Dortmund vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction & Match Preview

• Borussia Dortmund are unbeaten in four head-to-head clashes with PSV.
• Both teams scored in four of Dortmund’s last five matches across competitions.
• We also saw goals at both ends in five of PSV’s previous seven outings in all competitions.

Borussia Dortmund host Eredivisie table-toppers PSV Eindhoven in the return game of their UEFA Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday evening at AIGNAL IDUNA PARK. The tie is wide open after a 1-1 stalemate in the first leg played three weeks ago in Eindhoven. PSV’s top scorer Luuk de Jong cancelled Donyell Malen’s opener in an evenly-matched contest at Philips Stadion on the occasion.

Both teams picked up wins in their respective domestic league games at the weekend. Dortmund somehow survived the pendulum swing on Saturday, beating Werder Bremen 2-1 on the road despite Marcel Sabitzer’s first-half red card. Der BVB are still fourth in the Bundsliga standings albeit sitting just a single point above RB Leipzig in fifth position.

PSV Eindhoven quickly returned to winning ways after a 2-2 draw to Feyenoord in the Dutch derby. They dispatched Go Ahead Eagles 1-0 on the road to stay ten points clear at the top of the Eredivisie standings. The team led by Peter Bosz have 22 wins and 3 draws in 25 domestic league outings this season.

Recent Meetings

It’s been 22 years since these two teams last met each other in the Champions League (before this season). Borussia Dortmund took four points from the two meetings with PSV in the group stage of the competition back in the 2002/23 campaign.

PSV are still searching for their maiden win over Borussia, going into the teams’ fifth head-to-head encounter.

Each of the previous four H2H meetings saw goals scored at both ends.

Borussia Dortmund vs PSV Prediction

Borussia Dortmund went unbeaten in five straight games in this season’s “Group of Death”. They have managed three subsequent wins over the likes of Newcastle (twice) and AC Milan. The 1-1 draw to PSG in a very important final day fixture served as another proof of the team’s quality at this level. PSV fell 0-4 at Arsenal during the group phase. They seem to have dropped in form in the latest outings.

Peter Bosz’s men drew 2-2 at home to Feyenoord two weeks ago and only edged past Go Ahead Eagles 1-0 on the road on Friday night. Dortmund also have two wins and draws each in the previous four H2H clashes with PSV. We will opt for the home win pick at the odds of 2.05.

Both teams fancy attacking-minded football and we would by no means be surprised to see an open game packed with chances on both ends of the pitch on Wednesday. PSV have bagged a whopping 80 goals in 25 Eredivisie games this season.

Four of Dortmund’s last five outings across competitions produced goals at both ends. Both teams also scored in each of the previous four head-to-head encounters between Dortmund and PSV. You can go for the Both Teams To Score pick at the 1.50 odds.
