PSV vs Koninklijke HFC prediction and betting tips on December 17, 2024

Game Prediction

On December 17, 2024, the Dutch Cup Round of 16 will feature a match between PSV and Koninklijke HFC. It’s hard to find intrigue in such a mismatched pairing, especially with the game taking place in Eindhoven.
Our Prediction for PSV vs Koninklijke HFC
The "Farmers" appointed Peter Bosz as head coach in 2023. Returning to the Netherlands after a series of mixed and mostly unsuccessful stints in Germany and France, Bosz started his tenure with a Super Cup win. Ultimately, he guided PSV to a commanding Eredivisie title.
This season began with a disappointing loss to Feyenoord in the Dutch Super Cup. However, the "Red and Whites" have been sensational in the Eredivisie, winning every game except for a surprising 0-1 defeat to Heerenveen in the last round. Their Champions League journey has been more turbulent, with defeats to Juventus and Brest but impressive performances against Sporting, PSG, Girona, and an unforgettable comeback against Shakhtar.
The "Blue and Whites" are approaching their 150th anniversary but have always been a modest club. Currently competing in the Tweede Divisie—a semi-professional league—they finished 11th last season and remain mid-table this year. However, they’ve made surprising progress in the Dutch Cup, knocking out Emmen thanks to Pleum's solitary goal.
