After the victory over Go Ahead Eagles last Wednesday, PSV is keen to win the away game against Willem II as well. The club has shown before in history that this was possible. Indeed, PSV won 28 of its last 30 Eredivisie matches against the Tilburgers.
66 wins
The team has won a total of 66 times in the Eredivisie against Willem II. This puts the Tilburgers in second place of most defeated clubs by PSV. Only FC Utrecht has lost more often to PSV (68).
Own goal
PSV won last season's away game against Willem II 0-2. Donyell Malen scored the first goal in the 27th minute. The second fell through an own goal by Derrick Köhn in the 51st minute.
Good series of away games
PSV did not lose a single point on away this Eredivisie season. The club won all three matches. The last time the team won its first four away matches in an Eredivisie season was in 2018-2019 under Mark van Bommel. PSV even won its first six away matches then, until Feyenoord proved too strong 2-1 at De Kuip.
Start of Eredivisie matches
PSV won five of the six Eredivisie matches. The last time PSV lost more than one game in the first seven rounds of play in an Eredivisie season was in 2014-2015 under Phillip Cocu. That year, PSV did become national champions. Willem II has won four of six duels this season. They drew once and also lost once.
Goals
Captain Marco van Ginkel has scored a total of 49 Eredivisie goals. Five of those were against Willem II. Last Wednesday, he scored the winning goal against Go Ahead Eagles in the 86th minute. Since the start of last season, PSV scored 20 Eredivisie goals from the 80th minute. That's at least five more than any other team in that period.
