PSV Eindhoven and Arsenal face off on Thursday in a UEFA Europa League Group A soccer showdown at Phillips Stadion.
These two teams just faced off last Thursday, and it was Arsenal that was able to secure the 1-0 victory. Grant Xhaka scored in the 70th minute to help Arsenal pick up the three points. Even though Arsenal only had one by a goal, it was a pretty dominant victory. Arsenal had 63 percent of the possession and eight shots on target, but couldn’t get the job done. PSV had 37 percent of the possession and only one shot on target.
Arsenal comes into this game sitting in 1st place in the group having picked up 12 points. On Sunday, Arsenal faced off against Southampton, and that game ended in a 1-1 draw. Granit Xhaka scored in the 11th minute in that game, but the defense gave up a goal in the 65th minute. Arsenal had 60 percent of the possession and three shots on target. Mohamed Elneny and Emile Smith Rowe are both still dealing with injuries and won’t make the trip for this game. Oleksandr Zinchenko is dealing with a calf injury, but he could return soon, although that might not be this game.
On the other side of this matchup is PSV Eindhoven, who sits in second place in the group having picked up seven points. On Sunday, PSV faced off against Groningen, and they were defeated 4-2. They had 65 percent of the possession and 10 shots on target, but the defense had too many breakdowns and were defeated by two goals. Erick Gutierrez and Phillipp Mwene are expected to move into the starting lineup in this game, and they are going to need to have big games here. Eindhoven is going to need to find a way to get through the back line of Arsenal.
PSV Eindhoven is a strong attacking team, but they had issues getting through Arsenal’s defense in the last game, and it will be strong again here. Arsenal is also going to struggle to get through the Eindhoven defense, and this game is going to be a lower scoring. I don’t think more than a goal is scored here. Back the under to cash.
