PSV wants to wash away the bitter aftertaste of this week's European defeat with a victory over sc Heerenveen. Last season's away game ended in a monster victory: 0-8, the biggest ever away win of the season. It could be a great match for Peter Bosz as well, with a win breaking several Eredivisie records.

Back then, Guus Til and Malik Tillman laid the foundation for a monster victory with both two goals within half an hour. Later Joey Veerman, Johan Bakayoko, Luuk de Jong and Patrick van Aanholt joined the goal scorers to complete the historic result. The evening could have been even more special, because if Feyenoord had lost points in Deventer, PSV would have been national champions. That didn't happen and so PSV had to wait another two weeks.

Thanks to a 2-0 victory at the Philips Stadion last season, the club took the maximum six points from encounters with sc Heerenveen for the first time since 2011-2012. In Eindhoven, Guus also scored, as did Ricardo Pepi.

Goals

PSV broke its personal goal record in the match against FC Twente. In 2024, Peter Bosz 's team has scored 111 times so far. With two games to go, there is plenty of opportunity to further tighten this number. The old record, 110 goals, dated back to 1987. To get hold of the Eredivisie record, a few more goals are needed. In 1995 Ajax scored 125 times.

Records for Bosz

Peter Bosz is on the threshold of a unique record with PSV after 49 Eredivisie matches. With 43 wins so far, he has equaled the record for most wins by a coach in his first 50 league matches at one club. That record was held by Stefán Kovács, who achieved the same number at Ajax in the 1970s. Bosz thus has one more game to go to break this record for good.

In terms of points, Bosz has already made history: with 133 points, he surpassed Kovács' old Ajax record (132 points, converted to three points per win). Moreover, under his leadership PSV already scored 167 goals in 49 games, a number equaled only by Johan Cruijff's Ajax in the 1980s.
