Last season's ADO Den Haag - PSV had a spectacular ending. Deep into injury time, ADO goalkeeper Martin Hansen went forward in a final attempt to do something about the 2-1 deficit. Hansen scored with the heel and PSV wants to rectify that on Saturday.
Lucky
Leading up to this season's edition, followers' thoughts will undoubtedly return to that one moment, now more than a year ago. A repeat of that scenario is out of the question: goalkeeper Hansen now kicks for German FC Ingolstadt 04. In addition, previous encounters between ADO and PSV speak in PSV's favor.
PSV scores most often
Thus, PSV is the team that, of all the teams in the Eredivisie, scored the most often against ADO (206 times). In addition, ADO, away and at home, won only one of PSV's last 27 Eredivisie games. That was on Feb. 5, 2011, when Wesley Verhoek scored the 0-1 in injury time at Philips Stadium.
Co Adriaanse against Bobby Robson
The Hague's last home victory dates back to April 1, 1991. Co Adriaanse's FC Den Haag then won 3-0 against Bobby Robson's PSV at Zuiderpark, through goals by Michel Adam (14') and Leo Schellevis (61', 87').
Home win
Earlier this season, PSV won 3-1. Gastón Pereiro took a penalty, Tom Beugelsdijk scored an own goal and Luuk de Jong cleverly tipped the ball over ADO goalkeeper Setkus with his left. Beugelsdijk returned the favour soon after via a penalty kick.
