PSV
Buoyed by a thrilling 2-1 win over star-studded Ajax, Go Ahead Eagles will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on PSV in the KNVB Beker semis. Inigo Cordoba, who scored his eighth goal of the season at the weekend, will be the man to watch in the home team, while defender Bas Kuipers is back from suspension.
PSV, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Sparta Rotterdam. Roger Schmidt can count on key players for the Dutch Cup game, but beating Go Ahead Eagles on the road is easier said than done. Japan international Ritsu Doan is pushing for a start as well as fellow forward Carlos Vinicius. In their last meeting in the KNVB Beker PSV recorded a hard-fought 3-2 win over G.A. Eagles back in 2007.
