With only two points remaining from the number one in the Eredivisie: Ajax, PSV is keen to close the gap. The club is therefore doing everything possible to take the three points this Sunday in the match against Fortuna Sittard. History shows that this is possible. The club won 22 of the last 25 Eredivisie matches against the Limburgers.
Good series
The team owes that to a series still in progress. PSV won its last seven Eredivisie games against Fortuna. If PSV also wins Sunday, the club will match the series of eight wins against the Limburgers that the team achieved in the period from 1990 to 1995.
Away games
In Sittard, PSV is also doing well. The club won its last five away games against Fortuna. The Limburgers' last win was the 6-4 victory on May 7, 1999, when Regillio Simons became the first and so far only player to score four goals against PSV in one Eredivisie match. Last season, PSV won 2-0 at home against Fortuna and 1-3 away. Noni Madueke scored once in both games.
Goals
PSV scored 27 goals this Eredivisie season, eight of which came during an away game. These away goals were scored by eight different players.
Last quarter
PSV (9), along with Feyenoord (9), is the most accurate team in the final quarter this Eredivisie season.
100th match
Joël Drommel could play his 100th Eredivisie game next Sunday. The goalkeeper kept the nil 18 times in his first 99 Eredivisie games. Drommel was called up for the Dutch national team by national coach Louis van Gaal on Friday.
