Sevilla-PSV Eindhoven is a match from the fifth day of the Champions League group stage and is played on Wednesday at 6:45 pm: TV, predictions.
Among the most uncertain and balanced groups is Group B. Yes, Arsenal has tried to take the lead but no verdict has been sanctioned yet. At the top of the standings are Mikel Arteta’s Gunners, who need only not lose to Lens to be assured of playing in the knockout stage. Behind, however, it’s a tussle: Psv Eindhoven has the same points as the French (5), while Sevilla is stuck on 2 and now seems cut off.
The Andalusians have everything at stake in the match with the Dutch: they must avoid defeat at all costs to avoid elimination. Sevilla would be out even if they draw with Psv and Lens manages (one more time) to pull off the upset in the Emirates Stadium challenge. Peter Bosz’s team, on the other hand, could pull off the pass to the round of 16 with a day to spare in the event of a win at the “Sanchez Pizjuan”: at that point it would be necessary to cheer Arsenal, who a few hours later will host the vice-champions of France. Meanwhile, Sevilla’s difficult moment continues unabated: the change in the bench – Uruguayan Diego Alonso has replaced Mendilibar – has not had the hoped-for effects, and since September the Europa League holders have only been able to beat lowly Quintanar in the King’s Cup.
Sevilla eliminated in defeat
Saturday came another defeat – 2-1 at home to Real Sociedad – after a draw in the derby with Betis (1-1). In San Sebastian, Sevilla even finished with nine men due to the expulsions in the final game of veterans Sergio Ramos and Jesus Navas.

In the standings the Andalusians occupy a bleak 15th place and there is already talk of a possible exoneration of the South American coach. Impressive instead is the march of Psv Eindhoven, still with a full score in the Eredivisie. After the very important narrow success against Lens (1-0) in the Champions League, Bosz’s men continued to win – and score in spurts – at home, scoring a total of seven goals between Zwolle and Twente without conceding any.
The Prediction
A reaction of pride from Sevilla is in order. The Andalusians are unlikely to flourish again against a team in great form like Psv but they should at least manage to avoid defeat, taking advantage of the home factor. Alternatively, you can bet on the “goals” sign: in the first leg, in Eindhoven, they saw a total of four (2-2).
The probable formations of Sevilla-PSV Eindhoven
