PSV Eindhoven vs Arsenal Match Analysis and Prediction

2 years ago 406

Arsenal will be looking to maintain their 100% run in Group A of the Europa League when they travel to Philips Stadion to take on PSV Eindhoven in their Matchday five tie on Thursday night.

The two face off at the Emirates last week in their postponed Matchday two tie, with Arsenal claiming a comfortable 1-0 win that saw them move five points in the clear at the top of Group A.

The Gunners need just one point to seal their place in the last 16 of the competition with still two matches to go. They are coming off a 1-1 draw against Southampton in the Premier League, but they have maintained a 100% record in the Europa League which they will want to keep on Thursday.

PSV sit second in Group A on seven points from four games, three points above third-placed Bodo/Glimt and five points off the summit. With two games remaining to go, the Dutch outfits can still challenge for the top place finish, but they need to overcome the Gunners in this fixture and hope that they can drop points again on the final day.

They will be keen to revenge on Arsenal following that 1-0 defeat last week, but the confidence is a bit low in the home camp as they are coming off a 4-2 loss at Groningen in Eredivisie last Sunday.

PSV vs Arsenal head to head

Both sides have met in six encounters since 2002 with Arsenal claiming two victories, while PSV have claimed one victory and there have been three draws.
