After a tough weekend with their fourth straight winless game, PSV is eager to shift gears and focus on the UEFA Champions League round of 16, having just knocked out Juventus. They’re up against Arsenal for the third season in a row, and interestingly, PSV hasn’t made it past the last 16 since they eliminated the Gunners back in 2006/07.
PSV isn’t one to back down, especially after their thrilling 3-2 comeback against Liverpool in Eindhoven earlier this season. They have a solid home record against English teams, and they’re riding high on an unbeaten streak in their last nine UCL home games, with their last loss dating back to 2018/19.
In their previous encounter, Arsenal scored first in a 1-1 draw, but the London team will need to step up, especially since they’ve struggled to find the net in three of their last four matches. This has left them 13 points behind in second place in the Premier League and out of the EFL Cup, so their best shot at silverware is in this competition.
The round of 16 might make some fans nervous, given that Arsenal has crashed out at this stage in seven of the last eight UCL campaigns. But hey, they’re on the brink of five straight UCL wins for the first time since their 2005/06 final run. Still, it won’t be easy, as they have a low 30% win rate against Dutch teams away from home.
