After three wins in the first three duels, PSV awaits the tricky away match against sc Heerenveen on Sunday. At the Abe Lenstra Stadion, head coach Phillip Cocu has never won as PSV's coach to date.
December last league win
PSV's last league win in Friesland dates back to Dec. 18, 2011. It was 1-5 that day through goals by Ola Toivonen (2), Georginio Wijnaldum (2) and Tim Matavz. The last time PSV kept the zero was over a decade ago: in 2006. Phillip Cocu was on the pitch with PSV as a player at the time.
So Heerenveen away is traditionally a tough match for PSV. Heerenveen remained unbeaten in its last five home matches in the Eredivisie against PSV. The club won three times and drew the last two. Yet after Ajax, no team has won as often in Friesland as PSV. Ajax won thirteen times visiting the Abe Lenstra Stadium, PSV eleven times.
Series
To add a 12th win, Phillip Cocu's team would look at dead game situations with more than average interest. Three of PSV's nine premier league goals this season came from a corner, more than any other team this season. Another statistic is at least as impressive. Of the last 31 away games in the Eredivisie, PSV only lost to Feyenoord on Feb. 26. 22 times they won.
