PSV has something to put right in the first topper of this season against Feyenoord. Phillip Cocu's team needs to win after the defeat against sc Heerenveen to get level with Feyenoord.
Warned
The last time PSV lost twice in a row in the Eredivisie was in 2014. Remarkably, Cocu's team first went down at Heerenveen and then at home against Feyenoord. That was also the last time PSV failed to score in two consecutive games. This year the schedule is exactly the same. PSV has been warned.
Awe of Philips Stadium
PSV is on a fine run at home. At the Philips Stadium, the team has been unbeaten for 16 games in a row. The last defeat dates from almost a year ago. On September 18, 2016, PSV lost to Feyenoord of all places 1-0. Nevertheless, the balance is still positive. 32 times the topper was won and twenty times the points went with it to Rotterdam.
After the historic victory in 2010, PSV has often struggled against Feyenoord. In the last five premier league seasons, Feyenoord managed to win six times from PSV. That's more than any other club. But PSV need not despair. Nowhere did Feyenoord lose as often as at Philips Stadium. The Rotterdammers went down 23 times here.
