The Johan Cruyff Shield will be on the line when Dutch powerhouses Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven square off at De Kuip on Friday. The champions host cup-holders PSV to determine who will begin their 2023–24 season by winning the Dutch Super Cup. The Eredivisie is about to return. When these two Dutch heavyweights compete, the goals frequently flow. Today, a firework is also anticipated.
Feyenoord vs PSV Eindhoven
Last year, Feyenoord won the Eredivisie championship. Since 2017, Feyenoord had not won a league championship. They will now have the chance to claim the Super Cup and deliver a positive message for the upcoming campaign. Feyenoord failed to make a strong impression during the preseason, winning just three of its first six games (3-2-1 record).
They defeated Benfica 2-1 at home in the previous game. First-half goals from Brazilian attacker Igor Paixao and Mexican striker Santiago Gimenez secured the win for Feyenoord. Croatian striker Petar Musa scored the goal for Benfica. The Dutch champions needed that victory following a string of defeats. After such a victory, Feyenoord will undoubtedly restore some confidence.
PSV finished second in the Eredivisie the season before, seven points behind league champions Feyenoord. PSV needs to be in top shape during this part of the season because they will soon play in the Champions League qualifying matches. The previous four games were victories for PSV. They defeated Nottingham Forest 1-0 at home in the last friendly. A second-half goal from Belgian forward Johan Bakayoko sealed the deal for PSV Eindhoven.
Verdict
In nine of the last ten matches between these teams, both teams to score was a profitable wager, and in the most recent three matches, both teams have scored at least twice each.
PSV has been in terrific scoring form during the preseason and has found a way to win every friendly game, surrendering only four times.
The game is being played at Feyenoord’s De Kuip stadium in Rotterdam, where they have scored in 14 of their 15 competitive games so far in 2023. They have scored in five of their six preseason games.
Last season, Feyenoord finished as champions, and they are eager to repeat that achievement this year. Feyenoord will be confident in their chances because PSV Eindhoven lost some important players and Ajax isn’t exactly instilling confidence right now.
On the other hand, PSV Eindhoven finished second last year and now has Peter Bosz in place of Ruud van Nistelrooy. Bosz is a divisive figure, and supporters of Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, and Lyon will be familiar with how his football can both amuse and depress followers.
To replace Xavi Simons’ input will be one of his most difficult challenges. Simons, who previously played for Paris Saint-Germain, is now with RB Leipzig after contributing 27 goals last season. The Dutch giants have added American forward Ricardo Pepi and mercurial attacker Noa Lang to their rosters. Lang, in particular, exudes confidence. It looks like a tight game, with Feyenoord coming out on top.

Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
