A place in the final of the 2024-25 KNVB Beker will be on the line when PSV Eindhoven and Go Ahead Eagles lock horns at the Philips Stadion on Wednesday. Paul Simonis’ men will head into the midweek clash looking to snap their run of 15 consecutive defeats against the hosts and cause a major cup upset.
PSV Eindhoven turned in a performance of the highest quality last time out when they secured a 3-1 victory over Juventus in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League knockout-stage playoff clash to secure a 4-3 aggregate win over the Italian giants.
Back home, Peter Bosz’s side have enjoyed a solid league campaign, picking up 16 wins and four draws from their 23 Eredivisie matches to collect 52 points and sit second in the standings.
PSV now return to action in the KNVB Beker, where they have stormed to the semi-finals, seeing off Koninklijke, Excelsior and Feyenoord, while scoring 15 goals and keeping two clean sheets.
Meanwhile, Go Ahead Eagles kicked off their cup campaign with a nervy penalty-shootout victory over Sparta Rotterdam on December 12 before claiming consecutive 3-1 wins over Twente and Noordwijk in the round of 16 and quarter-finals respectively.
Simonis’ men head into the midweek clash off the back of a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Ajax in Eredivisie, where they currently sit seventh in the table with 35 points from 23 matches.
Go Ahead have lost two of their most recent three outings — with a 1-0 victory over Sparta sandwiched between the two defeats — having gone unbeaten in the 10 matches preceding this run.
