PSV Eindhoven vs Girona

, KO: 18:45 Nov 5, 2024, Philips Stadion
Girona

PSV Eindhoven are seeking their first win in this year’s UEFA Champions League as they host Girona on Tuesday. The Dutch side will be counting on a fine home record and should have the upper hand over their Spanish visitors, who have found things difficult on their travels.

PSV Eindhoven are still without a Champions League win after three matches and played out a 1-1 draw with PSG in their previous fixture. They will also head into Tuesday’s clash off the back of a 3-2 defeat to Ajax in the Eredivisie last weekend.

The good news for PSV Eindhoven is that they are yet to taste defeat at home this season. Peter Bosz’s men have won five of their last six matches at Philips Stadion, including a 6-0 victory over PEC Zwolle in their previous fixture in front of their fans.

Girona claimed their first ever Champions League win last time out as they triumphed 2-0 over Slovan Bratislava. Michel Sanchez’s men have since gone on to win three of their last four matches across all competitions, including a 4-3 La Liga victory over Leganes last weekend.

While things appear smooth for Girona lately, much of those matches have been played at home. They have picked up just two away wins this season and head into Tuesday’s clash winless in four of their last five matches on the road.

How the bookies view it: Bookies backing PSV

PSV Eindhoven are considered overwhelming favourites among the bookies, with a home win priced at 7/10 by Betfred. A victory for Girona is valued at 18/5 by Betfred, who is also offering odds of 3/1 for a draw.

Head to head: No previous meetings

This will be the first ever meeting between PSV Eindhoven and Girona.

Players to watch: De Jong to star

Luuk de Jong is yet to find the net in the Champions League this season but already has six Eredivisie goals so far. The striker will be keen to carry that form into the competition and is priced at 11/8 to get on the score sheet on Tuesday.

Cristhian Stuani continues to defy his age and remains as influential as ever for Girona. The 38-year-old striker has four goals already this season and could be worth keeping an eye on at 13/5 with Betfred.

Probable line-ups

Matteo Dams was taken off at halftime for PSV at the weekend and is a doubt for Tuesday’s clash. Mauro Junior could come in at left back while De Jong should continue to lead the line.

Girona have a lengthy injury list with Arnaut Danjuma, Pau Lopez, Ivan Martin, Portu and Abel Ruiz all sidelined. Stuani was a second half substitute last weekend and could be handed a start on Tuesday while David Lopez should retain his place at the back.

PSV Eindhoven: Benitez, Karsdorp, Flamingo, Boscagli, Mauro Junior, Til, Tillman, Saibari, Lang, Perisic, de Jong
Girona: Gazzaniga, Blind, Lopez, Juanpe, Gutierrez, Silvi, Herrera, Martinez, van de Beek, Gil, Stuani

Anything else catch the eye?

There were over 3.5 goals in Girona’s La Liga fixture at the weekend and a repeat is priced at 6/4 with Betfred. There were second half goals for both teams in PSV’s Eredivisie fixture on Saturday and a similar pattern is priced at 15/8 by Betfred.

PSV Eindhoven scored in both halves in their previous home fixture and could be set for a repeat at 6/4 with Betfred.
