Sitting in sixth place three points behind top of the table AZ Alkmaar, Willem II visits Philips Stadion Saturday evening. Following the narrow victory against ADO Den Haag, Hubb Stevens will be looking for a resounding statement as PSV leads into a crucial Champions League match against Olympique Marseille.
Of the ADO Den Haag victory, Huub Stevens said:
"It was a morale-boosting win and I think we took a step in the right direction."
“Some things went well and we enjoyed a victory, which is the main thing. I was delighted with Eric Addo’s opening goal. That was the way we want to play. It’s a pity we didn’t manage to score a second goal until the dying minute. ADO had some chances to draw level.”
However along with a tough schedule that will see them play eight matches in roughly a month, they face the Willem II match with a number of injuries.
Regarding the match Huub Stevens added:
“Zonneveld is doubtful, while Bas Roorda, Jérémie Bréchet and Nordin Amrabat are ruled out of Saturday’s game."
"The visitors are well-organised in defence. I expect them to defend deeply and find their prolific striker Frank Demouge with counter attacks."
