Preview: PSV Eindhoven vs. Emmen - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Saturday's Eredivisie clash between PSV Eindhoven and Emmen, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

PSV Eindhoven get their 2022-23 Eredivisie campaign underway with a clash against Emmen at the Philips Stadion on Saturday evening.

The home side will be looking to go one better than last season's second-place finish, while the visitors seek a positive start on their return to the top tier of Dutch football.

PSV Eindhoven played out a 1-1 draw against Monaco in the first leg of their Champions League qualifying tie at the Stade Louis II on Tuesday.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's men broke the deadlock in the 38th minute through Joey Veerman but were pegged back in the final knockings of the second half by Axel Disasi.

Prior to that, the Rood-witten opened their season with a piece of Silverware as they defeated Ajax 5-3 in the Dutch Super Cup grand finale on Saturday.

Next up on the horizon is the challenge of an opposing side who have failed to come out on top in any of the previous five meetings between the teams.

Ahead of the conclusion of their continental commitment three days later, Saturday's hosts will be looking to pick up a morale-boosting victory on home turf this weekend.

Emmen were on the receiving end of a comprehensive 3-1 defeat against Sparta Rotterdam in a friendly at the Het Kasteel on Saturday.

Dick Lukkien's men found themselves two goals down at half time thanks to a Vito van Crooy brace, and after they managed to pull one back through Richairo Zivkovic, Mario Engels put the game to bed 15 minutes from time.

As a result, the Drenthe-based side are now on a run of four games without a win, with each of their most recent three outings ending in a loss.

Saturday's visitors follow up the trip to Eindhoven with a clash against RKC Waalwijk, while their hosts take on Go Ahead Eagles in matchday two.
