In the last match of the season, Young PSV will visit Almere City. Peter Uneken's team can climb one place and finish thirteenth with a victory. For Almere City it is different, they play for direct promotion to the Eredivisie.
Selection
Young PSV played with a composite selection in recent weeks due to Corona's elimination of many players. Mathias Kjølø, Kristófer Kristinsson and Jenson Seelt return from that and travel to Almere City tonight. The same goes for Fredrik Oppegård, who dropped out at the last minute last week. Fodé Fofana, Cheick Touré, Damian Timan, Fedde Leysen, Luis Felipe, Mees Kreekels and Richard Ledezma will miss the final game of the season.From Under 18, Mylian Jimenez, Mohamed Nassoh and goalkeeper Kjell Peersman will join.
Best Young team
Almere City must win tonight and hope that De Graafschap loses and Go Ahead does not win, only then it can get direct promotion. Young PSV is on pole for the best final ranking of all Jong teams this season, but is still within reach of Jong AZ and Jong Ajax. The previous match against Almere City went disappointingly. In the4th minute, Fodé Fofana opened the score. That lead was held until the 72nd minute, eventually leaving Young PSV empty-handed when Almere scored the winning goal in extra time.
Farewell
A number of players and staff members will be saying goodbye after tonight. Goalkeepers Mark Spenkelink and Kyan van Dorp have expiring contracts and rented Kristofer Kristinsson will return to French side Grenoble Foot 38. Peter Uneken is also on the bench for the last time tonight. He was in charge of the pledge since 2019 and had been with PSV since 2014.
