Meanwhile, after a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their Champions League qualifiers, PSV claimed a thrilling 3-2 extra-time win over AS Monaco in the return leg to reach the third qualifying round.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s men head into Tuesday’s game off a comfortable 5-2 win over Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredivisie on Saturday. PSV are unbeaten in seven games across competitions, claiming six wins and a draw since a 2-1 loss in a friendly against Villarreal in July.
