How To Watch PSV Eindhoven vs NAC Breda Live 

PSV coach Roger Schmidt: “Cup football is never easy”

It is February and PSV is still active on three fronts. An enormous luxury for the people of Eindhoven, who were often quickly eliminated in the cup in recent seasons. Trainer Roger Schmidt hopes that his team will make it to the final this time: “The cup is extremely important to us, perhaps even more important than the Europe Conference League, of course we want to go far there too. But winning the cup is a real prize, that stands forever. We already won the Johan Cruijff Scale this season and want to add at least one prize to that this season. The KNVB Cup is a great opportunity for that, so we are very keen to do well against NAC.”

“Extremely eager to do well against NAC”

Schmidt knows that there are no easy cup rounds, because it is one match and the opponent is fully geared to PSV, which makes it often difficult to play football freely. “Football is never easy, especially cup football. You will always have to be ready for the game and show your qualities. But we are very keen to do well against NAC and to qualify for the semi-finals.”

NAC Breda trainer Edwin de Graaf: “These are beautiful football evenings”

This is already the game of the year for NAC Breda. The team, which plays in the Kitchen Champion Division, knows in advance that it is the underdog with fans and bookmakers. Trainer Edwin de Graaf therefore mainly focuses on the fun of the game. “Playing against PSV is fantastic for NAC. These are simply beautiful football evenings and certainly with an audience there.”

“Making it difficult for PSV”

De Graaf will also enjoy himself, but has in mind that he would have preferred an easier opponent in order to have a better chance of making the cup fairy tale last even longer: “Of course you prefer to play against a team against which you have a better chance of progressing to to go to the next round. Then I would rather choose RKC and NEC, but in the end this is what you do it for as a football player, so we will try to make it as difficult as possible for PSV.”

Statistics

PSV reached the quarterfinals of the cup by beating Telstar. An easy job on paper, but Telstar proved tough and even took the lead boldly. Thanks to hits from Mario Götze and Joey Veerman, his first in the service of PSV, PSV still managed to win 2-1.

NAC Breda also defeated an Eredivisie club in the eighth final. The team of trainer De Graaf, who had surgery for a tumor just before that cup match, defeated PEC Zwolle 2-1. Kaj de Rooij became the match winner in that game with his goal in the 84th minute.

Head 2 Head

The last meeting between PSV and NAC took place on January 23, 2020. NAC relegated that season to the Kitchen Champion Division, but managed to beat PSV that season. NAC defeated her provincial colleague from Eindhoven 2-0. In the seven previous mutual duels, PSV had always drawn the longest straw, with the 6-1 (2014) and 5-1 (2018) victories being the most eye-catching.

Current form NAC Breda

NAC Breda has difficulty winning in the competition after the winter break. It started the new calendar year with draws against FC Eindhoven and FC Volendam. It then lost to FC Emmen, but in the meantime still booked the 2-1 cup victory over PEC Zwolle. Then it played at home against Roda JC Kerkrade. Because the Limburgers are higher in the ranking, NAC also had to fight against them at full strength. A calmer preparation for the cup match against PSV was therefore not possible.

Current form PSV Eindhoven

PSV started 2022 well, but lost 1-2 in the top match against Ajax on 23 January. A controversial goal by Noussair Mazraoui decided that game in favor of the team from Amsterdam. Last Saturday, PSV also had to work hard in the home game against AZ, so that the team of trainer Roger Schmidt could not save itself for this cup clash against NAC Breda.

Prognosis

We predict a fairly simple cup victory for PSV and bet on Jacks.nl on a 3-0 final score in this quarter final of the TOTO KNVB cup.
