"PSV are going great guns domestically with the weekend win at Fortuna Sittard their 13th on the trot in the Eredivisie, a run that has enabled them to open up a 16-point lead at the summit and, barring a dramatic collapse, they will be crowned Dutch champions for the third year in succession and 27th time overall. They haven't found the going quite as easy in the Champions League, however, although there have been some incredible highlights."
"They start the week in 21st place in the league phase, two points above the elimination spots and can't afford to lose on Tyneside given they face Bayern Munich in their final fixture next week. "We go there with a good feeling, but we also know what has to happen," Bosz said after the game at the weekend. "We have to get at least one point. But we always go into games to win, so that also applies to this match.""
PSV have won 13 consecutive Eredivisie matches and hold a 16-point lead, poised to secure a third straight Dutch title and 27th overall. Champions League form has been inconsistent, with defeats to Union SG and Atletico Madrid and a draw with Olympiacos, offset by standout wins at Napoli (6-2) and Liverpool (4-1). PSV sit 21st in the group, two points above elimination and must avoid defeat at Newcastle before a final fixture at Bayern Munich. Peter Bosz will approach the match aiming to win while targeting at least one point. Newcastle face defensive injuries and mixed form but remain active in multiple cup competitions.
