Match Preview
The Champions League (CL) returns and will get underway with a Group B clash between Barcelona and PSV, with both sides the current champions of their respective nations. |
This will be the first meeting between Barcelona and PSV since the sides were drawn together in the 1997/98 CL group stage, both legs ended 2-2 back then. The all-time H2H record tips slightly in the hosts favour as Barcelona boast a record of W2, D3, L1 versus their Dutch counterparts. |
The recent European form of the sides points directly to a Barcelona win as they are now unbeaten in their last 26 UEFA home games (W24, D2), while PSV are winless in their last six group stage games (D2, L4). |
Barcelona extended their domestic winning streak to six games following their 2-1 win over Real Sociedad at the weekend. Expect action as both sides have scored ten or more goals across their last two games. |
PSV manager Mark van Bommel protects a seven-game unbeaten run heading into this one and has lost just one game as a manager so far (W7, L1). PSV are the highest scoring club in any of Europe’s top six leagues with 21 goals after just five games (all won). |
Players to watch: Lionel Messi has the joint highest number of all time CL hat-tricks with seven, can he edge past Ronaldo here? |
Steven Bergwijn (PSV) is currently on a personal best run of four goals across three consecutive games domestically and in Europe – he will look to extend that to four here. |
Stat attack: Barcelona have scored more all time CL hat-tricks than any other side (12). Messi contributed 58.3% of those. |
PSV’s 7-0 victory at the weekend equalled an Eredivisie record for the largest ever away win. |
Both teams have scored in five of the six historical H2Hs, all of those games featured over 2.5 goals. |
