Defending champions Eindhoven will host The Hague in the last eight of the Dutch Cup. Although they have been eliminated from the UEFA Europa League, their competition in the league is still fierce. The draw for the Dutch Cup is quite favorable to them, and they will definitely give their best in the home match. The Hague are in good form, undefeated so far in 2023, and are expected to start a fierce battle with Yanhofen. Six of the last seven meetings between the two sides have seen four or more goals scored, so a 3.5-goal handicap is worth trusting. (Friday 1.45am kick-off)
Despite Yanhofen's 2-0 home win over Siville in the second round of the Europa League play-offs, they were 3 goals down in the first round and ended up going out of the competition. Currently ranked fourth in the Dutch Eredivisie, six points away from the top of the table Feijano, and there are two strong rivals in front of them, Ajax and Alkmaar, the road to the championship is full of challenges, but not impossible.
PSV have won their last 10 home matches against The Hague and have a clear psychological advantage, winning the last 3 matches by 4-0 and 3-1 scores, so they are expected to win.
Hague Cup hopes for comeback
However, The Hague may not be willing to settle for a setback. Currently sitting in mid-table in the Dutch Eredivisie, they don't need to worry about relegation for the time being and are expected to come out on top in the cup competitions.Since 2023, The Hague have won 7 and drawn 3 of their 10 matches, and have failed to score in only 2 of them, including last week's away match against Den Bosch, which they intend to save for this match. The Hague are expected to go toe-to-toe with PSV in a bid to create a miracle. Considering that six of the last seven meetings between the two teams have seen four or more goals, a goal-scorer will be a must.
