PSV Eindhoven and Telstar go head to head for a place in the quarter-finals of the Dutch Cup at the Philips Stadion on Thursday.
PSV head into the game on a blistering run of five wins on the trot and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
PSV maintained their fine run of results as they saw off a dogged Groningen side 1-0 away from home last Sunday.
Roger Schmidt’s men have now won each of their last five games on the spin, dating back to a 3-0 defeat against Real Sociedad in the Europa League on December 9.
PSV now turn their sights to the Dutch Cup where they claimed a 2-0 win over Fortuna Sittard in their opening game back in December.
Telstar, on the other hand, found their feet in the second tier as they claimed a 2-1 win over MVV Maastricht last time out.
Prior to that, Andries Jonker’s men, who are currently 13th in the Eerste Division, were on a two-game winless run, losing one and claiming one draw.
Telstar now turn to the Dutch Cup where they have enjoyed a fine run, claiming two wins from two and scoring seven goals in that time.
PSV Eindhoven vs Telstar Head-To-Head
This will be the second meeting between the sides. Their first encounter came back in 2013, when PSV cruised to an emphatic 4-1 victory on home turf.
