GVVV vs PSV Predictions

• The KNVB Beker is PSV’s last big hope this term.
• Manager Mark van Bommel was sacked on the eve of this clash for PSV.
• PSV have scored 3+ goals in each of their meetings with the Eredivisie’s bottom 5.
• The hosts have lost by 3 goals in their last 6 KNVB Beker defeats.

Can PSV’s Troubles Get Worse?

It certainly hasn’t been a strong season for PSV, but can they salvage some pride with a run in the KNVB Beker this term? The visitors have been handed a boost with a straightforward clash on Wednesday night, but they could have concerns following their mixed results on the road this term.

Hosts GVVV are currently a midtable, inconsistent force in the third tier of Dutch football. That’s left an interesting clash in prospect here, but could the hosts pull off an incredible shock to pile the pressure onto the visitors?

PSV Search for Turnaround

The visitors are down in fourth in the Eredivisie, which puts them at risk of missing out on Champions League football. They already crashed out early in this season’s edition, while they failed to make it out of their Europa League group too. With their title and European ambitions gone, the cup has taken on huge importance for PSV.

Their weekend defeat cost Mark van Bommel his job, with the club looking to start afresh from Wednesday. However, will we see the green shoots of recovery when they return to cup action against a lower league opponent?

Much Needed Response

The visitors come into this clash with shaky Eredivisie form, but the last couple of months have seen them face some difficult clashes They’ve failed to beat any of the top six, while they’re unbeaten against sides from seventh and below. The visitors have a perfect record against the bottom five sides in the league, scoring at least three goals in each.

GVVV have seen their recent campaigns in this competition come to an early end. The last two years have seen them exit with 3-0 defeats, losing to TEC and Cambuur. Each of their last six exits from this competition have come in a defeat by three goals. While PSV have their problems, they have a clean sheet in three of their last four away games in this competition.

PSV should be able to take their record against the Eredivisie’s lesser lights into a meeting with GVVV. We’re backing the visitors to win with a -2 handicap here, while we are going with a 3-0 victory for the away side on Wednesday night.
