PSV Faces Struggles as Offensive Woes Continue

omidbasir- PSV Eindhoven has faced unexpected challenges in the Eredivisie, notably suffering a surprising 2-1 defeat to relegation candidate FC Volendam. This loss serves as a wake-up call for the Eindhoven team, momentarily grounding them after a strong start to the season. To recover from this setback, PSV must bounce back in their upcoming match against sc Heerenveen.

A pressing concern for PSV is the offensive line, particularly after the recent injury to Guus Til, which exacerbates their striker dilemma. Coach Peter Bosz must strategize effectively to address this situation. The anticipated lineup for the match against Heerenveen raises the critical question: who will take on the goal-scoring responsibilities?

This season seems to have cast a shadow over the striker position at PSV. Initially, Ricardo Pepi was expected to lead the front line. However, the American forward struggled with form in the first half of the season and is currently recovering from an arm injury. While Pepi has resumed training, it remains uncertain whether Bosz will risk reinstating him in the starting lineup given Til’s absence.

There is a possibility that Bosz might opt to start Pepi, even if only for part of the match, allowing for a substitution with Boadu later on. If Pepi plays, it is likely that Perisic and Man will occupy the wings to support the attack.

The potential starting lineup for PSV against FC Volendam is as follows: Schiks; Dest, Schouten, Gasiorowski, Mauro Júnior; Wanner, Veerman, Saibari; Man, Pepi, Perisic.
