With three games to go, the end of the season is fast approaching. On Thursday, Mark van Bommel and his team will visit Willem II in Tilburg. Do you want to be completely up-to-date? Then read the facts below.
Victories against upcoming opponents
PSV still has three more matches to finish in the Eredivisie, first the meeting with Willem II on the schedule, followed by matches against AZ and Heracles Almelo. Against all these clubs, PSV won the first encounter earlier this season.
Scoring every match
Against ADO Den Haag last Sunday, PSV scored three goals. With that, PSV has scored every game in the Eredivisie. No other team in the league got this done.
Keeping a clean sheet
In 15 premier league games this season, PSV kept the zero. It happened only once in the previous eight seasons that PSV kept the zero more often. That happened in 2016-2017. Back then, it happened 16 times that PSV did not get a goal against.
Standard Situations
This season PSV is the leader in terms of goals from standard situations. Already 25 times Van Bommel's team scored a goal in this way. The last four seasons the number of goals from standard situations was between 26 and 30.
Five times in a row
Top Eredivisie scorer Luuk de Jong scored in last five games. It has been a long time since a player set a longer series. In 2004, it was Mateja Kezman who scored the goal seven games in a row. Luuk de Jong now stands at 27 goals. Never before has he scored so many goals in one season.
Good run
Despite the surprising defeat last season, PSV has positive numbers against Willem II. In the last 25 meetings with the Tricolores, they won 22 times, drew twice and Willem II won once. In total, PSV won 62 of the 85 previous matches against the club from Tilburg.
Last win in 2014
PSV last won in Tilburg in 2014. Back then it was 1-3 thanks to goals by Jürgen Locadia and Memphis (2x). This was followed by two draws and a defeat.
