PSV Eindhoven will face Club Brugge at the PSV Campus De Herdgang on Saturday in a pre-season friendly between the two teams. The home side enjoyed a brilliant campaign last season, lifting the Eredivisie title for the first time since the 2017-18 campaign and the 25th time in club history.
They kicked off their pre-season campaign against Anderlecht last weekend, suffering a 3-0 defeat. They had a handful of chances to get on the scoresheet themselves but failed to convert and will hope they can find better luck this time around.
Similarly, Club Brugge secured the Belgian League title last season, with the appointment of caretaker manager Nicky Hayen in March working wonders for the club as they went on to secure their 19th Jupiler Pro League trophy.
The Blauw-Wart have now begun preparations to retain the title next season, playing out a 1-1 draw against Royal Knokke in their pre-season opener before thrashing Greek side AEK Athens 4-1 in their last match.
Following the weekend clash, PSV will lock horns with Eindhoven in yet another friendly while Club Brugge will return to Belgium, where they will face Dender and Norwich City before the commencement of the new campaign later in the month.
