PSV take on the visitors Tottenham Hotspur at the Philps Stadion in the Round 3 of the UEFA Champions League Group B. The match will be played in Eindhoven on Wednesday, October 24th.
PSV have been looking pretty solid in the offense recently. Such players for them as Steven Bergwijn, Luuk de Jong and Hirving Lozano could easily score some goals in their upcoming fixture against Internazionale on Wednesday. However, the Boeren have scored only one goal so far this UEFA Champions League Group B. In the Round 1 of the tournament they lost to Barcelona with a 0-4 score on the away field. In the Round 2 the team of Mark van Bommel lost to Internazionale with a 1-2 score in front of their home crowd. Interestingly, in their last five home fixtures the Dutch scored twenty goals overall despite of them scoring only one goal against Internazionale in the Round 2. Thereby it will be quite comfortable for the Lampen to play against Tottenham Hotspur who have a typical English playing style. However, the hosting side is unlikely to keep their goal safe on Wednesday. Their upcoming opponent from England has a pretty strong offensive line which is levels above the ones that middle Dutch football teams in the Eredivisie possess for example. In their last three matches overall PSV beat Emmen with a 6-0 score, Venlo with a 4-0 score and lost to Internazionale with a 1-2 score in their UEFA Champions League Group B. In the 1/32-finals fixture of the KNVB Beker the Rood-Witten beat Excelsior Maassluis with a 4-0 score.

In their two starting matches of the UEFA Champions League Group F Tottenham Hotspur lost both of them. In the Round 1 of the tournament they lost to Internazionale with a 1-2 score on the away field. In the Round 2 the Spurs lost to Barcelona with a 2-4 score in front of their home crowd. The overall amount of conceded goals in those games was pretty bad for the English. Now the team of Mauricio Pochettino will put all of their effort into winning their upcoming Round 3 fixture against PSV. Any other result than victory will be considered a failure for them. There are a lot of high skilled players in the squad of the Lilywhites to win the match. For example, Harry Kane and the guys alongside him in the offensive line of the Spurs are likely to score at least two goals on Wednesday. On the other hand, the defense of the Lilywhites is not that great, it will be hard for them to play against a quick offensive line of the Lampen. In their last three matches Tottenham Hotspur beat West Ham United with a 1-0 score, Cardiff City with the same 1-0 score and lost to Barcelona with a 2-4 score in their UEFA Champions League Group B fixture. In the 1/16-finals fixture of the Carabao Cup the team of Mauricio Pochettino beat Watford in a penalty shootout.
In seven of their last ten away fixtures Tottenham Hotspur scored at least one goal and conceded at least one goal too. Now both the Boeren and the Spurs need to get some points in the group desperately, both of the teams will be super motivated for Wednesday. It is likely that both teams will score in the Round 3 match of the UEFA Champions League Group B between them.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
