LOOKING FOR VICTORY IN RETURN TO GROUP STAGE ACTION

03/10/2023

We are set for our second Champions League group game of the campaign. PSV, still unbeaten in domestic competition this season, were beaten 0-4 by Arsenal in London in their opener.

Preview

Sevilla FC play PSV Eindhoven in the second game of the Champions League group stages at the PSV Stadion at 21:00 CEST. The two sides face off just 8 months after their last meeting, the second leg of their UEFA Europa League play-off tie, also in Eindhoven.

Squad news

José Luis Mendilibar has travelled with the following 23-man squad to the Netherlands, with Óliver Torres and En-Nesyri returning while Lamela drops out: Nyland, Dmitrovic, Jesús Navas, Badé, Gattoni, Gudelj, Sergio Ramos, Acuña, Pedrosa, Fernando, Soumaré, Jordán, Sow, Rakitic, Suso, Óliver Torres, Ocampos, Lukebakio, Rafa Mir, En-Nesyri, Mariano, Alberto Flores and Juanlu.

Opposition form

The home team recorded a 4-0 loss in their first group game against Arsenal FC in London. However, the Dutch sit top of their domestic league after 7 wins from 7 and having scored 23 goals with just 2 conceded.

Qualification

Peter Bosz's team reached the group stages after successfully navigating two mandatory play-off rounds given Feyenoord won the Dutch league title last season. PSV Eindhoven first eliminated Austrian side Sturm Graz before overcoming Glasgow Rangers of Scotland.

Officiating

Daniele Orsato will take charge of the match after also overseeing the Europa League meeting between the two sides in February earlier this year.
