We are prepping ourselves for another exiting Champions League evening. In group B, an interesting game will be played between Tottenham Hotspur and PSV Eindhoven, as they battle for the third place in the group. For both sides, losing this game will almost certainly mean a final knock-out for European football this season.
If we are to believe the bookies, tonight's game is going to be a walk in the park for the London team, but they should be prepared to play against an opponent that will be playing with a "nothing to lose' mindset right from the beginning of the game.
Although PSV is currently the number one in the Dutch Eredivisie, having won all the matches they have played so far, the European campaign isn't going that smoothly. But they certainly have a squad that should be capable of putting some pressure on the defense of Tottenham Hotspur,
Speaking of the club from London, their performance in the CL has also been quite disappointing so far. The team is dealing with a lot of injured players: Eric Dier, Moussa Dembele and midfielder Victor Wanyama will not be playing, and it is also questionable how many minutes Dele Alli can make on the pitch. On top of this, Hugo Lloris is suspended, due to a red card he received in previous match.
Expected line-up Tottenham:
Michel Vorm (GK), Toby Alderweireld (DF), Ben Davies (DF), Serge Aurier (DF), Davinson Sanchez (DF), Moussa Sissoko (MD), Christian Eriksen (MD), Dele Alli (MD), Heung-min Son (MD), Harry Winks (MD), Harry Kane (FW).
Expected line-up PSV:
Jeroen Zoet (GK), Nick Viergever (DF), Angelino (DF), Denzel Dumfries (DF), Daniel Schwaab (DF), Jorrit Hendrix (MD), Gaston Pereiro (MD), Steven Bergwijn (FW). Hirving Lozano (FW), Luuk de Jong (FW).
I think that we are in for a dynamic match, with two teams that will push it to the limit in order to extend their European adventure. I am predicting a win for Tottenham Hotspur. Score 2-1
So who do you expect to be the winner? Tottenham or PSV? Or perhaps a draw?
