On the 15th of December, PSV plays host to Fortuna Sittard in a KNVB Beker match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 6 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. In their last match, PSV recorded a 0-3 loss against Real Sociedad. Mikel Oyarzabal scored the first goal for Real Sociedad in the 43rd minute on a penalty kick, then Mikel Oyarzabal added another in the 62nd minute on a feed from Zubeldía In the end, PSV couldn’t muster any offence and Real Sociedad ran away with the shutout win. PSV should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Fortuna Sittard recorded a 1-0 shutout win against PEC Zwolle. Nigel Lonwijk struck first for Fortuna Sittard in the 63rd minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, PEC Zwolle was frustrated by Fortuna Sittard’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Fortuna Sittard ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 7 of their last 10.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season PSV won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Zian Flemming has been the most prolific scorer on Fortuna Sittard in the last 5 matches with 2 goals. Both Bruma and Carlos Vinícius have been the hottest scorers for PSV in the last 5 each having scored 2 goals each.
