PSG vs PSV Preview
- Tournament: Champions League
- Date: Tuesday, Oct 22
- Kick-off Time: 08:00 pm GMT
- Venue: Parc des Princes, France
French champions PSG will play host to Dutch giants PSV in their third game of the 2024/25 Champions League season at Parc des Princes. Both teams are heading into the European competition on the back of solid domestic form.
Hosts PSG are currently holding the spot in the domestic league standings and are favourites to clinch the championship once again this year. Luis Enrique’s men have won their six of their eight opening games of the campaign and should have no trouble overcoming PSV in this fixture. This match will be the first meeting between these two clubs and would want to return to winning ways after their away loss to Arsenal just before the international break.
Meanwhile, PSV sustained a 3-1 defeat to Juventus in their first Champions League game, marking their first defeat of the campaign. There will be pressure on Peter Bosz’s side who are currently leading the Eredivisie table and holds a significant lead over their domestic challengers. It wouldn’t be surprising if PSV prioritizes their Champions League games for the next few weeks.
