Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: PSV to Win – 1.56
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Over 2.5 Goals – 1.60
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: PSV to Score First – 1.46
PSV to Win
PSV won five of their ten away games while Zurich won two of their previous ten home games. Thus for this game, PSV have a 50% chance of winning the game. In addition, Zurich have lost their last three home fixtures.
Over 2.5 Goals
According to the goal statistics, there is a 75% chance that this match will produce over 2.5 goals. To justify, Zurich’s nine of the last ten home games and the same number of PSV away games ended with under 2.5 goals. In the Europa League, Zurich’s both games also ended with the same number of goals.
PSV to Score First
In the Dutch League Eredivisie, PSV were able to score first in five of their eight games. Zurich on the other side conceded first in seven of their nine matches in the Swiss league and in both of their Europa League games against Bodo/Glimt and Arsenal.

FC Zurich
It is rare to find a team who was the Champions the previous season go through a rough patch as FZ Zurich are at the moment. To illustrate, FCZ are winless in seven matches losing eight of them and drawing one in all competitions.
Looking at Zurich’s statistics for the last ten matches we can see that the Swiss side have conceded more goals than scored, 1.50 goals per scored at home and 2.25 conceded. In addition, in their match against Bodo/Glimt, TCZ scored once from four shots on goal with a rate of 25% success.
PSV Eindhoven
PSV’s preparation for this game was not ideal as they suffered their worst defeat of this season away to Cambuur in the Eredivisie by 3-0. In the Champions League, PSV played one game so far and drew with Bodo/Glimt and have a game in hand with Arsenal.
Consequently, it is very important for the Dutch side to win this game if they want to finish in the top two places of the group. Playing on the road, PSV won five of their ten lastest fixtures and failed to score in only two of them. Coach Ruud van Nistelrooy needs to raise his team’s morale before Thursday night as they need to go all out for a win.
It will be interesting to see when Zurich will break their winless run. According to the bookmakers, it won’t be on Thursday as they are favoring PSV to win. We will back PSV for the win as well since they have obviously the better team.
Safe Bet
Both Teams scored in Zurich’s last seven fixtures while the same trend happened in PSV’s seven of their last ten games. With odds of 1.68 at 22Bet, we predict both teams to score in Thursday’s clash which also has a 75% possibility according to the goals stats.
Cody Gakpo is PSV’s top scorer for this season with eight goals in as many matches in the Eredivisie. Moreover, Gakpo is the author of PSV’s only goal in the Europa League in the 2022/23 season. A PSV academy graduate, Gakpo won the Dutch footballer of the year award in 2021/22 season after scoring 21 goals in 47 gaems.
