PSV Eindhoven

Form: WWWWW

PSV Eindhoven might be bitterly disappointed with their performance against Sporting CP at the Philips Stadion on Tuesday during match day two of the UCL league phase. The Farmers took an early lead but still had to settle for a 1-1 draw, denying them their first win of this competition. 

A return to league action should provide them with the much-needed boost to return winning ways and reignite their confidence. Peter Bosz's side has maintained a 100% record in the Eredivisie, winning each of their last seven matches to sit five points clear at the summit. Their most recent match was a 2-0 away win against William II.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Benitez; Junior, Flamingo, Boscagli, Dams; Schouten, Til, Saibari; Tillman, De Jong, Bakayoko

Sparta Rotterdam

Form: DWLWD

Sparta Rotterdam are well aware of the daunting task ahead as they try to get back to winning ways following a disappointing 1-1 draw against Fortuna Sittard at Sparta Stadion. The Castle Lords have won just two of their last seven games and could find it challenging to secure a favorable outcome.

Despite an indifferent start to the current season, Rotterdam occupies a modest 7th place in the league standings and is four points behind the final European football spot.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Olij; Reith, Quintero, Eerdhuijzen, Van der Kust; Clement, Kitolano, Verschueren; Neghli, Nassoh, Lauritsen
