PSV Eindhoven vs Borussia Dortmund Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 20th February 2024

Borussia Dortmund travel to Philips Stadion to face PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday for the first of two meetings in the Champions League round of 16.

PSV Eindhoven managed to book their place in the first knockout-round in slightly unconvincing style, when you look at the number of wins. They claimed just two, but to their credit they also suffered defeat just once, which proved their saving grace.

Borussia Dortmund somewhat luckily managed to top their group despite claiming just three wins from their six outings. Losing just once in the strongest group of them all was a strong output, though, and as group winners they'll fancy their chances of surviving this first hurdle that is PSV Eindhoven.

Following a mediocre group stage PSV Eindhoven will be fully aware they need to up their game to secure participation in the next round. Too sloppy defending again surely won't to unpunished against a quality opponent like Borussia Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund will be hopeful their sometimes strong performances in the group served as an appetizer for even better things to come in the knockout phase. They enter their match-up against PSV Eindhoven as favourites and have no plans of succumbing to an upset.

PSV Eindhoven scored 22 goals, conceded 15, and pulled off one clean sheet in their last ten matches in this tournament.

Borussia Dortmund travel to their next Champions League match, averaging a lowly 0.9 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament. They scored a disappointing total of nine goals, while also conceding seven. That amounts to an average of 0.7 per game, in which they kept their opponents from scoring five times.

They started off drawing 1-1 with Ajax, before beating first FC Volendam by 1-5, then Heracles in a 2-0 win. PSV Eindhoven won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Champions League, while also drawing two. They suffered one defeats, while they scored 13 and conceded six goals.

Borussia Dortmund Form

In their last three matches, Borussia Dortmund drew 0-0 with FC Heidenheim, beat Freiburg 3-0 before a 1-1 draw with Wolfsburg. Borussia Dortmund managed a decent return of three wins in their last six Champions League away matches, in which they scored nine while also conceding seven times. They also experienced one draw and two defeats.

You could argue a case on behalf of both teams, but form quite simply looks better, and the prices with the bookmakers for a home win are decent. Therefore, PSV Eindhoven get the nod here against Borussia Dortmund.
