PSV Prepares for Key Clash Against Feyenoord Amidst Recent Challenges

Following a disappointing Champions League encounter against Bayern Munich, PSV Eindhoven is gearing up for another significant match this Sunday. They will host Feyenoord, currently second in the Eredivisie standings, in Eindhoven. Coach Peter Bosz’s team has the opportunity to make a decisive impact on the title race, although questions remain about whether the competition is already largely settled. Bosz appears to have more options at his disposal as he prepares for this important fixture.

The clash against Bayern Munich was a challenging one for PSV. In a fiercely contested match, they fell short in the closing moments, leading to a 1-2 defeat as top scorer Harry Kane dashed their Champions League dreams. Nevertheless, the performance exhibited by Bosz’s squad was commendable and should instill confidence as they face Feyenoord.

There are uncertainties surrounding the positions of PSV’s wingers ahead of the match. It is likely that both will retain their spots in the starting lineup this Sunday, especially since Bosz currently lacks suitable alternatives for the forward positions. Ivan Perisic, who was substituted late in the match against Bayern, was likely taken off as a precaution. He remains a target for Internazionale, but PSV is not eager to see him leave. Expectations are that Perisic will play against Feyenoord. Meanwhile, the participation of Dennis Man on the right flank remains uncertain. The Romanian winger was substituted during the Bayern match and is experiencing a dip in form. Talented Noah Fernandez came on in the second half and could be considered as an option, although Bosz might also opt for Esmir Bajraktarevic.

Another interesting decision for Bosz will be regarding the midfield. Anass Salah-Eddine was not fit for a starting role against Bayern, but he is likely to start as left-back against Feyenoord. This would allow Mauro Júnior to return to the midfield, resulting in Paul Wanner being sidelined. Wanner did not perform at his best against his former team. Joey Veerman and Saibari will likely accompany Júnior in midfield.

The projected lineup for PSV against Feyenoord is as follows:
Kovar; Dest, Schouten, Gasiorowski, Salah-Eddine; Mauro Júnior; Veerman, Saibari; Man, Til, Perisic.
