PSV Eindhoven vs Arsenal Champions League Prediction Match Details
The Champions League round of 16 first leg will begin on Tuesday night with PSV set to welcome Arsenal to the Philips Stadion. Can the Gunners get a first-leg advantage over Dutch PSV?
PSV Eindhoven Preview & Form
PSV Eindhoven will come to their Champions League knockout phase on the back of a six-match winless run across all competitions, losing three games and playing three draws. Last weekend, the Dutch side was beaten 3-2 by G.A. Eagles on Saturday, with the result opening an eight-point gap between them and the leader, Ajax. However, it is worth mentioning that each of PSV’s last six consecutive matches has produced both teams scoring over 2.5 goals. They also suffered another 2-1 defeat against G.A. Eagles in the semi-finals of the KNVB Cup in their midweek clash. Peter Bosz’s men made it to this stage of the Champions League by eliminating Italian side Juventus in the knockout play-offs after winning 4-3 on aggregate and this would boost their confidence in the Champions League.
Arsenal Preview & Form
Arsenal will come into the Champions League round of 16 in great desperation to end their winless run streak in the league, as the Gunners have now only won just once in the last four matches across all competitions. Mikel Arteta’s side, after being beaten by West Ham to end a 15-game unbeaten run in the Premier League, were held to a goalless draw against Nottingham Forest at City Ground. The Gunners are already left out of the EFL Carabao Cup and are now 13 points adrift in second place, and their only realistic chance of winning silverware will be the Champions League. They made it to the knockout phase by finishing third in the league phase with 19 points.
