PSV has performed excellently against Willem II in recent years at Philips Stadium. Where the team often struggles in Tilburg, it rarely loses points at home against the Tilburgers. PSV can get their hands on an interesting record this Sunday. Never before have 21 different selection players scored in a season in the Eredivisie.
Strong at Philips Stadium
PSV won its last 18 home matches against Willem II. In addition, the club is unbeaten against the Tilburgers in its last 32 matches in Eindhoven. PSV set such a winning streak only once before: 25 consecutive home victories over FC Utrecht. For Willem II, the series of eighteen away defeats against PSV is a negative club record.
Earlier this season
Willem II won 2-1 from PSV earlier this season. On Sept. 25 of the previous calendar year, Eran Zahavi scored the goal for PSV. However, the Israeli striker also scored an own goal. Ché Nunnely scored the winning goal for the Tilburgers.
Different goal scorers
This season, 20 different players were goalscorers for PSV. This equals the Eredivisie record held by Ajax. PSV players who made minutes this season but have not yet scored include Érick Gutiérrez and Maxi Romero.
Hand in coins
Supporters who attended the cup final in De Kuip can donate their remaining coins Sunday afternoon. PSV Foundation will return these coins to Stadion Feijenoord. The money will benefit PSV Foundation projects. Everyone who was at De Kuip has been informed about this by e-mail. Of course you can also return your coins yourself.
Old acquaintance
Kevin Hofland is currently the coach of Willem II. The Limburger played 78 league games for PSV between 2000 and 2004. Hofland became national champion twice during that period. After his playing career, Hofland worked several seasons in PSV's youth division. Hofland's current squad performed something that not many clubs managed. Only five Eredivisie teams won a Roger Schmidt game.
