PSV vs Girona Prediction & Betting Tips (5 November)

8th finalist last year in this Champions League, within this new reform, PSV has for the moment still not gleaned the slightest victory but has the merit of having held PSG in check two weeks ago at the Parc des Princes with a marvel from Noa Lang foot closed to Mbappé 1-1. During J2, at home, Eindhoven held Sporting of the Gyökeres machine to a draw while during the first day, the Dutch were unable to do anything against Juventus in Italy, defeated 3-1. In the championship, everything is bad for PSV which has 30 points after 10 days of championship or 10 victories including the most recent, against Zwolle without possible discussion 6-0. After a defeat at the Parc des Princes against PSG on gong 1 -0 and a setback against Feyenoord at home 2-3, Girona finally launched its adventure in the Champions League two weeks ago by defeating the very weak opposition of Slovan Bratislava at Montilivi 2-0.

A victory which offers balm to the heart for the Catalans who are really suffering this season following the numerous departures of major players from last year's epic. In La Liga for example, the Blanquivermells had won only one of their last six matches for a record of three defeats and two draws. Worse still, the situation did not change against Las Palmas , conceding a narrow defeat to Gran Canaria 1-0. 

PSV brought home a good point from the Parc by playing without certain major players like Lozano (4 goals in 4 appearances in the league this season), Dest (injured for a few weeks), the Batavian international Schouten or even Veerman, and Fode Fofana ( less important). Fortunately, the crack Noa Lang responded well and slammed a top goal in front of Marquinhos and Donnarumma. Scorer and captain Luuk de Jong (5 goals, 4 assists in the Eredivisie) will be there as will Moroccan international Saibari, Belgian international Bakayoko, and former Nice defender Boscagli. Note also the return to competition of the important defender Karsdorp (absent against PSG).

Opposite, the infirmary is also very busy with the Catalans who will have to do without the long-term injured: Artero and Jastin, without the Ukrainian crack Tsygankov, the recruits Romeu (FC Barcelona, ​​loan), Abdel Ruiz (ex-Braga), Bryan Gil (Tottenham, loan), and Asprilla without forgetting to mention the experienced Daley Blind, the winger Portu, the goalkeeper replacing Pau Lopez (OM, loan) and Solis Romero (important), all on the flank (injuries). Against Slovan Bratislava, starting midfielder Ivan Martin was injured in the first half and could stay with his friends at the medical point. The massacre does not stop there since the right-back who started most of the time, Frances, was injured in the league against Las Palmas (probably OUT this evening).
