Betting suggestion:

This will be an intriguing clash between PSV, the Eredivisie leaders, and Excelsior, the runners-up in the Eerste Divisie, the second tier of Dutch football. We recommend betting on Under 4.5 Goals, as this is a single-elimination match where we anticipate a strong defensive approach from the away team to contain the attacking threat of the home side, one of the main favourites to win the KNVB Beker 2024/2025. It's worth noting that this bet was successful in 5 of PSV's last 10 home matches and, more significantly, in 9 of the last 10 away games played by Excelsior this season.

Preview
The KNVB Beker 2024/2025 reaches the round of 16. The matches continue to be single-leg knockout ties, with extra time in case of a draw in regular time, followed by penalties if needed. PSV and Excelsior will face each other at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven, with Allard Lindhout as the main referee and Richard Martens in charge of the VAR.

Analysis PSV

PSV is the third-most successful club in KNVB Beker history, with 11 titles and 19 final appearances. Their campaign in this edition began in the previous round on 17-12-2024, with an emphatic 8-0 victory over Koninklijke at home. PSV's most recent match was a 2-2 home draw against AZ on 11-01-2025. Prior to that, they secured a 3-0 home win over Feyenoord on 22-12-2024, both matches part of the Eredivisie, where PSV currently leads the table with a 4-point cushion over the second-placed team. This season, PSV has played 26 matches, achieving 18 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses, with 83 goals scored and 27 conceded. At home, they remain unbeaten across 14 matches, with 11 wins, 3 draws, 54 goals scored, and only 12 conceded. Manager Peter Bosz is expected to make changes to his starting lineup, which is based on the 4-2-3-1 formation. Midfielder Joey Veerman, who has contributed 1 goal and 6 assists in 16 matches this season, is likely to feature. However, PSV will be without several key players due to injury: right-backs Sergiño Dest and Rick Karsdorp, midfielder Isaac Babadi, left-winger Couhaib Driouech, and centre-back Adamo Nagalo.

Confirmed Lineup: Joel Drommel, R. Flamingo, Richard Ledezma, Matteo Dams, Armando Obispo, Joey Veerman, Guus Til, Jerdy Schouten, Ricardo Pepi, J. Bakayoko, Noa Lang.
Coach: P. Bosz.

Analysis Excelsior

Despite being a traditional club, Excelsior views the KNVB Beker as a challenge to overcome, having only reached the final once in 1930, where they failed to win the title. In this edition, they debuted on 29-10-2024 with a 2-1 home victory against VVV. In the previous round, on 17-12-2024, they secured a 3-1 away win over Eindhoven. Most recently, on 10-01-2025, Excelsior achieved a 1-0 home victory against Dordrecht. Before that, on 21-12-2024, they drew 1-1 with VVV away, both matches part of the Eerste Divisie, the second tier of Dutch football. Excelsior currently sits in second place, just one point behind the leaders, and is on course for direct promotion to the top division. The team is unbeaten in 11 matches, with 7 wins and 4 draws. Over the season, Excelsior has played 23 matches, recording 14 wins, 6 draws, and 3 losses, scoring 45 goals and conceding 22. Away from home, they have played 12 matches, achieving 5 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses, with 21 goals scored and 13 conceded. Manager Ruben den Uil might adjust his starting lineup, which follows a 4-3-3 formation, but midfielder Noah Naujoks, who has contributed 7 goals and 6 assists in 23 appearances, is expected to feature. The only absentee is defender Kik Pierie, who has missed the last 7 matches due to a foot injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Calvin Raatsie, Django Warmerdam, Casper Widell, Ilias Bronkhorst, Arthur Zagre, Lance Duijvestijn, Cedric Hatenboer, Noah Naujoks, Derensili Sanches Fernandes, Mike van Duinen, Seydou Fini.
Coach: M. Dijkhuizen.
