Willem II welcome PSV to the Koning Willem II Stadion on Sunday in search of their next three points in the Eredivisie.
This matchday 32 fixture will pit two sides who need all three points for very different reasons.
The hosts currently sit one point above the dropzone and need a win to boost their survival hopes. PSV Eindhoven are just one point above AZ Alkmaar in the race for UEFA Champions League qualification and cannot afford any slip-up in a race that looks set to go down to the wire.
Willem II suffered a harrowing 3-2 defeat away to FC Utrecht. Sander van de Streek scored at both ends of the field in the five-goal thriller.
PSV were held to a shock 2-2 draw with SC Heerenveen on home soil. Tibor Halilovic and Siem de Jong scored in both halves to help the visitors pick up an unlikely point.
Willem II vs PSV Head-to-Head
This will be the 42nd meeting between the sides and PSV expectedly have the much better record.
The Lightbulbs have 30 wins and seven draws to their name, while Willem II have just four wins.
Their most recent meeting came in November 2020 when goals from Philip Max, Donyell Malen and Mario Gotze helped PSV to a 3-0 home victory.
The visitors are currently on a four-game unbeaten run, while Willem II have one win from their last five league games.
