PSV will entertain Fortuna at Philips Stadion in Eredivisie on Sunday.
PSV vs Fortuna Preview
With three rounds of matches left to play in the Eredivisie, Feyenoord are almost sure of winning their 16th title while PSV will likely finish second. The hosts are facing competition from Ajax and AZ for the second spot though, which offers qualification for the Champions League third qualifying round.
Boeren’s final mission will be to achieve a flawless run across the remainder of matches to seal a third successive second-placed finish. They placed second in the previous two seasons. Fortuna may not pose a formidable challenge to the PSV, especially at the Philips Stadion. The hosts are expected to prevail with minor difficulty.
Fortuna are three places away from the nearest European competition play-off spot in the standings. They sit 12th with 35 points and need to win their remaining matches, and hope other teams suffer some setbacks, to be able to qualify. The likelihood of success is very low, considering their form and the fixtures ahead.
Fortunezen defeated Vitesse at home 2-0 in their last league action to end a three-game losing streak during which they conceded nine goals without scoring. The visitors are also struggling on the road, losing four of their last five away matches. Fortuna are not favored to win in Eindhoven.
