No clean sheets in their last 6 games for the Dutch side. There are goals in this game.

PSV Eindhoven vs Heracles Preview and Team News
PSV Eindhoven
The Dutch giant will need to bounce back quickly from the damaging defeat vs AZ Alkmaar, a result which left the third-placed side trailing PSV only by goal difference. With 2 wins in the last 5 leagues games, PSV’s form in recent weeks has dipped. The defence hasn’t kept a clean sheet in 9 games in all competitions, so problems at the back are a contributing factor to their poor form. The upcoming return of defenders Olivier Boscagli and Timo Baumgartl will certainly give head coach Roger Schmidt more options to improve the backline.
Heracles
Heracles have a clean bill of health currently in terms of player injuries, which will help the team in this tie. The Eastern Dutch side have 2 wins in their last 5 league games away from home, with no clean sheets in their last 6 games home and away. Clearly, they come into the PSV tie in poor form. Forward Rai Vloet is currently 8th in the Eredivisie top scorers’ charts and will hope to push his team to an unlikely but plausible victory.
