PSV:
Needing to deal with the absence of Hirving Lozano, since the Mexican player received his third yellow card in the last round and will serve an automatic suspension in this decisive round, the PSV team arrives motivated by having eight consecutive victories in the season, but does not expect to have easy life compared to the English.
In the last round, the Dutch team faced Sevilla in Spanish territory and showed all the quality of their squad by winning 3-2, coming from behind, to seal their place in the round of 16 of the tournament.
This is because the PSV team is currently in second place on the Group B leaderboard, with 8 points achieved so far, four points behind the leader.
There were 5 consecutive victories in the last 5 officially played matches, beating Heerenveen, Feyenoord, Sevilla, Twente and also Zwolle.
Playing as home team at the Philips Stadion, the PSV team has a recent record of 8 wins, 1 draw and only 1 defeat in the last 10 games played.
Arsenal:
And on the visitors’ side there is the Arsenal team, from England, which has already guaranteed its early classification even at the top of the group, but wants the victory to boost its confidence and further improve its current campaign.
The Gunners are also fighting point by point for the lead in the Premier League, but suffered a frustrating 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa at the weekend.
In the Champions League, however, the English team ran over Lens mercilessly with a score of 6-0 in front of their fans, having the luxury of taking to the field this Tuesday just to fulfill the schedule in the competition.
In their 5 most recent official matches of the season, they beat Brentford, Lens, Wolverhampton and also Luton, in addition to losing to Aston Villa.
At the moment, the English club is in first place on the Group B leaderboard, with 12 points achieved so far, four points ahead of the group’s runner-up.
