PSV EindhovenUnion SG

PSV Eindhoven is incredibly prolific at home: in the three home matches so far this season, they scored 10 goals, with an xG average above 1.9, while also conceding 1.3–1.5 xG in defense. In their five matches across all competitions, they achieved a goal difference of 17–8, meaning they score on average more than 3 goals and concede almost 1.6 per match.

Union SG is organized away from home but not rock solid: in their four away competitive matches, they scored 5 goals and conceded 3, with an xG balance of 1.6–1.0 on average. However, the Belgians reached at least 1.0 xG in every away match, showing that their attack can be relied upon even if their defense is more reserved.

• In three of PSV's last five competitive matches, both teams scored, and each time there were 2 or more goals.
• Union SG scored 15 goals in seven league matches, with only three conceded against them, but their 3–2 away victory against Gent indicates that they are not fazed by open games.
• Injuries: PSV will be without defenders Obispo and Kuhn, and the visitors will be without forwards Florucz and Fuseini, which slightly weakens the defensive stability on both sides.
