After the great 2-2 draw against Ajax, the PSV/FC Eindhoven women will face PEC Zwolle on Tuesday. The kick-off is at 7:30 p.m. in the IJsseldelta Stadion.
Still unbeaten
Nebojsa Vuckovic's team has not lost six games in a row since the draw against Ajax. Five times they won and once they shared the points. As a result, PSV/FC Eindhoven is firmly in fifth place in the BeNe League. The women are five points behind number four ADO Den Haag, which has played one more game and is the only club not in action tonight. A great opportunity to narrow the gap on ADO.
Kika van Es back in the selection
Earlier this season, the PSV Women played at home against PEC Zwolle. The current number twelve of the league table was then beaten 3-1 by one goal from Maran van Erp and two from Ibtissam Bouharat. It is still uncertain whether she will be there Tuesday night, because against Ajax the striker was pulled out early due to injury. Kika van Es may be able to return to the starting line-up. She was sidelined for months due to a broken leg, but coach Vuckovic has reinstated her in the squad. For the time being, only Michelle Hendriks is not there. She is still recovering from an injury.
Only a win counts
Head coach Nebojsa Vuckovic will not settle for a draw against PEC. He wants to see a win from the ladies. "There is no room for underestimation given the positions in the league table, nothing but the win counts today," said Vuckovic, who wants to continue the good series. "It shows that we are on the right track this season, it is up to the team to keep this focus and commitment."
