Well-known Ukrainian journalist and commentator Roberto Morales prepared a prediction for the Champions League playoff match PSV – "Arsenal".
— PSV unpleasantly surprised Turin’s "Juventus" in the previous stage, losing the first match, but later took revenge. Of course, the Dutch club was not considered the favorite in the clash against the "Old Lady". Interestingly, after an energy-consuming game with the Italians, PSV lost to the modest "Go Ahead Eagles" twice in a row – first in the Dutch Cup, then in the league.
"Arsenal" has probably finished its attempts to challenge "Liverpool" and should forget about the hope of winning the championship title. Against "Nottingham Forest" (0:0) and "West Ham United" (0:1), the "Gunners" couldn't even score. Personnel losses have hit Arteta's team hard in attack – without Martinelli, Havertz, Saka, and Gabriel Jesus, it's difficult for the team to turn things around positively. Mikel Merino as an improvised center forward is already a disaster. The bet is on a draw, — said Morales.
