PSV’s Title Chase: Anticipation Builds for the Upcoming Match Against FC Volendam

omidbasir- The question is no longer if PSV will become champions, but rather when they will achieve this feat. The Eredivisie leaders hold a remarkable 17-point lead over their closest rival, Feyenoord, positioning them to potentially claim the earliest title ever, which could occur as soon as April 4. In fact, there is even the possibility of securing the title by the end of March. Thus, it is imperative for coach Peter Bosz to keep his squad focused as they aim for a third consecutive championship.

In preparation for their match against FC Volendam, Bosz is likely to implement some changes to the lineup. Last Sunday, it seemed that PSV’s record of away victories might be halted in Groningen, where the northern pride led 1-0 at halftime. However, PSV managed to turn the game around in the second half, ultimately winning 2-1. This victory sets the stage for potentially enhancing their record further in Volendam.

Anticipated Changes

Compared to the clash with Groningen, Bosz is expected to make several adjustments. Notably, goalkeeper Niek Schiks will return to the starting position, as Matej Kovar will be sidelined for several more weeks, and Nick Olij is not available at this time. In front of Schiks, Bosz is likely to make a tactical substitution. Armando Obispo had been preferred over Yarek Gasiorowski in recent weeks, but struggled during the match against Groningen. Consequently, Obispo may return to the bench for the upcoming game. The status of Schouten’s position in the central defense remains uncertain.

Projected Lineup for PSV Against FC Volendam

The expected lineup for PSV against FC Volendam is as follows:

Schiks; Dest, Schouten, Gasiorowski, Mauro Júnior; Wanner, Veerman, Fernandez; Man, Til, Perisic.
