FC Twente coach Gertjan Verbeek has not managed to win a home game since his appointment in October 2017. The Tukkers are fighting against relegation and thus desperately need the points. FC Twente finds itself in 15th place with 16 points from 19 games.
PSV tough opponent
Phillip Cocu is unbeaten against FC Twente (W6-G3-V0) since his appointment in 2013. The last time FC Twente won against PSV was on May 12, 2013. FC Twente won 3-1 from PSV with then coach Dick Advocaat. Mark van Bommel was sent off the field with a red card in his last professional match that day.
Earlier this season, PSV won 4-3 over FC Twente
Man in Form
Oussama Assaidi has been involved in each of FC Twente's last four Eredivisie goals (two goals and two assists). So far this season Assaidi has scored six goals for FC Twente, making him the club's top scorer.
Maher
Adam Maher transferred from PSV to FC Twente two weeks ago. The midfielder played in the Eredivisie under two coaches: 67 games under Verbeek and 72 under Phillip Cocu. Under both coaches he scored 12 times. The last game Maher played under Verbeek against PSV was the cup final in 2013, in which Maher scored the opening goal in the 2-1 win with AZ.
