Go Ahead Eagles play PSV Eindhoven at De Adelaarshorst on Saturday in the 24th round of games in the Eredivisie. The seventh-placed Eagles will look to get a win over the league leaders for the second time in four days.
GA Eagles go into the weekend in high spirits after a shock 2-1 win over PSV on Wednesday to qualify for their first KNVB Beker final in six decades. The hosts went on a 10-game unbeaten streak from December to the February before suffering two defeats in their last three league games, most recently a 2-0 loss at Ajax.
Meanwhile, PSV's 2-2 draw with Utrecht in their last league game marked their third consecutive Eredivisie draw and saw them fall further behind Ajax in the title race. The visitors have two wins in their last eight league outings.

Despite their recent triumph, Go Ahead are the underdogs and have a mountain to climb to get all three points. GA will receive a huge confidence boost from their strong home record, though, having lost two league games all season.
PSV, meanwhile, will be keen to get revenge but will need to be at their best offensively to get the job done.
