Arsenal to Edge Past PSV in Eindhoven?

PSV Eindhoven finished 14^th in the league phase, booking their place in the play-offs. The Dutch side went up against Juventus in the play-off round, losing the first leg in Turin. However, Peter Bosz’s boys pulled off a stunning result in leg two to go through to the last 16.

Finishing in the top eight and sealing automatic qualification to the Round of 16 was Arsenal’s priority, and the Premier League giants passed the test with flying colours. The Londoners finished third after six wins from eight league-phase fixtures.

PSV’s form ahead of this huge European match has been poor. The Eredivisie champions have lost back-to-back games against Go Ahead Eagles, and the victory over Juve is their only success in six.

Arsenal have won just one of their last four league and cup games. Last time out, Mikel Arteta’s men drew 0-0 with Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, slipping 13 points behind leaders Liverpool.

The two clubs met in the Champions League group stage two years ago. Arsenal won 4-0 at the Emirates Stadium, with Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus, and Martin Odegaard on target.

The last meeting at Philips Stadion finished in a 1-1 stalemate. Eddie Nketiah gave the Gunners a half-time lead, but the Dutch team levelled five minutes into the second half. This will be the 11^th Champions League meeting between the sides.

PSV Eindhoven vs Arsenal Betting Tips & Predictions

Arsenal are out of both domestic cups and are unlikely to win the Premier League, so the Champions League is their best chance of silverware this season. PSV will be no pushovers, but Arteta’s troops should get the job done.

This may be a low-scoring affair, so take a punt on the away win and under 2.5 goals at 4.20. Arsenal to score the first goal is worth backing at 1.69.
