For Young PSV, a tough match is scheduled for Monday night. Leader N.E.C. is the opponent in Nijmegen at 8 p.m.
Shaky start to 2015
2015 is not yet the year of Young PSV for the time being. Out of four matches, Darije Kalezic's team managed to win only one. That was at home against Jong FC Twente (4-1). The away games at Achilles '29 and FC Eindhoven were both lost and last Friday they suffered the first defeat of 2015 at De Herdgang against FC Emmen. As a result, Young PSV can now be found in thirteenth place in the Jupiler League.
Back to the Eredivisie
N.E.C. relegated from the Eredivisie last season, but is well on its way to returning to the highest level within one year. It is now twelve points ahead of both FC Eindhoven and Roda JC. The Nijmegen side took nine points from the last three games and lost only to FC Eindhoven after the winter break. With Sjoerd Ars, Ruud Brood's team has a real top scorer in the selection. He has already scored sixteen goals so far.
Rare defeat N.E.C.
Young PSV and N.E.C. also played each other at the end of August. At the Philips Stadium it was 1-0 for PSV, which became the first club to beat N.E.C. in the Jupiler League. Aleksandar Boljevic scored the only goal of the game in injury time. The other defeat N.E.C. suffered this season was against FC Eindhoven (3-0). At home N.E.C. is still unbeaten, all matches in De Goffert were won.
