A match shaping the mid-season in the Eredivisie

PSV Eindhoven and Excelsior Rotterdam are playing a match in the 18th round of the Eredivisie 2025/2026 season at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven, at the address Frederiklaan 10a, on Saturday, January 10, 2026, starting at 20:00. The date immediately after the holiday period often brings a special charge as the rhythm of the championship heats up again, and teams want to set the tone for the second part of the season and the January weeks in which points are collected “in bulk”. For PSV, this is an opportunity to confirm its status as leader and continue the series of results that keeps it at the top of the table, while Excelsior seeks points away from home that bring peace and stability in the middle of the standings. That is precisely why interest in tickets can be heightened, especially when the host plays attractively and offensively, and the guest comes without the pressure of a favorite, ready to punish every mistake. If you plan to be part of the atmosphere in Eindhoven, ticket sales are available and it is most practical to secure your seat by clicking on the button marked

which will be placed next to the text, because such dates and large differences in ambitions often accelerate ticket purchases among fans and travelers.

Standings on the table and what the statistics of the first part of the season say

The table after the first 17 rounds gives a clear picture of why PSV enters this match as the team everyone is chasing: PSV is first with 46 points with a record of 15 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, and a goal difference of 52:21 (+31), which highlights both efficiency and control of matches in continuity. Excelsior Rotterdam is ahead of the 18th round in 12th place with 19 points, but with a game in hand (16 played) and a record of 6 wins, 1 draw, and 9 losses, with a goal difference of 16:27 (-11), which suggests that it is a team that has phases where it knows how to reach victories, but also periods when it concedes too many goals. Such a profile often creates matches with a clear favorite framework, but also with open space for “momentum” situations: an early goal, a missed sitter, or a red card can completely change the story, especially when the guest plays relieved of pressure. For fans and neutral viewers, this is a combination that increases the demand for tickets, because the Philips Stadion generally reacts to the rhythm of the match, and the audience in Eindhoven knows how to “push” the host when they feel the result is breaking. If you aim to experience that feeling live, buying tickets on time makes sense, because the travel, arrival, and accommodation plan is easier to arrange when tickets are already secured.

PSV Eindhoven: the rhythm of the leader and an attack that dictates the tempo

PSV's figure of 52 goals scored after 17 matches is not just a statistic, but a signal of style: the team plays with the intention to take the initiative early, to attack the width, and to reach situations in the penalty area through fast ball flow. When such a favorite plays at home, the pressure on the opponent often begins already in the first minutes, and the Philips Stadion, as a compact and enclosed stadium, additionally strengthens the impression of a “constant onslaught” because the sound stays inside and the rhythm of the stands easily spills onto the pitch. In such matches, the discipline of the guest is crucial: PSV punishes lost duels in the middle and slow reactions after a lost ball, and if they open the scoring, they often switch to a phase of controlled attack where the opponent defends in a low block and waits for a set-piece or counter. That is precisely why tickets for such a match are not only interesting to local fans, but also to travelers who want to see the team that currently sets the standard of the league and acts as a “unit of measurement” for others. One should not forget that in January the logistics of arrival are more sensitive due to colder weather and shorter days, so it is practical to conclude the plan as soon as possible, and the first step is simple: secure your tickets by clicking on the button

and only then peacefully plan the route, parking, or arrival by public transport. When tickets are sorted, the whole experience becomes “easier”, because you do not just come to Eindhoven for the match, but for an evening in which the favorite tries to confirm dominance in front of full stands.

Excelsior Rotterdam: stabilization and the fight for points on away grounds

Excelsior comes into this match from a mid-table position, but with a clear need to move away in points from the zone where every series of defeats quickly turns into a stressful story. The goal difference of 16:27 shows that the team often has to accept phases of the match without the ball, and away games at the leader's typically require a plan in which details are key: closing central corridors, control of the second ball, and discipline in set-pieces. That is precisely where the interest lies for spectators: when an underdog comes to Eindhoven without illusions, they can play pragmatically, wait for a mistake, and try to “steal” part of the match, and such a scenario can bring tension until the very end. In addition, the fact that Excelsior has a game in hand suggests that the season still has a lot of room for movements, so every point against the big ones carries special value for them, both in the table and in self-confidence. From a fan perspective, such matches often attract a visiting audience that wants to see how their team copes with the biggest challenge, so that is an additional reason for ticket purchase to start earlier, especially if you are traveling and want to choose a sector and arrival time. If your goal is to feel that contrast of favorite and underdog in one of the most intense environments of the league, ticket sales are available via the button below, and a click on

is the fastest way to secure yourself a ticket and not leave planning for the last moment.

