Psv U21 will visit city rival FC Eindhoven tonight. The home game earlier this season was lost 1-2. Should PSV's talents retaliate today, they have a chance to go over Young Ajax and be the league's best-performing Young team.
Selection
Maxime Delanghe joins Young PSV from the first team. Delanghe was absent for two weeks due to an injury, but has thus recovered. Monday it was announced that Mees Kreekels will not be back in action this calendar year due to a knee injury. Furthermore, Fedde Leysen and Cheick Touré, as well as the long-term injured Richard Ledezma, will not be there. The selection will thus consist of eighteen players and three goalkeepers.
Home game
On September 18 of last year, FC Eindhoven lost at PSV Campus De Herdgang. The home team had most of the ball, but most of the chances were created by the opponent, who took all three points. The absent Ledezma was the only goal scorer for PSV.
Team in shape
Last Monday Peter Uneken's men were still in action. MVV was swept aside 3-1, putting Young PSV at the top of the fourth period (3W-1G-0V). The goal this year is to be the best Jong team in the league. With a win, it can pass Jong Ajax, which now has two more points. Jong Utrecht and Jong AZ are three and four points behind.
Kickoff is at 8 p.m. and the game can be followed on ESPN's switching channel.
