Arsenal vs PSV prediction and betting tips on March 12, 2025
Game Prediction
A return match between Arsenal and PSV will be held in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League on March 12, 2025. There is no intrigue in this pair a priori – the English will go further, the Dutch will try to “slam the door”.
Our prediction for the match Arsenal vs PSV
The club from London that was second last season, under Manchester City, is in the same position. Still, it is already lagging behind Liverpool, and if last spring the fight went on until the last round, now the intrigue was killed in the winter. Peter Bosz appeared in Eindhoven in 2023. The specialist started with winning the Super Cup, and then added a victory in the Eredivisie. This time, the team has lost to Feyenoord in the first tournament and has lost the confident lead due to winter misfires and has already fallen far behind Ajax in the Dutch championship.
Speaking about in the Champions League, the Dutch club has shown itself to be excellent. It started with a couple of draws after a 1-3 result in the confrontation with Juventus, but then won 4 times. For instance, the game against Shakhtar was turned a 0-2 score into a 3-2 result in the last minutes. And having lost with a 1-2 score in Turin, the team was able to win in February thanks to a goal in extra time – 3-1. Arteta’s footballers failed to cope only in the away struggle with the Italians – a 0-0 draw in the game against Atalanta and a 0-1 failure in the meeting with Inter. Nevertheless, the team won the rest of the matches, and that allowed it to go straight to the 1/8 finals. In Eindhoven, there was a rout, which is rare for the play-offs: the hosts lost with a 1-7 score.
The representatives of London score 2.56 goals per game in the League. And they defend very well: Raya concedes only 0.44 goals per struggle. The Dutch club now has got a negative ratio of 1.91/2.0
