PSV Eindhoven and Girona face off in what promises to be a thrilling Champions League encounter, with both sides aiming to secure crucial points in Group B. PSV, despite dominating domestically, have yet to claim a win in this season’s European campaign. Meanwhile, Girona, relatively new to European competitions, are eager to build on their recent success. Both teams have much to prove and will be pushing for a victory in this clash at Philips Stadion.
PSV entered this season with a record-breaking Eredivisie performance, winning 10 consecutive league matches before their recent 3-2 loss to Ajax, which ended their unbeaten domestic run. Despite their domestic prowess, their Champions League journey has been less impressive. After a 3-1 opening defeat to Juventus, PSV managed two 1-1 draws, first at home against Sporting CP and then away to PSG, where they initially led thanks to Noa Lang. Peter Bosz’s side has demonstrated strong scoring capabilities in the Eredivisie, with 37 goals in 11 matches, while conceding only nine, underscoring their offensive strength. However, their Champions League home record shows just one win in their last 12 UCL games.
PSV’s Malik Tillman has been in exceptional form, scoring five goals in 11 league appearances. The talented attacker’s contributions are critical for PSV, especially in must-win situations like this. Despite their defensive solidity in the Eredivisie, PSV’s European performance has been somewhat shaky, and they’ll need to tighten up at the back if they aim to secure their first Champions League win this season.
Girona, entering their maiden European campaign, come off a high following a 4-3 La Liga victory over Leganes. This win marked their fourth success in six matches, a notable improvement after a slower start to the season, where they won only two of their first ten games. Their Champions League journey began with a narrow 1-0 loss to PSG, followed by a 3-2 defeat to Feyenoord, but they secured a crucial 2-0 win over Slovan Bratislava, with wing-back Miguel Gutierrez starring as a standout player. His dynamic play has been instrumental, as he scored and created numerous chances in that match.
Led by head coach Michel, Girona are eager to make their mark in Europe, having achieved their highest-ever league finish last season in La Liga. Despite losing key players over the summer, the Catalan side has remained competitive. They’ve struggled with defense, especially against top-tier teams, but their attacking prowess, especially through Gutierrez, has kept them in contention.
PSV are expected to adopt a high-intensity, attack-driven approach, leveraging their home advantage and strong domestic form. With Tillman and Lang spearheading the attack, they will likely aim for an early lead, pressuring Girona’s defense. Girona, meanwhile, may rely on a counter-attacking strategy, looking to exploit any gaps in PSV’s backline. Gutierrez, with his ability to break forward, could be a key player in transitioning defense to attack and creating scoring chances.

Given PSV’s prolific scoring in the Eredivisie and their need for a Champions League win, a bet on PSV to win and over 2.5 goals could be favorable. With both teams struggling defensively in Europe, a “both teams to score” wager also holds value. PSV’s home advantage gives them a slight edge, making a PSV win an attractive option, though Girona’s resilience should keep the match competitive.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
