Peter Bosz:
"If someone asks me: are you ready for next week (when the Eredivisie starts)? Then I say: no, we are not done yet. But that is almost impossible. Go Ahead played today with nine guys who were there last year, we just need a little longer."

 

Compared to the last meeting between PSV and Go Ahead (March 1, 2025), a lot has changed, especially with the Eindhoven team, watch the changes below.

 

Saturday, 21:00 cest!

Whether Bosz can field his strongest eleven, he didn't know on Friday afternoon. 'I think we are in good shape in terms of fitness. I know largely who I have available, but not completely. That's always the point when you still have a training session to go, we have to wait for that.
I don't know if Ruben van Bommel and Ricardo Pepi can start. I still have to ask that. Esmir Bajraktarevic has fortunately trained again and yesterday after the training he said that it had gone well, but I still want to see how they come in a day later. If that goes well again today, it can work. I've figured out how we're going to play against Sparta.'

 

Saturday, 21.00 hrs: PSV - SPARTA ROTTERDAM