Key players and duels that can decide

Such encounters often come down to several “micro-battles”, and numbers from the season so far emphasize who can make the difference: at PSV, Guus Til stands out as the most efficient with 11 goals, while Ismael Saibari with 9 and Joey Veerman with 8 are at the very top of performance, which shows that the threat comes from multiple lines, and not just from one point of attack. Veerman is also among the best assistants, and alongside him Ivan Perišić stands out with 7 assists, which is interesting to the Croatian audience as well because it speaks of his influence on the rhythm and final pass in the context of a league that rewards fast combinatorics. At Excelsior, the best scorer is Noah Naujoks with 5 goals, while Gyan De Regt and Irakli Yegoian are among the more prominent by goals, so it is realistic to expect that the guests will seek moments in transition and try to get a shot before PSV sets up in a defensive block. If PSV imposes possession, it will be crucial how Excelsior defends “half-space” zones and whether it can withstand waves of crosses and cut-backs, and on the other hand, PSV must be careful not to leave too much space behind the back line in moments when it aggressively presses. Precisely such tactical nuances make the match attractive for the audience, and when you have players on the pitch who can change the rhythm with one move, the atmosphere in the stands usually grows additionally and then tickets are sought even among neutral viewers who are “chasing” a good football evening. If you want to be part of that ambiance, buy tickets via the button

and secure yourself a position before the match weekend approaches and the last minutes start in which the choice of seats is weaker.

Head-to-head meetings and psychological moment

The mutual history of these clubs generally goes in favor of PSV, and the current season has already offered a clear signal: in the first league duel of 2025/2026 PSV celebrated away at Excelsior 2:1, which is a result that suggests that the guest knows how to stay in the match and make things difficult, but that PSV still finds a way to reach victory. In the last few official clashes, there were often goals, including a cup match with a very high score, which gives fans additional motivation because there is a real chance to see dynamic football at the Philips Stadion, and not a “chess” match. Psychologically, there exists a typical relationship of favorite and underdog: PSV enters with the expectation of victory, but also with the pressure to confirm dominance on the scoreboard, while Excelsior can profit if the match stays “tight” for a long time and if the audience becomes impatient. For the guests, it is important to endure the first 15–20 minutes, and for PSV it is crucial to prevent a scenario with an early goal in which the opponent closes up and waits for one mistake, because then the match can become much more nervous than the table suggests. In such an environment, the stands play a big role, so it is not strange that tickets are often sought also because of the very story of a “routine victory that is never routine” when an underdog comes without fear. If you want to experience that psychological war on the spot, ticket sales are available and the recommendation is to click the button

as soon as you arrange the travel plan, because precisely such matches are a magnet for an audience that wants to see whether the favorite will finish the job quickly or if the guests will drag the match into drama.

Philips Stadion and the urban context of Eindhoven

The Philips Stadion is not just the home ground of PSV but also part of the identity of the city: the stadium is located in Eindhoven and carries a heritage connected to the industrial story of Philips, because the entire complex was created as a sports space connected to the local community, and through the decades it grew into one of the recognizable football environments of the Netherlands. The capacity is about 35 thousand spectators, which is enough to create an intense atmosphere, but also compact enough that every wave of cheering is felt on the pitch, especially in evening slots when floodlights and the rhythm of song give additional weight to every action. The location on the edge of the center makes the stadium a logical choice for fans who want to combine the match with city contents, because before and after the meeting one often moves towards the center, into zones with restaurants and bars, so the whole experience becomes more than 90 minutes of football. For travelers, this means that planning is easier, but also that accommodation becomes part of the strategy, so it is useful to look at Accommodation near the venue in time to avoid the rush after the match and to be able to peacefully enjoy the evening in Eindhoven. Precisely in such a context tickets gain additional value: when you know that a stadium with a clear history and a city that “lives” around it awaits you, the ticket becomes an entry pass into a complete experience, and not just access to the stand. That is why it is recommended that ticket purchase be the first move, by clicking on the button

, and only then is the rest of the trip arranged, from arrival to the choice of accommodation and time of arrival at the stadium.

