PSV Eindhoven team overview
PSV enter the new campaign as favourites to retain their league crown after lifting a third consecutive Eredivisie title last season.

At the Philips Stadion, PSV remain one of the strongest home teams in Dutch football and are expected to control proceedings from the opening whistle.

Fortuna team overview
Fortuna Sittard face another challenging campaign after securing survival last season. Their objective will again be to remain clear of the relegation battle by collecting valuable points against teams in the bottom half, although away trips to title contenders such as PSV represent one of their toughest assignments of the season.
Danny Buijs' men showed reasonable form during pre-season, recording three victories and two defeats. Their most impressive wins came against Belgian side Genk and Cypriot outfit APOEL, while their two defeats were 3-1 losses to Metz and Olympiacos.
In terms of availability, Fortuna have relatively few injury concerns. Goalkeeper Ramazan Bayram is unavailable, while the remainder of the senior squad is expected to be available, allowing the visitors to field a competitive starting eleven for the season opener.

Prediction
Fortuna are capable of causing occasional problems on the counter-attack, especially given that both teams have scored in nine of the last ten meetings, but sustaining defensive resistance over 90 minutes against the champions is an entirely different challenge. Expect PSV to start the 2026/27 Eredivisie season on the front foot, potentially resulting in two or three first-half goals.
Prediction: Over 1.5 Goals 1st Half.
Three reasons we expect Over 1.5 Goals 1st Half
- PSV have made a habit of starting quickly, particularly at home. PSV have seen Over 1.5 goals in the first half in 6 of their last 10 matches.
- The average 1st-half goals in the direct meeting between PSV Eindhoven and Fortuna have been 2.3 per match (combined average across last 10 head-to-head outings).
- Recent head-to-head meetings have produced plenty of goals overall. Eight of the last ten meetings have finished with over 2.5 goals and nine of the last ten have seen both teams score.
