Young PSV travels to Rotterdam on Friday where it plays at Het Kasteel at 8 p.m. against leaders Sparta Rotterdam. Earlier this season, Sparta Rotterdam was 0-3 too strong for coach Pascal Jansen's team.
At full strength
Pascal Jansen can call on virtually the same names as last Friday, when Young PSV drew 2-2 against FC Volendam. Among others Menno Koch, Simon Poulsen, Jordy de Wijs, Steven Bergwijn and Suently Alberto are in the selection.
In excellent form
Young PSV is in good form, not losing a game yet in the second half of the season. Last Friday was the first draw. Before that they won against Go Ahead Eagles, MVV Maastricht, VVV-Venlo and RKC Waalwijk. Jansen's team also did good business in the Premier League International Cup. Sunderland O21 was beaten 0-1 at the Stadium of Light. Young PSV hopes to continue the good series and still has a chance to win the third period title.
Sparta Rotterdam on championship course
Tonight's opponent may be back in the Eredivisie next season. Sparta Rotterdam has been at the top of the Jupiler League for quite some time and has a nine-point lead over VVV-Venlo with one match remaining. In addition, it also already has a period title up for grabs. In short, Sparta Rotterdam is on a championship course.
