ADO Den Haag had quite a decent previous season, as the team managed to stay away from the relegation battle and await the end of the season in quite relaxed fashion. They ended up being at thirteenth position with nine points above the relegated sides. Team gets most of their points in front of home crowd, so no doubt that the team will be fired up to get some positive result here, against current champions, but also in the season opener.

They were actually quite close to upset the players from Eindhoven as they lost previous two games with 2:3 result, so everyone is now secretly hoping that the team will be able to make a step further and stay undefeated. They didn’t have many positive results during the pre-season friendly matches as the team lost to Burton, Genclerbirligi and Veria scoring only one goal, but they improved in the last friendly game before this one, as the Dutch side won over Mallorca narrowly 1:0 thanks to a goal from Gorre in second minute, standing quite well in the defense for the remaining of the match. Home side lost couple of experienced defenders, so it remains to be seen how will they react in the new season. Coach Henk Fraser will miss central defender Wilfried Kanon and offensive midfielder Mathias Gehrt due injuries.



PSV Eindhoven were absolutely dominant in the previous season as the team finally became champions of their country after seven years of waiting and also they managed to break the four years ruling of their biggest rivals from Ajax. Coach Cocu did a great job and everyone are pleased with him in the club, as the team have taken the leading position from the second round and never slipped during the season.

During the season they have lost only four matches, most of them losing at the end of the season when everything was decided already. After such a great season, they are now focused to repeat the success, to win the domestic Cup, but also to leave better impression in Champions League this time. Team seems to be going into the right direction, as they have already won the Super Cup finale against Gronigen 3:0 few days ago. Defender Poulsen and midfielder Propper had their debuts in that game, while the team also brought defender Moreno, striker Lestienne and midfielder Pereiro moreover. Defender Willems and forward Jozefzoon will miss this game due injuries.

After great previous season and impressive start in Super Cup game, PSV is expected now to impress once again and make a strong start in the league as well. They should have no major problems overcoming a side that is close to relegation battle by quality.
