Today's game between PSV Eindhoven and PEC Zwolle will kick-off at Apr 23, 2026, 3:00 PM. The match is available to watch on ESPN Select.
PSV Eindhoven host PEC Zwolle at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven in an Eredivisie fixture that finds the two sides at very different points in their seasons.
PSV sit top of the Eredivisie table and will be looking to extend their lead at the summit. Two wins from their last two league matches have restored momentum after a difficult mid-March run that saw them lose back-to-back games.
The most recent of those victories came away at Sparta Rotterdam, where PSV claimed a 2-0 win to underline their title credentials. Peter Bosz's squad has the quality to be ruthless at the Philips Stadion against a side struggling in the lower half of the table.
PEC Zwolle arrive in Eindhoven sitting 13th in the standings, their season defined more by survival concerns than any ambition to push upward. A 5-0 defeat at Go Ahead Eagles earlier this month was a bruising result, and their squad has been hit hard by injuries heading into this match.
The visitors did draw 2-2 with Excelsior last weekend, which at least halted a run of damaging results, but they will need a near-perfect performance to take anything from the Philips Stadion.
