VVV will welcome PSV Eindhoven to the Covebo Stadion - De Koel on Sunday for a matchday 29 fixture in the Eredivisie.
The hosts come into this game on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Groningen. A late strike by Mohamed El Hankouri helped the 10-man visitors pick up all three points.
PSV were 3-0 victors over Heracles on home turf. Goals from Donyell Malen, Denzel Dumfries and Mohammed Ihattaren saw them secure a convincing victory.
VVV-Venlo sit in 16th spot and currently occupy the relegation playoff spot. They will be looking to get all three points to boost their survival hopes.
PSV are effectively out of the title race but are neck-and-neck with AZ Alkmaar in the race for second place.
