PSV

PSV are spending this season as the reigning Dutch champions. A year earlier, Eindhoven representatives won the national championship for the 25th time in the club's history, but it will be extremely difficult for them to defend the title. In the current championship they debuted very productively, winning in ten consecutive starting rounds, but then began to lose points. The Red-Whites played especially weak after the New Year break, as in the last seven rounds they won only one victory, drew four times and lost twice. They are now second in the standings, already eight points behind leading Ajax.

At the general stage of the Champions League, the Dutch have performed with mixed success. In eight rounds, they won four times, beating Girona 4:0, Shakhtar 3:2, Crvena Zvezda 3:2 and Liverpool 3:2. A couple more times they drew with Sporting and PSG - 1:1 each, while losing to Juventus and Brest - 1:3 and 0:1, respectively. With 14 points Peter Bosz's wards took the 14th place in the standings, formalizing the exit in the round of 32.

The confrontation with Juventus began for the Dutch unsuccessfully. In Turin, they suffered a defeat - 1:2, and therefore in the return battle had to play only to win. In fact, it turned out so: in Eindhoven PSV won in regulation time - 2:1, and then Ryan Flamingo scored the winning goal, which led the Red and Whites to the round of 16.

Arsenal

In the days of Arsene Wenger, Arsenal consistently finished in fourth place in the English championship. Now the Londoners have another problem - they have become eternally second, which is no less frustrating. For the last two consecutive seasons, the Red and Whites have become vice-champions, passing Manchester City ahead of them. Now the Citizens are in a slump, but Mikel Arteta's men can't take advantage of it. In the course of the championship they made too many misfires, and in the last two rounds lost to West Ham - 0:1, and also played a draw with Nottingham - 0:0, because of which, although they remain second in the standings, behind the leading Liverpool already on 13 points.

But at the Champions League stage, the English have shown themselves perfectly. Over the eight rounds, they allowed only one defeat, failing to cope with Inter Milan - 0:1, once again drew with Atalanta in Bergamo - 0:0, and in the six remaining matches beat PSG - 2:0, Shakhtar - 1:0, Sporting - 5:1, Monaco - 3:0, Dinamo Zagreb - 3:0, as well as Girona - 2:1. With 19 points, the Londoners took the final third place in the composite standings, going directly to the round of 16.

Expert Betting Tips

PSV and Arsenal are having a pretty good season. They are in second place in their national championships, and have already reached the round of 16 of the Champions League. And yet both teams have been playing mediocre lately. The team from Eindhoven can not win in regulation time in six matches in all tournaments, and the Londoners have only one victory in the last four battles, and that was over Leicester - the penultimate team in the EPL. Still, the favorites in the upcoming confrontation are the wards of Mikel Arteta, who have a better selection of players, despite the big personnel losses. As a result, we can bet on Arsenal's victory.
