With eight matches to go in the Dutch Eredivisie, PSV have a real chance of dethroning arch rivals Ajax. Placed second in the standings with 61 points, PSV will be hosting 15th placed Fortuna Sittard who have so far managed 22 points. PSV are just two points behind league leaders Ajax, though in terms of goal difference Ajax are in another world. If PSV will win the Eredivisie, it will be on points and not goal difference, by now they know it and three points in this game should be their target. They havent lost in the last 13 meetings with Fortuna and this should be an extension of the dominance that has seen them bag 11 wins in that run. The hosts have not lost in the last 11 matches, winning nine and a key figure in their recent matches has been Eran Zahavi, with six goals in the last five matches.

Fortuna Sittard warmed up for this game with a 1-0 win over Willem II, ending a run of two straight losses. They have three wins in the last five but generally have been poor. In the last 17 matches ahead of this, they’ve managed just four wins but they will hope the new found solidity in defence that has seen them keep three clean sheets in the last five matches comes to play here. This season, Fortuna have already lost twice to PSV - in the league and cup - conceding a total of six goals and scoring just once. In each of their last seven matches against PSV, they’ve conceded two or more goals and this doesn’t look very promising. Away from home, things haven't worked so well for Fortuna; they go into this game having lost eight of the last 10 matches on the road and face a side that has really done well at home.
