PSV Zürich betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 2^nd position, with 4 points won, after 1 win and 1 draw. In the penultimate round, they have tied a home match against Bodø / Glimt by (1‑1). In the last round, they have won an away match against Zürich by (1‑5). In their last match, for the Eredivisie, they got an away win against SC Heerenveen by (0‑1). In the last 10 home matches PSV has won 7, tied 1 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 31 of the last 34 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 25 out of 34 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

PSV come into this match motivated after a 1-0 win away to Heerenveen in the Dutch league. In their last Europa League match, the home side beat Zurich 1x5. The home team is expected to play with a 4-3-3 tactical system, to take advantage of progression up the pitch through short passes. However, PSV are expected to adopt a more attacking approach, considering they have a higher quality squad. In this tactical design, the three most forward men should be: Cody Gakpo, Yorbe Vertessen and Ismael Saibari. Coach Ruud van Nistelrooy will be without Luuk de Jong, Mauro Junior, Marco van Ginkel, Olivier Boscagli and Noni Madueke, all with fitness problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Walter Benítez, A. Obispo, André Ramalho, Phillipp Mwene, Joey Veerman, Guus Til, Ibrahim Sangaré, Xavi Simons, Érick Gabriel Gutiérrez Galaviz, C. Gakpo, Hany Abdallah.
Coach: P. Bosz.
