Famous Ukrainian journalist and commentator Roberto Morales prepared a forecast for the Champions League playoff match “Arsenal” — PSV.

In the group stage of the tournament, the “Gunners” finished third in the overall standings. Moreover, the situation allows them to focus on the main tournament in Europe — in the Premier League, everyone sees (most from a distance) the back of “Liverpool.” Arteta's team, as before, is in second place in the standings, but after draws with “Nottingham Forest” (0:0) and “Manchester United” last Sunday (1:1), the “white-reds” lagged 16 points behind the leading Merseysiders.
PSV, in turn, lost hopes of reaching the quarter-finals, suffering a real humiliation — 1:7. In the previous round, Peter Bosz's team knocked “Juventus” out of the playoffs (winning 4:3 on aggregate), and in the Eredivisie, the striped team is already 8 points behind “Ajax” in the title race. Thanks to goals from Saibari and Guus Til, they ended their three-match winless streak in all competitions with a triumph over “Heerenveen” with a score of 2:1. Now PSV will try to break a 15-match history without away wins in the Champions League, which began back in 2016. The odds — the guests with a handicap (+1), — said Morales.
