Contents
Over 2.5 Goals
Four out of the last five times these teams played against each other there were more than two goals scored, and with PSV finally getting things in order after a shocking departure of their best player Cody Gakpo, this might be the time they finally move on and find someone who can replace his goal output.
PSV Win-To-Nil
PSV won the last two games against Vitesse without conceding a goal. PSV did allow two goals against Fortuna Sittard last week, but at home, things are put in a different perspective.

Team News, Predicted Lineups, and Preview
PSV
Since Cody Gakpo's shocking departure to Liverpool at the start of the January transfer window, PSV hasn't won a game. They drew 0-0 against Sparta at home, and then came back to equalize and finish the game 2-2 versus Fortuna Sittard. Losing four points in those two matches gave leaders Feyenoord an additional advantage of five points. PSV can't afford another mishap, and winning against Vitesse, a team they dominated over the years, seems like a foregone conclusion. The team is also waiting for Luuk de Jong to start producing, it is strange to their star striker has only three goals on the record. He will need to step up his game in a big way after Gakpo left the team. PSV coach Ruud van Nistelrooy has a lot of injury problems to deal with: Philipp Max, Savio, Fode Fofana, Mauro Junior, and Olivier Boscagli are unavailable.
Predicted lineup: Benitez, Teze, Brantwaite, Obispo, Mwene, Simons, Sangare, Gutierrez, Madueke, de Jong, El-Ghazi.
Vitesse
The visiting team is in the middle of one of the most difficult seasons in recent years. They only won three times in 16 matches, and with every passing round they fail to win, the relegation zone seems closer. Right now they lie at the 14th spot with three points advantage over the relegation battlers, but with another defeat that many expect to occur against PSV, things would get even worse for the Arnhem club. They have drawn four straight times in the league, and are waiting for their fourth win this season since October when they beat Emmen. Scoring is a serious issue for Vitesse who only got 18 this season, and they are lacking someone who will be a constant threat to the opponents' goal. When you have your best scorer at only three goals in 16 matches, then you know you have a serious problem on your hand. At least some positive news is coming from their medical staff, all team members are ready to go, so coach Phillip Cocu will have a full squad available.
Predicted lineup: Scherpen, Dijks, Meuelensteen, Flamingo, Arcus, Kozlowski, Tronstad, Wittek, Bero, Manhoef, Bialek.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
Player to Watch: Xavi Simmons
He was arguably the second most important player when Cody Gakpo was in the club, but after he left for the Premier League, Simmons has become the focal point of his team's attacking playing style. He has scored nine goals this term with four assists.
