Ahead of the Eredivisie top fixture between PSV and Feyenoord in Eindhoven on Sunday, football analyst Valentijn Driessen has predicted a certain win for the Rotterdam visitors. Feyenoord currently sits atop the league table holding a four-point advantage over the reigning champions.
Willem van Hanegem Sees a Golden Opportunity for Feyenoord
Writing in his column for the Algemeen Dagblad, former player Willem van Hanegem pointed out a golden chance for Feyenoord to extend their lead at the summit. Van Hanegem noted that PSV is currently dealing with a significant problem following the departures of Joey Veerman and Ismail Saibari, which the club has failed to replace adequately.
Addressing PSV’s injury crisis, Van Hanegem rejected the notion that physical setbacks serve as a valid excuse for Peter Bosz’s squad. He argued that the Eindhoven club spent heavily to assemble a large squad, drawing a parallel to Ajax’s historical complaints about lacking a true defensive midfielder.
Valentijn Driessen Predicts Defeat for Peter Bosz
Speaking on the television program Vandaag Inside, Valentijn Driessen offered a blunt assessment when asked by host Wilfred Genee for a scoreline prediction. Driessen stated that PSV will lose the encounter, pointing directly to the team’s ongoing personnel shortages.
Driessen highlighted that PSV is missing three central strikers alongside midfielder Richard Mijnans, who is suspended after receiving a double-yellow card against ADO Den Haag. It’s not working,
Driessen remarked on the program. PSV misses him, that’s a 2. Feyenoord wins that.
Fitness Questions Surrounding Ruben van Bommel
The panel on Vandaag Inside also discussed the physical condition of winger Ruben van Bommel, who missed the domestic fixture against ADO and was unavailable for the Champions League match against FC Porto. René van der Gijp questioned the severity of the winger’s injury.
Genee clarified that the issue is not overly serious, citing Peter Bosz’s pre-match press conference on Monday where the manager stated that Van Bommel had participated in a large portion of group training. However, Driessen suggested that PSV deliberately left the player behind in Eindhoven to accelerate his recovery specifically for Sunday’s clash against Feyenoord.
