Peter Bosz has PSV playing a relentless style of football that most opponents cannot handle. Guus Til has been instrumental this season scoring 12 goals so far which averages out to 0.64 per 90 minutes. He remains their biggest threat inside the penalty area for this game.
The home side possesses a frightening array of talent in the final third. Ricardo Pepi is also enjoying a great season with 1.01 goals per 90 minutes. Still the team is currently missing an important player as Nick Olij remains out with a muscle injury which is unfortunate.
Joey Veerman will likely pull the strings in midfield despite having four yellow cards to his name this year. He currently scores 0.39 goals per 90 minutes and provides the creative spark. PSV will look to dominate possession and exploit any gaps in the visitors defense.
Heerenveen travels to Eindhoven knowing they are massive underdogs in this fixture. Jacob Trenskow has been their shining light scoring 8 goals at an average of 0.42 per 90 minutes. He will need to be clinical if they want to get anything from this tough match.

Even so the visitors have the quality to catch PSV on the break if they remain disciplined. It is vital they stay organized for the full duration. Our experts suggest checking our *Free Eredivisie Predictions* before placing any bets on this highly anticipated Saturday evening matchup.
