Last weekend's point losses to Feyenoord and Ajax gave PSV another glimmer of hope for the title. Once again, PSV can put the pressure on their rivals on Saturday night, who play a day later. To do so, the number 15 of the Eredivisie, Go Ahead Eagles, must be dealt with.
Unbeaten since 1983
PSV has had good experiences with the Adelaarshorst, having not lost there since 1983. Go Ahead Eagles did not win any of its last nine home matches against PSV in the Eredivisie. Eight times PSV won, once it finished tied. Apart from that one tie in 1995, PSV won nineteen of the twenty home and away matches against the Deventeners. Only against VVV-Venlo (27) and Willem II (21) runs a longer series without defeat.
Earlier this season, substitute Siem de Jong decided the meeting with Go Ahead (1-0)
44 goals in 15 duels
In the last 15 premier league encounters with PSV, Go Ahead scored only five goals. That while PSV scored 44 times in those matches. 1 of the 44 goals fell earlier this season, when the Eagles visited Philips Stadium and Siem de Jong put the 1-0 final score on the scoreboard in the 66th minute.
Finished before halftime
The last time PSV played away from Go Ahead Eagles was two years ago. The game was played before halftime then, thanks to an own goal by Jop van der Linden and goals by Memphis Depay and Andrés Guardado.
