Volendam

Form: LLDLW

Regillio Simons has been dancing with disappointment all season long as his team, which has just notched three wins in 20 matches, finds themselves in danger of being relegated to the second-tier league. Having made their debut in the preceding season of the Eredivisie for the first time since 2008, where they finished in 14th place, seventeen points clear of the drop zone, repeating such an achievement again will require strenuous effort.

Since the turn of the year, Volendam have failed to win any of their last four league matches (L3 D1), and this has witnessed them plunge into inconsistency. A 4-2 defeat to FC Utrecht on the road over the weekend marked their second consecutive defeat in the league, and getting back on course will prove to be a challenging endeavor as they face an adversary that has handed them defeat on sixteen occasions.

Lurking in the relegation zone, FC Volendam occupy the 17th spot in the Eredivisie standings, having accumulated 12 points in 20 matches, are level on points with rock bottom Vitesse, and are seven points adrift of safety.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 5-3-2

Backhaus; Buur, Benamar, Mirani, Guessand, Cox; Le Roux, de Haan, Twigt; Booth, Ould-Chikh

PSV Eindhoven

Form: DWDWW

Meanwhile, PSV Eindhoven have been reaping the rewards of their impressive performance this season, except for the setback of being eliminated by Feyenoord in the KNVB Beker a few weeks ago.

Apart from dropping four points in their last five matches to accumulate eleven points, the Lightbulbs still maintain an unbeaten record in the Eredivisie, going 20 matches without suffering defeat. The longest streak was achieved with 19 matches during the 2009–10 season. Despite expectations of securing maximum points in their recent match against Ajax Amsterdam, Peter Bzosch knew that it wouldn't be an easy feat given the Amsterdamers resurgence, thus settling for a point in a 1-1 draw on the road.

Due to their exceptional performance this season, PSV Eindhoven currently occupies the summit of the Eredivisie standings with 56 points garnered from 20 matches. This has granted them a ten-point lead over second-placed Feyenoord.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-5-1

Benitez; Teze, Silva, Boscagli, Dest; Schouten, Junior, Bakayoko, Saibari, Lozano; de Jong
