PSV Eindhoven are set to play host to Vitesse at the Philips Stadion on Sunday for their latest Eredivisie fixture.
PSV Eindhoven come into this game on the back of a 4-2 loss to Pedro Martins' Olympiacos yesterday in the first leg of the Round of 32 of the UEFA Europa League. Goals from Greek midfielder Andreas Bouchalakis, France international Yann M'Vila, Moroccan forward Youssef El-Arabi and winger Giorgos Masouras secured the win for Olympiacos.
A first-half brace from Israeli forward Eran Zahavi proved to be a mere consolation for Roger Schmidt's PSV Eindhoven.
Vitesse, on the other hand, lost 2-0 to Twente last Sunday in the Eredivisie. Goals from winger Queensy Menig and young midfielder Thijs van Leeuwen ensured victory for Ron Jans' Twente.

PSV Eindhoven are currently 2nd in the Eredivisie league table, six points behind Ajax, who have a game in hand. Manager Roger Schmidt has some exciting talent to work with, including Donyell Malen, Cody Gakpo, Noni Madueke and Mohamed Ihattaren, but inconsistency remains an issue.

While Vitesse have done well this season, PSV Eindhoven will be keen to get back to winning ways. They should be able to triumph in this game.
