An away game at the Adelaarshorst is usually known as a tough duel. Despite this, PSV have not lost in Deventer for 41 years. The team of head coach Peter Bosz must continue that line to revenge for last Wednesday's lost cup game.
PSV was unable to overcome the two quick goals against (25' & 27') on Wednesday night. Ivan Perišić scored another penalty kick, but could not prevent PSV's cup adventure from ending in the semifinals. Gerrit Nauber was responsible for the second goal. He was suspended Saturday night because of the two yellow cards he received in the league game against Ajax. Had he received a direct red card, he would not have been allowed to play Wednesday night. However, because it was an indirect red card, his suspension only applies to the premier league.
PSV has visited Go Ahead Eagles 34 times in total, with the Eindhoven players winning twenty times. Six duels ended in a draw, while Go Ahead Eagles took victory eight times. The previous game in the Adelaarshorst ended in a 1-0 win for PSV, thanks to a wonderful goal by Sergiño Dest. The winger started the attack himself, pulled inside and placed the ball beautifully into the cross.
Unbeaten run
