PSV Travel to Cambuur After Champions League Setback

The match tests PSV’s squad depth with several regulars unavailable while Ricardo Pepi is fit to play and Ivan Perisic has been cleared to start.

Overview

  • The Eredivisie fixture kicks off at the Kooi Stadion on Sunday with live coverage on ESPN and Canal+.
  • PSV arrive looking to respond to their recent 1-2 Champions League defeat to Club Brugge and to steady a defence exposed in that game.
  • Ricardo Pepi is available after returning from injury and scoring in PSV’s 7-0 league win, and Ivan Perisic is reported fit to start despite wearing a head bandage.
  • Media previews project a largely unchanged PSV starting XI featuring Matej Kovář in goal and a frontline of Perisic, Sven Mijnans and Ruben van Bommel.
  • Promoted SC Cambuur are a renewed challenge after a seven-match unbeaten run that has lifted them to mid-table despite losing captain Jamal Amofa for the season to Achilles surgery.
