PSV Team News
The PSV team was in the race for the Dutch champion until the last round last season, but Ajax who ended the season with only two points more than PSV, prevailed. In this season, they have brought in several top players: El-Ghazi, Branthwaite, Luuk de Jong, Guus Til and the proven goalkeeper Walter Benitez.
These players have a huge role in the team’s games this season, and except them, the team have expanded the roster with several young players such as Savio, Hoever and Simons who are normally looking for their chance from the reserve players bench. Of course, PSV’s expectations for this season are huge due to a large number of reinforcements.
Hence, being knocked out in the Champions League qualifiers by Rangers was completely unexpected and disappointing. Although they failed in that double match, they did not take advantage of several goal opportunities, and following the matches with Rangers, the PSV team played at a higher level and recorded great results.
They are currently at 24 points won after 11 games in the Eredivisie League where they are the most efficient team with 37 goals scored along with the Ajax team. In the Europa League, they collected seven points and scored as many as 11 goals in four games played.
Regardless of PSV’s defeat the previous week by Arsenal and in the domestic championship against Groningen, they certainly have a great attacking zone and will create several goal opportunities today. How dangerous their attacking zone is best shown by the 48 goals scored in 15 games this season.
Arsenal Team News
The Arsenal team has been playing at a really high level since Arteta’s arrival on the bench. In the previous season, they played excellent football and were among the four best teams of the English Premier League for a long time, but after a slightly poor end of the season, they were left without participation in the Champions League.
Last season it was clear that Arsenal could finish among the four best teams in England and that they would be competitive in the Champions League, but few expected that after 11 games they would be the first team in the Premier League. In addition to the fantastic games in the Premier League and in the Europa League, they have usually played at a high level and after four games, they have recorded the same number of victories and are currently the first-placed team in the group.
Arsenal showed their weaknesses for the first time this season in the weekend meeting with Southampton. They managed first half brilliantly, but in the second they allowed a large number of scoring chances to the opponents, therefore, conceded a goal and consequently, they can even be satisfied with one point.
Apart from the fact that the last line is in a slight decline, Arsenal is already within reach of the round of 16 of the Europa League and it is clear that they will perform in a combined lineup today.
H2H
- These teams played last week at the Emirates, which was the first meeting between these two since 2007. The match was won by Arsenal 1-0.
PSV vs. Arsenal Prediction
Succeeding a fantastic start to the season, both Arsenal and PSV did not performe at their highest level last week. The Arsenal team will certainly play in a combined team today, and one point would be satisfactory today. Accordingly, betting on them would not be profitable. Both teams have fantastic attacking zones and last week they showed weaknesses in the last line, thus betting on goals is the best option in this match.
