PSG vs PSV: Preview
PSG faced Arsenal in the Champions League in early October, and it was all about redemption and role reversal. Three years after Gianluigi Donnarumma’s famous penalty save against Bukayo Saka in Euro 2020, Saka got his moment in the spotlight this time, celebrating in the English capital. Bukayo Saka’s curling free kick zipped past Donnarumma and a crowd of players, finding the back of the net. Enrique’s team managed to grab a narrow 1-0 win against Girona in their opening match, and it came down to a last-minute own goal. PSG’s three points put them right in the thick of it in the UCL, sitting in 18th place.
Peter Bosz’s team kicked off their latest European journey with a 3-1 defeat on Juventus’ ground. This marks the 11th consecutive Champions League away game where they couldn’t keep a clean sheet. Only one of their last 18 away matches in the tournament has ended in a win. Two weeks later, PSV was just minutes from winning against Sporting thanks to an early goal from Jerdy Schouten. However, Daniel Braganca scored an equalizer in the last 10 minutes, leaving the Rood-Witten in 24th place, the last position that guarantees a playoff spot. Putting their Champions League troubles aside, PSV are still unbeaten in the 2024-25 Eredivisie season.
PSG Vs PSV: Team News
Randal Kolo Muani was looking to make an impact for PSG after a solid international break with France, but he missed the match against Strasbourg because of a sprained ankle. The striker has a minor issue, leaving his availability for Tuesday’s match uncertain. Goncalo Ramos is out with an ankle problem, Lucas Hernandez has a knee injury, and Presnel Kimpembe is dealing with an Achilles issue, but he has returned to team training. Key defenders Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, and Achraf Hakimi took a break last weekend after playing for their national teams, but they are expected to return to Enrique’s lineup this week.
PSV’s chances of pulling off an upset at the Parc des Princes took a big hit over the weekend. Their key midfielder, Schouten, suffered a knee injury that might keep him out for a few months. The Eredivisie champions are missing another key player in Joey Veerman, who is out with a groin injury. Sergino Dest (knee) and Hirving Lozano (muscle) are also expected to be unavailable for the match. PSV is facing a tough situation with injuries to Schouten and Veerman, leaving them low on strong midfield players. On Tuesday, we might see Malik Tillman filling Schouten’s shoes, unless Bosz decides to go with the young central midfielder Tygo Land, who is just 18 years old.
PSG vs PSV: Head-To-Head
The two teams are set to clash for the first time in an official game. PSG have faced Dutch teams three times in UEFA competitions, while the visitors have played against French teams 30 times so far. The hosts have not lost in their last three matches against Dutch teams, securing two victories.
PSG vs PSV: Possible Starting Lineups
PSG: Donnarumma (GK), Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Neves, Dembele, Asensio, Barcola
PSV Eindhoven: Benitez(GK), Junior, Flamingo, Boscagli, Dams Til, Saibari, Tillman, Bakayoko, De Jong, Lang
PSG vs PSV: Prediction
With Schouten and Veerman out injured, PSV face the danger of being overwhelmed in the middle of the field. Notably, Schouten has regained possession more times (23) than any other player in the current UCL campaign. We can only expect that PSG gets back on track in the Champions League, given the well-documented troubles of PSV in Europe away from home.
Our prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 PSV Eindhoven.
