According to Bosz, Utrecht's new trainer Anthony Correia has not had much time to settle in, and the team's poor start to the season is not a reliable indicator of their abilities. Bosz hopes that the rain will continue to fall in Utrecht, saying "I hope that it will still be raining for a while, and that the sun will come out after our match." This comment suggests that Bosz is looking for an advantage in the match, but also acknowledges that Utrecht can be a difficult opponent.

Bosz also mentioned that Utrecht tends to perform better against top teams, and that PSV must be prepared for their opponents to "bring out their best" in this match. He emphasized the importance of winning the match, saying "We must make the difference. The lost points will not be returned, but if they win, the sentiment can change."

PSV will be without injured players Jerdy Schouten and Alassane Pléa for the match, but Bosz is optimistic about the team's fitness levels, saying "Gelukkig" (luckily) that the team is relatively healthy.
