Tired group finale in Eindhoven?

All clear in Group B! Group favorites Arsenal will cross the finish line as group winners and Eindhoven are also through to the round of 16. As the two teams can no longer swap places, the clash at the Philips-Arena will be a pointless showdown – apart from the UEFA bonus for winning the European top flight

The best bookmakers attribute the slightly better odds for a PSV Eindhoven vs Arsenal bet on the three-way market to the in-form Dutch runners-up. With the Gunners, however, Bosz’s team will face a team that is in at least as good a form. That’s why the bookmakers are distributing the odds in the clash between the group winners and runners-up almost evenly:

Of course, the PSV Eindhoven vs Arsenal prediction should take into account that this game is ultimately all about the golden pineapple. Due to the insignificance of the game in terms of qualifying for the round of 16, rotation on both sides is very likely. Both teams are unlikely to field their best line-ups and will give some of their regular players a rest

PSV Eindhoven – statistics & current form

Things couldn’t be going better for Peter Bosz’s team at the moment. Eindhoven are in first place in the domestic Eredivisie with 15 wins from 15 games. An amazing record! Even more astonishing than their domestic performances is the fact that PSV are playing a significant role in the European top flight and are already in the last 16 before the last group matchday.

For years, the Dutch club played no role at the highest European level. The Dutch league leaders had gone 17 games without a win in the Champions League before they broke the deadlock with a victory against Lens on the penultimate matchday. With their first win in the European premier class since 2015, Bosz’s team seem to have tasted blood. The win against Lens was immediately followed by another victory in the European competition against Sevilla – even turning around a 2-0 deficit away from home

Does Eindhoven remain unbeaten at home?

The PSV Eindhoven vs Arsenal odds point slightly in favor of the home team. We agree with this assessment, Eindhoven are still unbeaten at home in all competitions this season. While the “Rood-witten” have won all their home games in the Eredivisie, they have one win and one draw in the Premier League so far.

That’s why our prediction for PSV Eindhoven against Arsenal is that the Dutch league leaders will not lose the game. This prediction also makes sense statistically, as Eindhoven have only lost one of their four home games against the Gunners in the European Cup. Bosz’s side also triumphed against the English side in the Europa League at the Phillips Arena last season.

PSV Eindhoven’s expected line-up:

Arsenal – Statistics & current form

The Gunners are currently doing just as well as their upcoming opponents. Arsenal are in second place in the strongest national league in the world and the Gunners have also clearly dominated their group in the top flight with four wins and a goal difference of 15:3. Nevertheless, the bookies have the English side as slight underdogs in their PSV Eindhoven v Arsenal odds.

The Gunners’ only slip-up in the Champions League also came away at Lens. And the Dutch side, who are strong at home, can certainly expect at least a point against the expected B team from England. Eindhoven already won the Europa League clash against the Gunners last season

How much are Arsenal still investing?

Another defeat in the Philips Arena would not matter, as Arsenal are already group winners. Coach Arteta is therefore likely to rest a number of regular players for the upcoming league fixtures and give other players from the second tier some game time. We therefore refrain from predicting an away win for PSV Eindhoven against Arsenal. Because it won’t be as easy as the clear home win against PSV at the Philips-Arena.

After Eindhoven played their league game against Heerenveen last Thursday, the hosts will also be more rested. Arsenal still had to play a tough away game at Aston Villa on Saturday evening, which the Arteta side lost 1-0 – their first defeat in the league after four wins in a row.

Holland has also never been a good place for the Gunners in recent years. The Gunners’ last win in the Netherlands came at Ajax in 2005 – since then there has been one draw and two defeats on Dutch soil.

Predicted Arsenal line-up:

PSV Eindhoven – Arsenal head-to-head comparison / H2H result

The two teams have faced each other a total of nine times. The Gunners lead the overall record with four wins. Eindhoven have won two games and shared the points three times. While the Gunners are still unbeaten at home against PSV, trips to the Phillips Stadium have so far been less successful. Mikel Arteta’s side have won just one of their four games in Eindhoven.

The two teams already faced each other in the previous Europa League season, with each team winning their home game. Arsenal also won their home game against the Dutch runners-up in this year’s group stage. Should Eindhoven manage to get revenge in the second leg, high odds can be found in the betting apps for a home win for PSV Eindhoven against Arsenal

PSV Eindhoven – Arsenal betting tip

The best bookmakers are predicting an evenly-matched game at the Philipps Arena in their PSV Eindhoven vs Arsenal predictions. This is because two of the most in-form teams in Europe will face each other next Tuesday. It goes without saying that Arsenal have to prove themselves at a much higher level than Eindhoven at national level and also dominated the first meeting between the two teams – but Eindhoven are anything but without a chance with home advantage behind them.

Not only are the Dutch runners-up still unbeaten at the Philips Arena this season, but the upcoming opponents can be expected to rotate due to the fact that they have already won their group. In this respect, the predictions of bookies such as Bet365 on the three-way market appear to be accurate. However, we do not agree with the prediction of a high-scoring game like the first leg

Because in addition to the strong offensive lines of both teams, both Eindhoven and Arsenal are convincing in the defensive area. The Gunners have only conceded three goals so far in the group stage and Eindhoven keeper Benitez has only had to make one save in their two European home games. Moreover, only one team has scored in each of the last three meetings.

Will this break Arsenal’s mega streak of 22 CL games in a row with at least one goal of their own? You shouldn’t rule out this PSV Eindhoven vs Arsenal betting tip next Tuesday. In any case, there is value in the odds – because the expected rotation could inhibit the flow of the game of the two offensively strong teams