How to get to the stadium and what to plan on match day

The practical side of the match in Eindhoven often surprises positively because the Philips Stadion is positioned so that it is reachable on foot from the very center: the stadium is on the edge of the city center, and from the main railway station and shopping zones it is separated by approximately 5 to 10 minutes of walking, which is a great advantage for fans who come by train or who want to avoid crowds around the stadium. For those coming by car, city parking lots in the center are usually within walking distance, so it often makes sense to arrive earlier and leave the vehicle in the center and do the rest of the route on foot, instead of entering the last wave of traffic before the start. If you are coming via Eindhoven Airport, there is also a simple connection to the main station, and then a short walk to the stadium, which facilitates planning for guests coming to the city for the first time as well. In January it is important to count on colder evenings and possible precipitation, so it is smart to arrive earlier, enter the stadium zone without rushing, and avoid a situation where you run through lines immediately before the start. Since the whole day is often planned around the match, it is logical to check in parallel Accommodation offers in the host city, because a good accommodation location means less stress after the end of the meeting and a faster return to warmth. All this makes sense only when tickets are sorted, so the best order is simple: secure your tickets by clicking on

, and then arrange arrival, the walk, and time of entry to the stadium according to your own rhythm.

Fan experience: rhythm of the stands, evening atmosphere and planning without stress

The evening slot at the Philips Stadion has its recognizable “film”: the audience arrives earlier, a fan walk towards the entrances is created around the stadium, and as the start approaches, the sound and energy grow, especially when the host starts aggressively early and tries to score a goal in the first twenty minutes or so. In such matches, the difference between watching on a screen and the live experience is seen, because the speed of the ball, the intensity of duels, and the moment when the whole stadium rises to its feet because of one stolen ball or smart play are felt. For visiting fans and neutral viewers, this is an opportunity to see in the same frame both the “technical school” of Dutch football and the emotional charge of the stands, which is a combination that often encourages people to buy tickets as part of a trip, and not just as a sports outing. So that everything passes peacefully, it is good to plan an earlier arrival and leave enough time for orientation around the stadium, especially if you want to photograph the atmosphere or stop by the center before entering, and the fact that the stadium is close to the city also helps in that plan. If you are coming from outside Eindhoven, it makes sense to check Accommodation for fans on match day, because staying overnight nearby means that you can stay in the city without rushing even after the final whistle. Tickets are the key starting point in that story: ticket sales are available, and it is simplest to buy tickets via the button

so that you could plan the rest of the evening relaxed, without chasing the last available seats.

What to expect on the pitch: tactical scenarios and rhythm of the match

Tactically, this is a meeting in which PSV wants to impose high intensity and turn the match into a series of attacking waves, using width and crosses into the zone between center-backs and full-backs, while Excelsior probably seeks compactness and opportunities from transition, especially if it manages to pull PSV's back line too high. A key detail can be the way in which the guests defend the second wave of attack: PSV often returns the ball to the danger zone immediately after the first shot or blocked shot, and that is where matches are broken because the defense reacts instinctively at that moment and often takes a step too late. On the other hand, Excelsior will be more dangerous if it manages to connect several fast passes after winning the ball, because every favorite can become vulnerable if they lose balance and leave space in the back, and in such situations “one right pass” or a smart exit into a counter is often sought. For spectators, this is a scenario that promises dynamics: either PSV breaks the match early and the stadium goes into celebration, or the match stays on the edge and every minute brings a new dose of tension, which is often the most attractive variant. In both cases, the experience of the Philips Stadion is best remembered live, and when the context of the fight for the top and the fight for stability is added, it is clear why tickets for this event become sought after as the match date approaches.
