AZ Alkmaar vs PSV Eindhoven Predicted Lineups

AZ Alkmaar Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Owusu-Oduro; Kasius, Penetra, Goes, Dijkstra; Clasie, Mijnans; Sadiq, Koopmeiners, Patati; Parrott.

Martens is boosted by Troy Parrott's return from a minor knock, but injuries sideline Kees Smit (hamstring, out 3 weeks), Mexx Meerdink (ankle), Seiya Maikuma (knee), and Jordy Clasie (doubtful, calf). Denso Kasius slots in at right-back, with Sven Mijnans anchoring midfield. Ibrahim Sadiq and Peer Koopmeiners provide creative spark.

PSV Eindhoven Predicted XI (4-3-3): Benitez; Dest, Boscagli, Gasiorowski, Junior; Veerman, Schouten, Saibari; Lang, de Jong, Perisic.

Bosz has near-full strength, though long-term absentees Sergino Dest (knee, return December) and Rick Karsdorp (muscle) remain out. Alassane Plea (cartilage) and Ruben van Bommel (knee) are sidelined. Ismael Saibari's red-hot form (10 goals in 7 games) headlines the attack, with Joey Veerman dictating play.
