Sevilla vs PSV Eindhoven
UEFA Champions League, KO: 17:45 Nov 29, 2023, Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan
Sevilla are still seeking their first win in Group D of the UEFA Champions League as they host PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday. The Spanish side has been plagued by too many draws lately and having patted to a stalemate in the reverse fixture, both teams could be set to cancel each other out once again.
It has been a rough Champions League campaign for Sevilla, who are still without a win in Group D after four matches. The reigning Europa League champions may not even get the chance to defend their title as they are currently bottom of the standings and may crash out of Europe altogether.
After beginning their campaign with successive draws with PSV and Lens, Sevilla have gone on to lose their last two matches. They were beaten 2-0 by Arsenal in their previous Champions League fixture, finishing with just a single attempt on target throughout the contest.
Sevilla’s struggles are normally just limited to the Champions League as they have picked up just one win in their last 10 matches across all competitions. Diego Alonso’s men have played out six draws in that run but were beaten 2-1 by Real Sociedad in a La Liga fixture last weekend.
PSV Eindhoven have fared better than Sevilla in Group D and seem to have improved since the 4-0 defeat to Arsenal on match-day one. They played out two draws before claiming a 1-0 victory over Lens in their previous fixture.
Away from the Champions League, PSV Eindhoven have been in superb form, as they are unbeaten in 13 of their last 14 matches. Peter Bosz’s men have picked up 10 wins in that run, including a 3-0 victory at Twente in an Eredivisie clash on Saturday.
The win at Twente highlights a solid record for PSV Eindhoven on their travels as they have lost just once in their last 11 away matches across all competitions. They have picked up eight wins in that run but played out a 1-1 draw with Lens in their previous Champions League fixture on the road.
