PSV Eindhoven host Fortuna Sittard on Sunday at the Philips Stadium in an Eredivisie.
The home team is fresh out of qualifying for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa Conference League. A 4-0-pound win over Copenhagen from home on Thursday helped them secure an 8-4 aggregate victory over the Danes in one of the most exciting connections on the continent.
Earlier, they claimed maximum points with a narrow 1-0 away win against Utrecht. Erin Zahavi’s goal in the 53rd minute was the difference between the two sides.
The victory helped them keep pace with the title race. They are currently in second place with 61 points, two points behind the leader of the Ajax league.

Sittard claims a morale-boosting 1-0 home win over William II in a six-point relegation last weekend. Zlan Flemming struck a 30 meter free kick home 53 minutes into the match.
The victory helped them climb out of the relegation zone at the expense of the visitors. They are in 15th place and are on points with Willem, the 16th.
PSV vs Fortuna Sittard contrast to head
Both sides have beaten each other 47 times and PSV did not surprisingly have a better record with 36 wins to their name. Sunday’s visitors have won in five games, while six matches in the past have ended in a state of despair.
Their most recent meeting came in December 2021. Ritsu Doan scored a goal to help PSV secure a 2-0 home victory and reach the last 16 of the KNVB Cup.

With Ajax eliminated from the continent, the capital will turn its entire focus to league action. In light of this, PSV need to maintain their momentum if they hope to dethrone their competitors.
The Eindhoven outfits are overwhelming favorites in the game, though Sittard’s quest for survival could give them an extra boost. The visitors are also in good shape but we support the home team to ensure a comfortable victory.
