PSV against Ajax and Union Sint-Gillis a double challenge

PSV is about to face a crucial double confrontation this week, with a Champions League match against the Sint-Gillis Union followed by an Eredivisie derby against the Ajax. Coach Peter Bosz expressed doubts about the physical condition of Armando Obispo, a defender who had injured himself in the previous match against NEC. However, Obispo eventually participated in the training, which is good news for Bosz. Attackers Myron Boaadu and Ricaardo Pepi also took part in the full training, although Bosz wanted to spare them to avoid further injuries. The absence of Kiliann Sildillia, rear right, and the prolonged injury of Mauro Júnior could leave Anas Salah-Eddine as the left side, allowing Sergiño Dest to return to his usual right position.

The game against the Ajax, which will take place on Sunday, will be arbitrated by Sedar Gözübüyük, with the assistance of Erwin Zijlstra and Patrick Inia, and Pol van Boeckel as VAR. Gözübüyük recently received praise from Kenneth Perez, who regards him as a constant and good arbiter. Other arbitrators, such as Danny Makkelie and Robin Hensgens, have been criticized in recent weeks. Aad de Mos, former PSV coach, anticipates an additional difficulty against the Ajax in Eindhoven, where the club traditionally has more success. He predicted a 3-1 PSV victory over the Ajax and a tighter match against the Sint-Gillis Union, with a possible victory.

The Sint-Gillis Union is presented as a formidable opponent in the Champions League, with a powerful data exchange system and an impressive current form. The Napoli is also considered a difficult opponent. The match against the Union will take place on Tuesday at 6.45 p.m., followed by the derby against the Ajax on Sunday at 2.30 p.m. at Philips Stadion. These two matches represent a major challenge for PSV, which hopes to succeed in winning in both competitions.
