Almere City and PSV Eindhoven will battle for three points in an Eredivisie matchday six fixture on Saturday.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a goalless draw away to Excelsior last weekend.
PSV, meanwhile, suffered a harrowing 4-0 defeat away to Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League. Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard were all among the goals as the Gunners marked their return to the elite stage with a comprehensive victory.
The Lightbulbs will turn their focus back to the league where their last game saw them thrash Nijmegen 4-0 on home turf.

Almere vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction
Almere City created history by gaining promotion to the Eredivisie through the playoffs last season. It is a spectacular rise for a club founded just over two decades ago. However, they have had a baptism of fire in the top flight, suffering four successive losses before registering their first point last week.
Chances of them building on this appear slim, as a rampaging PSV lie in their wake. The league leaders will be smarting from the thrashing they received on the continent and will want to respond with an emphatic victory.
We are backing Peter Bosz's side to claim a comfortable win in addition to a clean sheet.
