PSV – Latest Team News & Statistics
October can be described as a real rollercoaster for PSV so far. On the first day of the month, Ruud van Nistelrooij’s team lost in painful fashion to Cambuur Leeuwarden (3-0), after which FC Zurich (twice) and FC Utrecht were actually beaten by large numbers. In those three games, PSV scored no less than 16 times and only conceded two goals.
All the more surprising was the defeat against FC Groningen last weekend. Just before half-time, things went completely wrong for the Brabanders. Goalkeeper Walter Benítez had to fish three times in seven minutes, after which PSV could not repair the damage (4-2). As a result, it is now four points behind leaders Ajax.

PSV could not follow up their monster wins in the Europa League either. Arsenal were a size too big in London, although the score was not too bad: 1-0. The Eindhoven players are now three points ahead of Bodø/Glimt, against whom they play in round six. With a full sickbay, it is still uncertain who Van Nistelrooij can count on in that decisive phase. In any case, star players Luuk de Jong and Noni Madueke returned to the pitch against FC Groningen.
Arsenal – Latest Team News & Statistics
Arsenal is flawless in the Europa League so far, with 12 points from four games. It only suffered a counter goal in the first round of play, away at FC Zurich (1-2). On the other hand, the Londoners have only scored seven goals in a European context. Arsenal is almost certain of group victory: only two defeats could spoil it, provided PSV win the remaining two games.
In the Premier League, Arsenal is still the proud leader, despite last Sunday’s point loss. At home to Southampton, Mikel Arteta’s side failed to go beyond 1-1, leaving the difference with Manchester City just two points. Three days after the meeting with PSV, Nottingham Forest awaits, who won handsomely against Liverpool last weekend.
Who will be on the match sheet on behalf of Arsenal against PSV is still partly uncertain. For instance, key players like Gabriel Martinelli and Oleksandr Zinchenko are not fully fit. For Emile Smith-Rowe, Thursday comes too soon anyway. The midfielder, good for ten Premier League goals last season, underwent groin surgery three weeks ago.
PSV – Arsenal Previous encounters
As mentioned, PSV and Arsenal last met last week. At the Emirates Stadium, Granit Xhaka broke the spell twenty minutes before time. That was all for PSV, which did not really make a fist against England’s leaders. The previous meetings are still etched in the memory of many Dutch football fans. In the 2006/07 season, Eindhoven reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League at the expense of The Gunners. In the away match, Edison Méndez gave PSV victory, which then held on handsomely in London (1-1).
PSV – Arsenal Odds
PSV – Arsenal Top Betting Tip
In our opinion, the duel between PSV and Arsenal is difficult to predict. On paper, the visitors have the strongest squad, but who will draft Arteta? Overwinter Arsenal will gradually start focusing on the national league, which is generally considered more important than the Europa League. PSV desperately need the points to keep sight of the knockout phase and will be taunted after the defeat against FC Groningen. With players like Cody Gakpo and Xavi Simons, Van Nistelrooij also has plenty of attacking power. We therefore predict that the Brabanders will score in the first half against Arsenal, which will already drift towards the upcoming game with Nottingham Forest. This bet will yield almost twice your stake at bookmaker Unibet.
