We’re getting down to the nitty gritty in the UEFA Champions League as we approach the final matchday for this year’s competition. All 32 clubs involved know what is at stake over the course of the next 90 minutes, with some being in control of their own destiny and others needing a favour. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be a fun clash between PSV Eindhoven and Arsenal.
PSV Form GuidePSV Eindhoven are attempting to establish themselves as the big dogs in Dutch football once again but as we know, that’s going to be easier said than done. They are on the verge of qualifying for the knockouts which would serve as a huge statement for them, but in order to get their fans feeling extra confident, they need to give the Gunners a real run for their money.
PSV have come a long way since getting beaten 4-0 by Arsenal in their opener. They went on to draw 2-2 with Sevilla and 1-1 with Lens, before rattling off critical yet narrow wins over Lens and Sevilla in the reverse fixtures to put themselves in a great position.
Arsenal Form GuideArsenal Football Club are back in the big time and up to this point, they’ve done a pretty good job of proving that they belong. Mikel Arteta has worked incredibly hard to get them back to this point and even though they still have a long way to go, it’s exciting to consider what the future could hold. Who knows, maybe this is just the first chapter in something very special.
After defeating PSV 4-0, Arsenal went down 2-1 to Lens before bouncing back with a nice 2-1 win over Sevilla. From there, they beat Sevilla a second time at the Emirates, before absolutely dominating Lens 6-0 in the kind of performance that made them look like real contenders.
Match PredictionArsenal are a force to be reckoned with but they’ve already qualified, whereas the hosts are the ones who need to make a statement. There’s going to be quite the atmosphere in that stadium, and we think it’ll lead us down the path of a memorable yet narrow PSV win.
