ADO Den Haag has faced 207 shots so far. That is the highest number of all teams. PSV, with the striker in its ranks who most often takes the enemy goal of all players in the Netherlands, will thus be looking for a goal or two. Phillip Cocu's team, on the other hand, faced the fewest shots, just 105.
20 goals
PSV is having a season of two stories so far. The first story is that the club is not scoring very much compared to other seasons. In the 13 games so far, the team scored 20 goals. Of those, only 4 were made at Philips Stadium. Of great importance here is the productivity of center striker and captain Luuk de Jong. He has the most goal attempts of any player in the Eredivisie (58), but his last goal dates from 2 months ago. PSV has scored in the last 10 games against ADO Den Haag and won all of them as well.
Strong defense
The other story is that PSV's defense stands like a house. With only six goals against, PSV's defense with Jeroen Zoet and Remko Pasveer as closers is the least passed defense in the Netherlands. By comparison, Ajax has scored almost twice as many goals. The strong defense means that PSV's games are most often still 0-0 at the halfway point. That has been the case seven times already. The last time ADO Den Haag scored in Eindhoven it was also good for victory: Wesley Verhoek scored the only goal of the match in injury time in 2011.
