PSV will welcome Feyenoord to the Philips Stadion in the Johan Cuyff Shield final on Sunday. The two teams are meeting in the competition for the second season in a row and the hosts came out on top last time around.
The hosts have won the competition three times on the trot and are the most successful team in the competition with 14 titles to their name. The visitors have lifted the trophy just four times and will play in the final for the 12th time.
The hosts concluded their pre-season with two wins on the spin and registered a 2-1 triumph over Valencia last week, thanks to Ismael Saibari's first-half brace. Malik Tillman and Luuk de Jong picked up the assists for these goals.
The visitors, meanwhile, suffered defeats in their last two pre-season friendlies. They suffered a 3-1 loss to Monaco earlier this week, with Luka Ivanušec scoring the consolation goal in the first half.

PSV vs Feyenoord Prediction
Boeren suffered a loss in their first friendly of the pre-season but bounced back with two wins in their next three games. They are unbeaten at home in all competitions since November 2022 and are strong favorites. Interestingly, they have just one win in their last seven home meetings in this fixture, with four games ending in draws.
Olivier Boscagli and Mauro Junior were injured last week and are not an option for head coach Peter Bosz. Veteran striker Luuk de Jong is sick and a doubt for this clash.
De club aan de Maas have suffered just three defeats in all competitions since December, with one of them coming against the home team. Interestingly, their last two wins in the Johan Cruyff Sheild have both been recorded on penalties.
They have an almost full-strength squad for this match as Quinten Timber and Calvin Stengs are back from injuries and might start from the bench. Gernot Trauner was the only absentee in group training, so Lutsharel Geertruida will be handed the captain's armband.
Both teams have a good record in competitive games in 2024 thus far and will look to get this season underway with a win. This is expected to be a closely contested match and, considering the hosts' better recent record in this fixture, we back them to eke out a narrow win.
