PSV Eindhoven will host NEC Nijmegen the Philips Stadion on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 Eredivisie campaign. The home side have enjoyed a brilliant start to their season and now sit atop the league table with 12 points from an obtainable 12 as they begin their push for back-to-back Eredivisie titles.
They beat Go Ahead Eagles 3-0 in their last match, with Gus Til and Hirving Lozano handing the defending champions a two-goal lead heading into the break before Joey Veerman wrapped up the points in the second half.
Meanwhile, NEC Nijmegen endured a difficult start to their season but they appear to have turned a corner in recent games. They picked up a clinical 3-0 victory over Fortuna Sittard last time out, featuring goals from three different players including 19-year-old Sami Ouaissa, who came off the bench to score his first-ever Eredivisie goal.
The visitors sit sixth in the league standings with six points from four games and will be looking to build on their new-found form when they play this Saturday.
