# PSV vs FC Eindhoven > Club Friendlies 1 · Kickoff Tue 28 Jul 2026, 18:00 UTC · [Canonical HTML](https://betsprinter.com/fixtures/37224) **Status:** Scheduled ## Pre-match deep dive ### Perišić red-hot as PSV navigate absence of Dennis Man ## The stage This friendly is timed as a summer tune-up but arrives with clarity on timing: kickoff is Tue 28 Jul 2026 at 18:00 UTC in Club Friendlies 1[^fact-1]. The fixture is ostensibly low-stakes, yet the clock and the opponents’ immediate preparation make it a meaningful probe of match-day readiness and rotation patterns for the squad named here[^fact-1]. ## Form & momentum Form reads favourably on paper: the club’s recent run is WDDWW in the last 10, translating to a record line of 6-3-1 (W‑D‑L) and a points-per-game rate of 2.10[^fact-2]. Offence and defence are both clear contributors to that return — the side is averaging 3.40 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per match over the referenced sequence[^fact-2]. Those numbers frame an outlook of attacking fluency paired with occasional defensive leakage rather than systemic frailty[^fact-2]. ## Personnel The attacking narrative is heavily influenced by one man in particularly sharp form: Ivan Perišić has produced 2 goals and 2 assists across his last 2 appearances and carries an average rating of 8.31 in that span[^fact-3]. That kind of recent output and rating implies a player who is delivering end-product and influence at the highest frequency within the sample provided[^fact-3]. Conversely, the side will be without Dennis Man through injury; the absence removes a player who logged 305 minutes in the recent run[^fact-4]. That minutes total signals he had a measurable role in the rotations leading up to this fixture, and his unavailability compresses selection options and may shift workload onto those in-form contributors identified above[^fact-4][^fact-3]. No structured facts were supplied on the opponent’s personnel or form, so attention should remain on how the available squad balances Perišić’s current sharpness against the enforced absence noted[^fact-3][^fact-4]. ## Where the model sees value The clearest edge emerges from reconciling attacking volume with the present match context: the team’s 3.40 goals-per-match figure over the recent sample indicates a sustained capacity to produce multiple goals in friendlies and competitive runs alike[^fact-2]. Coupled with Perišić’s direct contributions — 2 goals and 2 assists in two outings — the forecast tilts toward continued attacking returns from those leading lines[^fact-3][^fact-2]. Risk-side adjustment hinges on the Dennis Man absence. The 305 minutes he contributed in the referenced run suggest his removal is non-trivial for rotation and depth, meaning any model-derived expectation for consistent attacking production should be down-weighted by the loss of that specific resource[^fact-4]. The practical implication: favour scenarios that preserve high expected goals from the side overall but incorporate a modest increase in variance due to the absence[^fact-2][^fact-4][^fact-3]. Given the facts available, the highest-conviction edges are: leaning toward continued multi-goal output from the team (supported by a 3.40 goals-per-match sample) and identifying Perišić as the likeliest individual source of tangible end-product in the immediate term (2 goals and 2 assists in his last two outings, average rating 8.31)[^fact-2][^fact-3]. Those edges are tempered by the removal of minutes previously occupied by Dennis Man, which introduces selection friction and occasional drops in attacking continuity[^fact-4]. ## Verdict Expect an attack-forward display anchored by the in-form Perišić, with the side’s recent 3.40 goals-per-match profile suggesting multiple-scoring opportunities even as the team adapts to the enforced absence of a 305-minute contributor in Dennis Man — the balance is positivity on the front foot with a measurable, specific injury-induced caveat[^fact-3][^fact-2][^fact-4]. ### Cited facts [^fact-1]: **Kickoff** — Tue 28 Jul 2026, 18:00 UTC — Club Friendlies 1 [^fact-2]: **PSV recent form** — WDDWW last 10: 6-3-1 (W-D-L), 2.10 PPG, 3.40 goals scored / 1.70 conceded per match.
