PSV Eindhoven travel to the Kooi Stadion on Sunday to face an in-form SC Cambuur side in an intriguing Eredivisie encounter.

Peter Bosz's reigning champions will be looking to respond after Wednesday's disappointing 2-1 Champions League defeat to Club Brugge. However, they face a Cambuur team enjoying an impressive unbeaten run and determined to extend it in front of their home supporters.

PSV sit third in the table with 23 points, two behind leaders Feyenoord, while Cambuur occupy tenth place with 15 points. The hosts have gone seven league matches without defeat and could establish a new club record in the Eredivisie era by avoiding a loss on Sunday.

Cambuur's return to the Eredivisie did not begin smoothly. Johan Plat's side lost their opening four league matches, conceding 16 goals in the process. Their fortunes have changed considerably since then, with the promoted side finding greater defensive stability and becoming increasingly difficult to beat.

Their recent results include victories over NEC, PEC Zwolle and Willem II, alongside draws against Telstar, ADO Den Haag and AZ. They also recorded a 4-0 lead against Go Ahead Eagles before the match was abandoned in the 82nd minute following incidents involving away supporters. The KNVB subsequently confirmed that the remaining minutes would not be played and the result would stand.

Cambuur have scored 15 goals across their last five league matches, demonstrating the attacking threat they can pose. However, injuries to several important players could make Sunday's challenge considerably harder.

PSV, meanwhile, arrive after an emphatic 7-0 victory over Willem II in their previous league outing. Seven different players scored in that contest, with Mauro Junior and Guus Til among those on target before substitute Ricardo Pepi added his name to the scoresheet.

Their European campaign has been less convincing. Club Brugge exposed PSV's defensive vulnerabilities in Eindhoven, taking advantage of the space left behind by Bosz's attacking setup to secure a 2-1 victory. Kodai Sano briefly brought PSV level, but Carlos Forbs punished another defensive lapse to score the winner.

Bosz nevertheless remains confident in his team's attacking approach and believes Cambuur should not be underestimated. PSV will expect to control possession and create chances, but they must also be more disciplined when possession is lost.

Cambuur have several selection concerns ahead of the visit of the champions. Captain Jamal Amofa is out for the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery on an Achilles tendon injury, while Jasper Meijster and Wout Asselman are also unavailable.

Rafik El Arguioui is another significant doubt, having emerged as Cambuur's leading scorer with six league goals. Nicolas Binder is expected to lead the attack if El Arguioui is absent, supported by Jason Ceka and Ilyes Hamache.

PSV are also without several players. Paul Wanner, Jerdy Schouten, Adamo Nagalo and Alassane Pléa remain sidelined, while Sam Lammers is a doubt. Wanner is not expected to return until after the international break.

Ricardo Pepi is available after returning from injury and scoring against Willem II. Ivan Perisic is also expected to feature despite suffering a head wound against Club Brugge, which required him to play with a bandage.

Expected lineups

SC Cambuur: Jansen; Costarelli, Van Duijl, Baouf, Bouah; Maertens, Souren, Apkakou; Ceka, Hamache, Binder.

PSV Eindhoven: Kovář; Dest, Geertruida, Obispo, Kostić; Mauro Júnior, Sano, Til; Perisic, Van Bommel, Mijnans.
