Arsenal vs. PSV Eindhoven Prediction

• Where: Emirates Stadium, London, England
• When: Thursday, October 20, 9 pm local time

Arsenal and PSV Eindhoven will play their UEFA Europa League clash this Thursday night. The leg between the English and the Dutch teams was previously postponed due to Queen Elizabeth’s death, and the European house of football rescheduled it for October 20th. For the moment, the two units are occupying the top two spots in their assembly, having a game in hand over the other rivals as well. Arsenal collected nine points in three events, while PSV has two fewer.

Arsenal vs. PSV Eindhoven Preview

Arsenal 

The hosts won the previous seven games, and are in one hell of a shape. Mikel Arteta’s crew is sitting first in the EPL, despite all the expectations, and their only failure this year was in Manchester once United managed to rout the Gunners, 3-1. 

Three of the past four wins were with clean sheets, which is a big boost for Arsenal’s defensive line. Despite having a pretty tough schedule, which saw them often playing three games in seven days, the Gunners’ back line has exceeded the expectations for the moment.

Arsenal played six home games this year, winning all of them and scoring 17 goals throughout that period. Gabriel Jesus and the boys up front have been lethal for any of the rivals, and the way this unit plays, it appears that there is plenty of room for improvement.

PSV 

The team from Eindhoven caught the positive rhythm, winning the past four games and suffering one loss in the previous eight events. The Dutch powerhouse showed signs of inconsistency during one short period, but in the end, they bounced back and got back on track.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy prefers his team to play open and offensive-minded football, and one of the best strikers of his era demands high intensity each time PSV hits the pitch. They scored 11 goals in the past two games, and 17 over the recent four.

In nine outings this year, over 2.5 goals took place on seven, and both teams scored in the same number of events.

Arsenal versus PSV Eindhoven Head to Head
