On Jan 20th, PSV hosts Telstar at Philips Stadion in a meeting of these two KNVB Beker teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 1 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. In their last match, PSV recorded a 1-0 shutout win against FC Groningen. Mario Götze scored the first goal for PSV in the 10th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed FC Groningen couldn’t manage to score, and PSV took the shutout win. PSV is on a hot streak lately, having won 8 of their last 10, while telstar is fresh off their 2-1 win against MVV Maastricht. Glynor Plet struck first for Telstar in the 8th minute on a feed from Ozan Can Kokcu, then Ozgur Aktas added another in the 26th minute on a feed from van Doorm. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Telstar is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Fernandes and Plet each having 2 goals in their last 5. PSV’s most prolific scorer has been Yorbe Vertessen. The attacker has netted three goals over the last five matches.
