Your Web 3 Guru and Moonbet presenting todays match: PSV Eindhoven – Borussia Dortmund
Following a runner-up finish in Group B, PSV Eindhoven eagerly anticipates their first UEFA Champions League knockout stage since 2015/16, marking only their second appearance in the last 17 campaigns. Brimming with confidence, having won three of their last four matches (D1) to top the Eredivisie, PSV prepares for the first leg against Borussia Dortmund.
The roaring crowd at the Philips Stadion will spur PSV on as favorites, fueled by their impressive home record, having lost just one of their last 11 European home games (W7, D3). Seeking revenge against Dortmund, whom they’ve struggled against in their only two prior encounters, PSV aims to capitalize on their momentum to overturn their negative record in 37 ties against German sides (W10, D7, L20).
Borussia Dortmund
For Dortmund, past encounters with PSV have somewhat improved their otherwise modest record against Dutch teams, with just three wins in 11 meetings (D3, L5). Manager Edin Terzić must remind his team of their transformation after topping a tough group featuring PSG, AC Milan, and Newcastle United.
Despite securing their spot in the Round of 16 for the fifth time in six seasons, Dortmund faces the daunting statistic of three eliminations in their last four ties at this stage. However, they were victorious in two of their three away group stage matches this season (L1), a noteworthy achievement considering their historical struggles in European away matches, losing 16 of their last 32 (W10, D6).
Hot Stats
Players to watch: PSV captain Luuk de Jong has been outstanding in Eindhoven, with seven of his last eight goals scored at home, including one in a 2-0 win over Heracles last weekend. Dortmund’s striker Niclas Füllkrug also found the net in a 1-1 draw against Wolfsburg last weekend, marking his fourth goal in his last five competitive outings.
Hot stat: Dortmund has won just two of their eight away matches in the Champions League Round of 16 (D1, L5).
