Ahead of the new Eredivisie season, PSV Eindhoven will host Eindhoven at the Philips Stadion on Tuesday in a friendly.
PSV enjoyed a solid campaign last season, giving the Eredivisie powerhouse and eventual champions Ajax a run for their money. They picked up 81 points from 34 games, finishing just two points behind Ajax in the league standings. However, they pipped the Amsterdam outfit to the KNVB Beker trophy, winning 2-1.
The Boeren let go of German manager Roger Schmidt at the end of the season after failing to agree terms for a contract extension. They have appointed Dutch legend Ruud Van Nistelrooy at their helm.
Trending
Eindhoven, meanwhile. also had one of their best campaigns in recent years last season, as they made it to the promotion playoffs. They finished third in the Eerste Divisie with 71 points from 38 games.
They were drawn against De Graafschap in the first playoff round, winning 4-2 on aggregate before getting knocked out by ADO Den Hag in the next round by the same aggregate score.
The Blauw-witten will undoubtedly be gutted not to have secured promotion last season. They'll now head into the upcoming campaign with confidence as they continue their hunt for top flight football.

Eindhoven, meanwhile, ended their season with back-to-back defeats and were beaten 3-1 by Belgian side Lierse Kempenzonen in their last friendly. They have a poor record in this fixture and could lose this one.
