Overview
PSV are in impressive form in the Dutch national championship this season (Eredivisie). Up to now, they have won all 9 rounds. In which, PSV scored 29 goals and only conceded 6.
However, PSV's performance in the Champions League this year has not been really good, with only 1 point thanks to a draw against Sporting right at home. Before that, they had to accept a 1-3 defeat against Juventus.
Meanwhile, except for the defeat against Arsenal in the second round of the Champions League, PSG is still playing well in the 2024-2025 season. The first victory against Girona still ensures PSG gets 3 points and aims to pass the group stage.
With an unbeaten record in Ligue 1 and a 4-2 victory over Strasbourg, PSG is confident and mentally ready to enter the third round of the Champions League. PSV is not an easy opponent, but PSG will have home advantage.
Bradley Barcola has been in fine form for PSG since Kylian Mbappe left. He has scored seven goals in 10 appearances in all competitions. The 22-year-old is expected to continue his scoring streak against PSV.
Meanwhile, Johan Bakayoko is PSV's outstanding winger with 2 goals this season. The Belgian player will be a threat to PSG's defense in this match.
The two teams have never faced each other before. However, PSV have played 38 times against opponents from France with 11 wins, 11 losses and 16 draws.
