PSV: At home and in the world of difference
Although the league after Monday night enters the winter break, PSV is not quite ready. Friday So there is still a match in England against youth Sunderland on the program in the context of the Premier League International Cup. Seen sporting PSV is working on a volatile period. Outdoors, the results are very bad with only one point in five away games since October. The team of Pascal Jansen therefore mainly relies on the home games, because at FC Oss (2-4) after another eight home games were won, which is good for more than three-quarters of the points.
Last week there was a painful defeat at Ajax. Amsterdam played the home team with a relatively inexperienced team, while PSV on Ramon Pascal Lundqvist did play hard names. Even Jorrit Hendrix might make minutes after being recovered from injury. However, Ajax were the parent team and won deserved. It remains to be seen whether the Eindhoven Monday reinforcement gets out first. Presumably it just the couch potatoes of the first, namely Florian Jozefzoon, Jordy de Wise, Simon Poulsen, Hidde Jurjus and Lundqvist.
Probable lineup PSV
Jurjus; Abels, Van Bruggen, The Wise, Poulsen; Rigo Lundqvist, Rosario; Da Silva, Lammers, Jozefzoon
MVV Maastricht: IJzersterk calendar
The first half of the season in the Jupiler League had many surprises with title favorites that missed their start and promise teams who went suddenly rotate at the top, but the biggest surprise has to be the performance of MVV. The Maastricht people were for years nothing more than an average performer with only outliers, but played a strong first half of the season. A few weeks ago MVV even stood at the top. The basis for this success was actually last season were laid when MVV knocked over the tactics after a disappointing first half of the season. The success is immediately paid out. MVV made the playoffs and went in August on the same foot, despite their star player Jordy Croux were losing to Willem II.
MVV rallied last week against De Graafschap on a bad game at RKC Waalwijk, where the team of Ron Elsen went down 0-2. MVV was De Graafschap footballing boss and came after half an hour the lead as Thomas Verheydt converted a penalty. In the second half there were chances for both teams. When De Graafschap in the final came down to ten men, MVV threw over Arsenal mercenary Kelechi Nwakali the match in the final. The MVV is important to keep the connection with VVV-Venlo and Ajax. So there has to be won at PSV. Elsen can not have the suspended Ricardo nipple and Stefan O’Connor. Nipple is likely to be replaced by Florian Loshaj or one of the brothers Martina.
