Jong PSV vs Graafschap Prediction & Betting tips
The county produced a disastrous start over the last season and did not overcome that blow later, causing the Doetinchemmers to miss placement for the playoffs. This year, the Superboers put in on a ranking with the top five. The outing against Jong PSV is immediately a bother.
Jong PSV :
In recent years, few PSV youth players succeeded in making the final move to the first team, but this year there seems to be a number of candidates for a place at the first selection. Young PSV obviously benefits from this because this team offers these players the opportunity to play against strong opponents. Last season, Young PSV finished fourth and that was a lot better than expected. The Eindhovenians had this position mainly due to the impressive form in the City of Light. Fifteen of the nineteen home matches were converted into profits.
A number of PSV players are close to a place at the first selection, but they are still expected in the Jupiler League during the first months of the season. Sam Lammers, last season well for seventeen goals, has Jurgen Locadia and Luuk de Jong for himself and will again show his arts in the Jupiler League. Another player to watch is Albert Gudmundsson. The Icelandic striker produced three hatricks last season and ended up at eighteen goals.
In terms of new accrual, it is mainly looking forward to the performance of central defender Armando Obispo, who played last season for the under-19, and wing spinner Mauro Junior. Both players were named the best player in their line at the prestigious Otten Cup (including participation of Internazionale and Manchester United).
Trainer Dennis Haar, who came across AZ and Pascal Jansen’s stick, will have to puzzle every week to come to his base, but that did not prevent Young PSV from getting good results last season. Young PSV plays this match on Monday night and therefore it is not excluded that some players from the first selection join the youngsters. For example, the Eindhovenians have not yet found a new club for Marcel Ritzmaier. The Austrian may leave PSV.
Graafschap:
Club icon Jan Vreman received De Graafschap last season but did not play football, which soon resulted in a crisis. Henk de Jong was later taken for the group and under his leadership the Superboers scratched again. However, this was too late to compete for promotion and therefore the previous season may be considered to be lost. However, the last months of the last year have brought new confidence and De Graafschap wants to continue building on that vibe.
The county took part in a few basic forces during the summer, but also succeeded in adding some targeted reinforcements to the selection. As expected, Piotr Parzyszek turned out to be unsustainable for the Doetinchemmers. The Polish striker made 25 goals last season and with that production he forced a transfer to PEC Zwolle. Bryan Smeets, who had a far off impressive season, crossed over to SC Cambuur. Opposing Jordy Tutuarima, Fabian Serrarens (Telstar), Myenty Abena (FC Utrecht) and Sjoerd Ars (Fortuna Sittard).
At first glance, the selection of De Graafschap is no better than last year and therefore it is only questionable whether this team can meet the high expectations. In addition, a top five must be in the barrel.
During the preparation it became increasingly clear that De Graafschap will again play with five defenders. Filip Bednarek won the battle of the new goalkeeper Agil Etemadi and Lars Nieuwpoort is the new captain.
