Facing what is a must-win showdown on Thursday night, PSV will travel to the De Grolsch Veste when they meet Twente.
Starting with the hosts, while Twente might have marked their return from Holland’s festive break in the midst of a real purple patch, the Tukkers have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion. Despite snatching a 1-1 stalemate away at Zwolle last time out, Joseph Oosting’s side are without a win from any of their previous four Eredivisie appearances. Watching their fading Champions League dreams take a critical blow, the former Vitesse coach has also seen his inconsistent squad muster just a pair of wins from their last eight matchups across all competitions. Watching their Europa League adventure come to a heartbreaking end back in February as they eventually fell to a 6-4 aggregate defeat against Danish outfit Bodo/Glimt, Twente will certainly be excited to make a return to home soil here. Despite heading into March’s international break with a 6-2 drumming against Feyenoord, that is the only defeat that Thursday’s hosts have suffered at the De Grolsch Veste since the end of November.
As for the visitors, getting the midweek fixtures underway sat nine points adrift of runaway leaders and arch-rivals Ajax, PSV face what is a must-win showdown here. Nevertheless, putting in a dominant display last time out as they cruised their way to a 5-0 romp against Almere City, the Lightbulbs have won four of their previous five Eredivisie appearances. Despite watching their Champions League adventure come to a thumping end last month as they fell to a 9-3 aggregate defeat against English giants Arsenal, Peter Bosz’s side are enjoying an eye-catching domestic flurry. Landing a sensational 6-1 win when they welcomed Twente to the Philips Stadion for their reverse Eredivise meeting on December 6th, PSV hold a dominant record against Thursday’s hosts. In fact, the former Borussia Dortmund boss has seen his squad win all of their previous five consecutive meetings against Twente by an aggregate score of 16-3. Likewise, they have suffered just a sole defeat at the De Grolsch Veste since way back in 2013.
