Fourth-placed Alkmaar will welcome second-placed PSV to the AFAS Stadion in the final match of the ongoing Eredivisie season on Sunday.
The hosts are unbeaten in their last five league games, recording four wins in that period. They have also kept four clean sheets in these games. In their previous outing, Jesper Karlsson's brace and Jordy Clasie's 43rd-minute strike helped them record a 3-0 away win over NEC.
PSV are unbeaten in their last 16 games in all competitions and played a 3-3 draw against Heerenveen last week. Ibrahim Sangaré, Luuk de Jong, and Xavi Simons were on the scoresheet as they came back from two goals down.
The visitors need to avoid a defeat to finish second in the league table while the hosts need a win to qualify for the UEFA Europa League playoffs next season.
