Ricardo Pepi equalized in the second half stoppage time to salvage a point in a gritty 1-1 away draw.

The Lightbulbs are now nine matches without defeat across all competitions, recording six wins and three draws. Regarding their performance in the Eredivisie, it has been nothing but exceptional.

Their recent league game against Fortuna Sittard was a rampant display. Ismael Saibari was a breath of fresh air as he bagged a brace in a commanding 5-2 home victory. This comes after reaffirming their status as the top dog in a 3-2 away victory against league leaders Feyenoord. 

PSV Eindhoven: Team News

PSV Eindhoven will be missing three players because of injury. The names on the list include Alassane Plea, Ruben van Bommel, and Wessel Kuhn, who are recovering from knee injuries.

Ismael Saibari continues to shine for his team this season with his terrific performances. It was a bad day at the office last time out in Europe against Olympiacos as he came off in the 84th minute before he could make any impact.

However, expect the 24-year-old to be on top of his game this Sunday. The Eredivisie has been his playground. Heading here, he has been directly involved in six goal involvements in the last three games. Notably, he has scored five goals in his last two matches.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Kovar; Salah-Eddine, Gasiorowski, Schouten, Dest; Veerman, Mauro Junior; Perisic, Saibari, Man; Til.

⛔️ Out: Alassane Plea (knee injury), Ruben van Bommel (knee injury), and Wessel Kuhn (knee injury).

👤 Head coach: Peter Bosz.
