- RKC Waalwijk will be without at least three players this week due to injuries. Yanick van Osch, Dario van den Buijs and Daouda Weidmann are all ruled out.
- Despite these absences, head coach Henk Fraser is expected to keep the same lineup as in the last match.
- Oskar Zawada has stood out for Waalwijk this season as the team's leading scorer with nine goals. Three of these goals have set the tone as the first of the match.
PSV Eindhoven- PSV has no new injury concerns, as they are still missing American players Malik Tillman and Ricardo Pepi. This suggests that head coach Peter Bosz may stick with the starting lineup from last weekend's 2–1 victory over Heerenveen.
- However, some players are eager for starting opportunities after making an impact off the bench and these include forward Johan Bakayoko, midfielder Joey Veerman, and full-backs Sergiño Dest and Tyrell Malacia.
- Luuk de Jong and Guus Til have emerged as PSV's primary attacking threats, scoring 11 and nine goals, respectively. De Jong is currently tied for third place among the league's top scorers in the 2024/25 season, while Til is tied for seventh.
