PSV vs Willem II Match Preview
Top versus bottom. PSV have an easy ride in the league again after they defeated second from bottom team VVV last weekend. The league leaders suffered a great disappointment however, when they were thrown out of the Cup tournament by FC Twente on penalties on Wednesday.
Willem II only won twice in 36 previous Eredivisie visits to PSV, the last time dating back to 1983. Last weekend the tricolores won their first Eredivisie match of the current season, beating Vitesse 1-0. The last time Willem II won two league matches in a row, was in 2009. Away from home they did not manage to win in 21 consecutive matches at the moment.
This season PSV defeated Willem II 4-2 in Tilburg. Balázs Dzsudzsák, Jeremain Lens, Ibrahim Afellay and Jonathan Reis scored for the visitors. Afellay moved to FC Barcelona in the winter and Jonathan Reis is injured for the remainder of the season.
