Borussia Dortmund vs PSV Eindhoven. Shape of the Teams

On Wednesday, Dortmund will host PSV Eindhoven in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16. Their initial encounter saw Borussia draw first blood but ultimately settle for a 1-1 draw, thanks to a penalty from Luuk de Jong.

Fast-forward three weeks, and Dortmund is playing against the Dutch team on their own turf. While PSV is convincingly leading the Eredivisie, this clash will be a different kind of challenge. PSV is 10 points clear of their nearest rivals, Feyenoord, and is only a step away from clinching the title in the Dutch Eredivisie.

None of the teams are currently facing serious injury issues. Sebastian Haller will be sidelined due to an ankle injury, while Nico Schlotterbeck is suspended.

Due to injuries, PSV will lack the talents of Noa Lang and Ismael Saibari, but Joey Veerman’s return to full fitness brings a silver lining. His comeback is timely, especially since he was acclaimed as the Champions League’s player of the week following PSV’s initial encounter with Dortmund. Veerman’s presence could positively impact PSV’s performance in this crucial match.

Borussia Dortmund vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction, Odds

Pick: Dortmund to Win
Odds: +112 (Tonybet)

PSV has conceded 16 goals in 11 Champions League matches, including the qualifiers, and 13 in 25 rounds in the Eredivisie. However, due to the variance in opponent calibre, the results of the domestic championship may not fully reflect the challenge they face in the Champions League.

Peter Bosz’s team won only two of seven matches in the Champions League, with their sole away win coming against Sevilla. At the same time, we can remember the away defeat against Arsenal (0-4) and a hard-fought draw with Lens (1-1).

Dortmund, on the other hand, has found its rhythm in 2024. They boast an impressive run of six wins, three draws, and only one defeat. What is important is that, unlike their opponent PSV in the 1/8, they have demonstrated powerful results.

In the Champions League group stage, Dortmund claimed first place alongside PSG, Milan and Newcastle in what was known as the ‘group of death.’ BVB suffered their only loss against PSG in an away game at the Parc des Princes.

I think that considering their rich history in this competition and the formidable atmosphere of Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund is well-positioned to clinch a win in regular time against this PSV.

Pick: Dortmund total over 1.5
Odds: -130 (Tonybet)

PSV’s defensive struggles in the Champions League are evident. The Dutch team managed to keep a clean sheet in only one of their 11 matches, resulting in an average concession rate of 1.45 goals per game. If we look at away matches in the Champions League, PSV concedes even more goals – exactly two on average.

Peter Bosz and PSV are hoping Luuk de Jong, the seasoned striker with stints at Sevilla and Barcelona, will have an impactful game. With an impressive tally of 31 goals and 14 assists across all competitions this year, de Jong has been instrumental for PSV.

He netted the crucial equalizer in the first leg against Dortmund and will be eager to lead his team into the quarter-finals – a milestone PSV hasn’t reached in over a decade.

On the other side, Edin Terzic will try to take advantage of PSV’s defensive problems by dialling up the pressure on their weak spots. Moreover, Borussia’s attacking force is performing well.

They average 1.75 goals per game at home during the 2023/2024 season, with their Champions League outings yielding an average of 1.14 goals per game. This leads me to believe they will net at least two goals in this match.

The iconic atmosphere of Signal Iduna Park and the legendary Yellow Wall speak in favour of Edin Terzic’s team. The stadium’s vibrant energy and fans’ fervent support have historically amplified Dortmund’s prowess.

Having navigated the ‘group of death’ in this season’s campaign, Marco Reus and his teammates will do everything they can to advance to the next round.
