Barcelona vs PSV Prediction & Betting tips
The experts just can not agree. In the Champions League, is Group B with FC Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur, Inter Milan and PSV Eindhoven the hardest? Or is it Group C with PSG, Liverpool, SSC Naples and Red Star Belgrade? The fact is: Both four-wheeler have it in itself and who prevails in these groups, which one can trust in the end, the handlebar. In Group B, FC Barcelona is the favorite. The Catalans get to do it on the first matchday with the Dutch, who see many more than last group. In the match between Barcelona and PSV Eindhoven, the betting odds are therefore clearly in the direction of a tip on Barca.
Barcelona:
At least since last Saturday, the curse of Anoeta for FC Barcelona history. After the Blaugrana won between April 30, 2011 and November 27, 2016 none of eight away games in the Estadio Anoeta of Real Sociedad San Sebastian and even lost five of these games, it was the weekend for Barcelona now the third away win at Real Sociedad in a row. It initially looked as if the curse could reignite, because Barcelona came after twelve minutes in arrears. Only a double by Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele between the 63rd and 66th minute brought Barca on the road to victory. The 2: 1 by the ex-Dortmunder, who seems to flourish this season and his fifth goal scored his fourth goal, was then the final score. Barca keeper Marc-André ter Stegen, who showed several world-class parades, had a big share in the threesome. For Barcelona, it was at the same time the fifth won competitive game of five in this season. After winning the Supercup against Sevilla FC, the Catalans also won all four games in the first four matchdays of the new season in La Liga.
With rivals Real Madrid failing to beat Athletic Bilbao late on Saturday night, Barcelona are now the only team in La Liga to win all of Ligue 1’s previous league games. With fourteen goals scored, Barcelona have the best attack again at this early stage of the season. Alone eight goals result from the 8: 2 against promoted Huesca on penultimate match day. After Barcelona failed in the last three seasons three times in a row in the quarterfinals of the premier class, it should this time again the trophy. Especially painful and still remembered is the end of last season, when Barca lost the return leg in the Eternal City with a 4: 1 at home against AS Roma 0: 3. In the match between Barcelona and PSV Eindhoven there are hardly any significant odds for a tip on the Blaugrana.
PSV Eindhoven:
At national level, PSV Eindhoven is almost nothing to the next opponent from Barcelona. Almost nothing, because the Dutch champions lost the game for the national Supercup at the beginning of August against Feyenoord on penalties. Otherwise, however, PSV Eindhoven were able to win all five games in the first five rounds of the new season in the Eredivisie. With 6: 1 at home against Willem II Tilburg on the penultimate matchday and a 7-0 on Saturday at ADO Den Haag, PSV Eindhoven was in good mood. All in all, PSV Eindhoven have already scored 21 goals and scored only three goals after five match days. With a maximum yield of fifteen points, PSV Eindhoven are leading the table in the Netherlands ahead of Ajax Amsterdam with 13 points. Seasonally and competitively, PSV Eindhoven lost only one of their last sixteen competitive games. And that was just that lost match for the Supercup. Otherwise, there were eleven wins and four draws.
PSV Eindhoven not only won the first five games of the new season in the Eredivisie. There were in between two successes in the playoffs to the premier class. Against the Belarussian champion BATE Borisov, the Dutch played in the first leg away with 3: 2 and at home with 3: 0. With that, PSV Eindhoven travel to Barcelona with seven competitive wins in a row and 27: 5 goals. And yet it will not be enough in international comparison. Last season, PSV Eindhoven failed in the play-offs for the Europa League on NK Osijek from Croatia. The year before, PSV Eindhoven were in the Champions League in a group with Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid and FK Rostov from Russia last. In the match of Barcelona against PSV Eindhoven, a tip on the Dutch brings betting odds in the high double digits. This is at least the direction of the bookmakers clear.
