Team News

FC Groningen
PSV Eindhoven
  • Arjen Robben is set to play his first Eredivisie game for boyhood club FC Groningen since May 2002 this weekend and fittingly enough it's against the last Dutch team he played for before returning home this summer.
  • Damil Dankerlui and Wessel Dammers should make their debuts whilst Patrick Joosten and Gabriel Gudmundsson miss out.
  • Newly-appointed PSV boss Roger Schmidt goes into his Eredivisie debut with a full squad to choose from.
  • He's expected to hand German left-back Philipp Max, who joined from Augsburg, a first start in PSV's colours.

Prediction

  • PSV were off the pace last season before it was halted; the Eindhoven-based side ended the championship seven points behind leaders Ajax having played a game more.
  • As for Groningen they're on the up, the Pride of the North sat comfortably in mid-table and with Arjen Robben's acquisition will be pushing for a European spot.

  • Dumrfies to start, Ihattaren to start and Gakpo to start. Not sure about Lammers who's aiming for a transfer to Atalanta. Malen en Madueke upfront. Gakpo en Ihattaren on the wings. Rosario en Hendriks defensive midfielders. Dumfries right wing back. Both teams to score and possible upset: Home win, but most likely a draw.
