The penultimate round of 2022/23 Europa League fixtures will take place on the 27th of October including the meeting between PSV Eindhoven and Arsenal.

The match will take place at the Philips Stadion and the hosts begin this round of fixtures second in Group A on 7 points while the visitors are top on 12 points.

PSV Eindhoven come into the match on the back of a disappointing 4-2 loss at Groningen in the Eredivisie on the weekend.

Having found themselves 3-0 down in the game, PSV Eindhoven came back to make it 3-2 in the second half but conceded a fourth goal in the last minute to lose the match.

That result means PSV Eindhoven have lost their last 2 games in all competitions. The first loss came in the reverse Europa League fixture against Arsenal. The only goal of the game was scored in the 70th minute.

Home form this season shows PSV Eindhoven are difficult to beat at the Philips Stadion. They have won each of their last 4 home matches in all competitions and are undefeated in their last 6 games on home soil.

Home form in the Europa League shows PSV Eindhoven are undefeated in 7 of their last 8 fixtures but they have won only 2 of their last 5.

Trends show both teams have scored in 4 of PSV Eindhoven’s 6 most recent home Europa League matches.

Arsenal travel to Eindhoven on the back of a 1-1 draw at Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Gunners took the lead in the 11th minute but conceded the equalising goal in the 65th minute of the match to take a point.

That result means Arsenal are undefeated in their 9 most recent games in all competitions. They have won 8 of those 9 matches and 4 of the wins have come in the Europa League. Arsenal have defeated Bodø/Glimt home and away, Zürich away and PSV Eindhoven at home.

Away form in the Europa League shows Arsenal have won 4 of their last 5 away trips in the competition. They are undefeated in 12 of their last 13 on the road in the Europa League and Arsenal have seen both teams score in 5 of their last 7 away Europa League fixtures.

Team news and PSV Eindhoven are without several key players for this game, with Olivier Boscagli, Marco van Ginkel, Ismael Saibari, Kjell Peersman, and Yorbe Vertessen all injured.

Arsenal are without the injured duo of Mohamed Elneny and Emile Smith Rowe. Oleksandr Zinchenko is also likely to sit this one out but could return to action on the weekend.

We expect to see goals in this game and both teams should find the back of the net. Arsenal know a point would be enough to see them top the group but they will go for the win and should get it against a depleted PSV Eindhoven.
