PSV vs. NEC Nijmegen Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between PSV and NEC Nijmegen, taking place on Saturday, 14 September 2024, at Philips Stadion in Eindhoven.
PSV, Recent Form
In their last match PSV enforced their superiority over Go Ahead Eagles with a 3-0 home win. They came away from that fixture with 71% of the possession and clocked up 19 attempts on goal with 8 on target. By comparison, Go Ahead Eagles managed 9 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
Their boss Peter Bosz has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 22 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 5 goals conceded across those matches. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 54 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 7 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 29 games.
On an individual basis, Luuk de Jong will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Philips Stadion having scored 6 goals in PSV's last 6 home games in the league.
NEC Nijmegen, Recent Form
In their previous league fixture, NEC Nijmegen managed a remarkable 3-0 away win against Fortuna Sittard. Their share of possession in that meeting was 50%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Fortuna Sittard had 14 shots on goal with 1 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Rogier Meijer will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Kodai Sano will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in NEC Nijmegen's last 6 league games.
