PSV's Home Fortress: Can They Stop Atletico's Woes?
9 Dec
Summary
- PSV boasts a five-game winning streak across all competitions.
- Atletico Madrid has lost their last two matches on the road.
- Key players are sidelined for both PSV and Atletico Madrid.
PSV Eindhoven enters their UEFA Champions League fixture against Atletico Madrid at Philips Stadium in formidable form. The Dutch side is undefeated in all competitions since September, carrying a five-game winning streak into this crucial encounter. Their recent Eredivisie victory over Heerenveen, with two quick first-half goals, highlights their attacking prowess.
Conversely, Atletico Madrid has experienced a dip in performance, succumbing to two recent defeats. Their away record in the Champions League this season has also been a concern, with losses in both previous away fixtures. This includes recent league losses to Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao, both occurring on the road.
Both teams face challenges with player availability. PSV will be without Alassane Pléa and Ruben van Bommel, while Mauro Júnior and Ivan Perisic's involvement is doubtful. Atletico Madrid is missing key players like José María Giménez, Álex Baena, and Marcos Llorente. PSV's strong home form and Atletico's away struggles position PSV as favorites.
