  • In their previous Eredivisie encounter, PSV triumphed over AZ with a 2-1 victory at AFAS Stadion in October. Luuk de Jong opened the scoring for PSV in the 15th minute, followed by a goal from Noa Lang. Denso Kasius scored the only goal for AZ in the 90th minute.
  • PSV has had the upper hand against AZ recently, winning four straight encounters since May 2023. In these matches, PSV has outscored AZ with 13 goals for and only three against.
  • Ricardo Pepi has been essential for PSV this season, leading the team with 10 goals, which ranks him tied for second among the league's top scorers. Notably, three of his goals have been the crucial match openers.
