PSV Eindhoven and AC Milan will close out the year with a mouth-watering friendly matchup at the Philips Stadion on Friday.
This will be the first meeting between the sides since August 2013, when the Rossoneri claimed a 3-0 victory in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers.
PSV Eindhoven made it two friendly victories from two outings on December 17 when they saw off Sassuolo 2-1 away from home.
Prior to that, the Eredivisie outfit suffered a 1-0 league defeat against AZ Alkmaar before claiming a 4-2 win over Rakow Czestochowa in their first outing during the 2022 FIFA World Cup break.
PSV head into the weekend on a run of six wins from their last seven matches across all competitions, scoring 15 goals and conceding six in that time.
Meanwhile, AC Milan suffered a 4-1 loss against Premier League side Liverpool in a friendly matchup on December 16 before claiming a 4-3 penalty shootout win.
This followed a 2-1 loss at the hands of Arsenal on December 13 which saw their four-game unbeaten run come to an end.
AC Milan have now failed to win their last four away games across all competitions and will set out to end this dry spell ahead of their return to Serie A action.
