Team News

PSV Eindhoven
Manager Peter Bosz has no significant injury worries ahead of this European clash, and the attacking options are plentiful. Star forwards Luuk de Jong and Johan Bakayoko are expected to lead the line, with the creativity of Noa Lang and Ismael Saibari providing support. Bosz may even look to instill a high-pressing system in exploiting Union's lack of experience in the Champions League.

Union Saint-Gilloise
Head Coach Sébastien Pocognoli will be without long-time absentee Henok Teklab through injury, but will have an otherwise near full squad for this fixture. Union has made defensive solidity its trademark, and the combination of Christian Burgess and Koki Machida will be key. Up front, striker Gustaf Nilsson will work to use his physicality and movement to cause issues for the PSV backline.

Form Guide

PSV's record is indicative of their attacking strength but also reveals some defensive concerns. They have scored an average of 3.4 goals a game in that period, and the loss for Telstar was a reminder that PSV can be vulnerable against low-block, well-organized teams.

Union's performance showcases a nice balance between defense and offense. The two clean sheets against Anderlecht and La Louvière show tactical maturity, and their wins over Standard Liège and Gent establish their capacity to beat quality teams.

Match Preview

This match-up showcases PSV's dynamic offense against Union's solid structure defensively. The Dutch team will want to control the ball and impose their threat from wide areas with players like Lang and Bakayoko, and De Jong poised to run off crosses from the flanks. Their capacity to quickly advance from defense to offense makes them very threatening, especially in front of their home supporters. In contrast, Union is expected to set up compactly, preventing PSV from generating attacking chances while searching for moments to counter. Pocognoli's team is good in transition, with Amoura and Teuma showing creativity, while Nilsson can play as a reference up front.
