PSV Eindhoven will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing defeat to Arsenal on match-day one as they welcome Sevilla to Philips Stadion for a UEFA Champions League Group B fixture. PSV have generally been in good form lately and will be confident of seeing off their Spanish visitors, who have been woeful on their recent travels.
PSV Eindhoven made a poor start to their Champions League campaign as they were beaten 4-0 at Arsenal in their opening Group B fixture. They were second best throughout the encounter and were constantly carved open by the Premier League side.
While it was undoubtedly a disappointing result for PSV Eindovhen, manager Peter Bosz will prefer to view it as a bad day at the office. It was their first defeat across all competitions this season and they head into Tuesday’s clash off the back of a 3-2 victory over Volendam last Saturday in the Eredivisie.
That win is an extension of a superb home record for PSV Eindovhen, who have won their last six matches at Philips Stadion across all competitions. There have been some one-sided results in that run, including a 4-1 win over Sturm Graz and a 5-1 victory over Rangers during the Champions League qualifiers.
Sevilla played out a 1-1 draw with Lens in their opening Group B fixture in the Champions League. Lucas Ocampos struck an early opener that did not last too long as the French side grabbed the equaliser midway through the first half.
It has been a difficult campaign for Sevilla, who are currently in the bottom half of the La Liga table and have claimed just one win from their last nine matches across all competitions. They were beaten 1-0 by Barcelona in a La Liga fixture last Friday.
That defeat in Barcelona extends a poor away record for Sevilla as they are yet to secure a single win on the road this season. Among the recent results for Jose Luis Mendilibar’s men on their travels is a 4-3 La Liga defeat to Alaves.

PSV have the upper hand among the bookies and are priced at 20/21 by Coral to claim the win. A victory for Sevilla is valued at 3/1 with 888Sport while William Hill is offering odds of 27/10 for a draw.

Players to watch
Having had little service at Arsenal on match-day one, Luuk de Jong will be the one tasked with providing the spark in attack.

With Rafa Mir and Youssef En-Nesyri doubtful for the trip to Philips Stadion, Dodi Lukebakio will be the one to watch for Sevilla. The Belgian forward has two goals this season and is priced at 17/4 by Unibet.
