PSV Eindhoven looking to take control at the top
PSV started off their UEL group stage with a home draw against Real Sociedad. In fact, the Red and Whites had to come from behind to earn that point in a match that they dominated in terms of possession. Moreover, Roger Schmidt’s team chased the three points with 56 dangerous attacks in the second half but they produced just one goal.
It was easier in the second matchday, however, in Graz as PSV overcame Sturm by 4-1. At the Phillips Stadion, Schmidt’s side won their last two matches in the Eredivisie. And that could be very important for PSV as they aim to beat Monaco and take control at the top of the group. Especially noting that Sociedad will play Graz and a win will raise their tally to five points.
AS Monaco will be happy with a point
Monaco lost to PSV the last time they met in the Champions League back in 2005. The Dutch side won 3-0 on aggregate then. However, the Monegasque’s away record is not encouraging recently as they won just two of their last seven road trips. Moreover, Niko Kovac’s team conceded in all of those matches with an average of over one goal per game.
Surely Niko Kovac will be happy with a point from Eindhoven considering they host PSV at home in the next round. Consequently, if Monaco grab four points from those two matches, they will be at the forefront of a three-way battle to finish in the top two. Kovac’s only concern however will be his defense which didn’t have any clean sheets in the last five away games.
PSV Eindhoven vs AS Monaco Prediction
According to the bookies, PSV are the favorites to win and are paying a generous 2.23 for a victory. That can be a big possibility considering the Dutch side won ten of their last 15 matches.
In addition, Schmidt’s side is unbeaten in ten of their last 15 Europa League games. Also, we must note the scoring form of PSV with nine goals in their last three games.
Notably, there is a big chance of both teams scoring with 70% of PSV’s and 83% of Monaco’s recent games seeing BTTS happen.
In conclusion, and with the high odds on offer for this match by the bookies, we will back a double chance outcome. Additionally, both teams to score combined with a home win seems a possible choice.
