PSV - Brugge team news and expert analysis
The Eindhoven club won the Eredivisie for the third consecutive time last spring. However, they were thrashed by AZ in the Super Cup, and their league campaign has also been marked by a number of slip-ups, allowing Feyenoord to move ahead of them in the standings. The team from the Jan Breydel Stadium reclaimed the league title last spring, finishing ahead of Union Saint-Gilloise. But after the summer break, they lost to Union in the Super Cup, and are now involved in another fiercely contested head-to-head battle for top spot.
The Dutch side opened their campaign at home and conceded first, but managed to level at 1-1 against Shakhtar. They then had no response to RB Leipzig's goal and lost 0-1. Only in the most recent round did they finally secure a win, with Till scoring the only goal against Porto.
In September, the Belgians hosted Aston Villa. Although they scored twice, they still went down 2-3. But then came a major upset: they beat Inter 4-3 in Milan. And against Lens at home, they produced an emphatic 3-0 victory!
