One of the biggest fixtures in the Dutch Eredivisie takes place on Sunday when PSV Eindhoven welcome Feyenoord to the Philips Stadion.
Both sides posted very convincing victories in their most recent fixtures. The hosts secured a 3-1 victory away to Fortuna Sittard. A first-half brace from Noni Zahavi added to a late strike by Noni Madueke, earning Roger Schmidt's side all three points.
Feyenoord ran amok in a 6-0 whitewash of VVV Venlo. Steven Berghuis, Bryan Linseen, Lutsharel Geertruida, Jens Tornstra and Eric Botteghin were all among the goals on home turf.
The results did not have any impact on their respective league standings. PSV remained in second spot, six points behind table-toppers and defending champions Ajax. PSV have played one game more than Ajax.
Feyenoord are further below in fifth spot, having garnered 46 points from 25 games.
PSV vs Feyenoord Head-to-Head
This will be the 52nd meeting between the sides in the last two decades. PSV have a slightly better record with 21 wins, 78 goals scored and 63 conceded.
Feyenoord were victorious on 18 occasions, while 12 games ended in stalemates.
Their most recent fixture came on 31 January 2021 when a first-half blitz saw Feyenoord race into a three-goal lead at halftime. That match ended in a 3-1 victory on home soil.
The hosts have been in better form, having not lost any of their last five league games since that 3-1 reversal in Rotterdam.
Feyenoord, on the other hand, have struggled in recent weeks. The drubbling of Venlo represented their sole victory in their last five games across all competitions.
