Lampen will play for the first time at home in the preseason and will look to leave a good account of themselves here. They have played three friendlies thus far. After wins against Union Saint-Gilloise and Elversberg earlier this month, they were held to a 4-4 draw by Stuttgart last week. Guus Til, Alassane Pléa, Mauro Júnior, and Tai Abed were on the scoresheet in that match.

The visitors have a win and a loss in two friendlies thus far. They defeated Ponferradina 1-0 last week and suffered a 1-0 loss to Deportivo Alavés earlier this week.

PSV vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction

Rood-witten have scored eight goals in three friendlies thus far and will look to continue their prolific run here. They had won their last three home games in the 2024-25 campaign, scoring 13 goals, and are strong favorites.

Peter Bosz is likely to field a similar starting XI from their draw against Stuttgart here. Alassane Pléa had a great debut for the team and is expected to start after coming off the bench in the second half last week.

Zuri-Gorriak failed to score in their previous friendly against Alaves and will look to bounce back here. Notably, they had lost their four friendlies that were played away from home in 2024, failing to score in two.

Lampen have enjoyed a good run of form in the preseason thus far, and considering their home advantage, we back them to eke out a narrow win.
