PSV Eindhoven - FC Groningen

PSV Eindhoven aim to maintain their positive momentum as they return to Philips Stadion on 23 August 2026 for this Eredivisie matchday 3 clash against FC Groningen. After a challenging start to their campaign, PSV found their rhythm in a 2-1 victory over Excelsior last week, a result that provided a necessary boost following their earlier draw with Fortuna Sittard. The expected XI, featuring Ruben van Bommel and Ricardo Pepi in attack, will be eager to assert dominance on home soil and continue their recent trend of finding the net consistently.

FC Groningen arrive in high spirits, boasting a perfect record in the league after consecutive wins against FC Utrecht and ADO Den Haag. However, they face a significant defensive challenge with Marco Rente sidelined due to injury. Historically, this fixture has favored the hosts, with PSV securing a 2-1 win in their most recent meeting on 8 February 2026.
