One of Tuesday’s Champions League fixtures puts PSV against Borussia Dortmund in a game that will see Dutchman Donyell Malen return to face his former team. Expectations are that the Phillips Stadium will be jam-packed with fans that will voice their support for their team and make the life for the German guests a living hell.
PSV Team News
PSV will be entering this game with good spirits and good form. They are considered favourites and this could be looked at as somewhat logical, bu mainly due to Dortmund’s inconsistency. Nevertheless, the Dutch are undefeated in their last 4 games 3 of which they won. At home, they have also managed to win all of their official games for 2024. Maybe somewhat odd for a Dutch team, only 1 of PSV’s last 4 games saw over 2.5 goals. From their 4 home games in 2024, 2 have seen over 2.5 goals and the ther 2 under 2.5 goals. Historically, however, PSV have a negative record against German opposition with 20 losses and 10 wins.
Borussia Dortmund Team News
Borussia will be coming to the Phillips Stadium after a disappointing 1-1 draw to Wolfsburg which complicates their top 4 ambitions. Despite that, Edin Terzic ought to remind his players that they did manage to top the ”group of death” in this year’s edition. Another positive is that Borussia are still undefeated in 2024 having 4 wins and 2 draws to their name thus far. Four out of those games saw over 2.5 goals and more impressively – there are also 4 clean sheets for Dortmund. But is is on the road that Edin Terzic’s team seems to lose its footing as away trips are the most likely place for Borussia to lose points as evident by the 2 draws away from home in 2024.
Head-to-Head-Games
Against Dortmund, PSV are yet to record in a win. The teams have met a total of 3 times with the statistics being 2 wins for Dortmund and a draw. Every time there has been scoring done from both sides and in 2 games over 2.5 goals. But just as PSV have a bad record against German teams, so do Borussia against Dutch ones with only 3 wins from 11 encounters.

PSV – Borussia Dortmund Betting Prediction
Generally Borussia Dortmund and PSV are teams that seems to be scoring a lot. At home, the Dutch are stable, while Borussia is shaky in away games. But both teams have an affinity to score and I am thinking that this will be evident here. Thus, my pick here is for over 2.5 goals.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
