Sevilla will play host to PSV as the two sides face off in a clash that will shape their Champions League destinies. Going into this Group B clash, Sevilla are bottom on two points while PSV have five, in second. Sevilla, Europa League winners last season, are still in search of their opening Group B win. It is another season that they’ve failed to carry the Europa League form into the Champions League. That could land them back into the Europa League, or even worse, elimination. The precarious nature of this group is that Sevilla could rise to second with a win here, but also end up eliminated with a loss or draw. They remain the only side without a win in this group and will feel the need to go all out in search of one. Going to a game they must win, a 2-1 defeat at Real Sociedad last time out, must have dented their morale. It was their second loss in four matches, having earlier lost 2-0 to Arsenal in this group. Sevilla have also failed to win any of their last four matches, while they have one clean sheet in five. The Champions League isn’t their strongest competition either. Sevilla have no win in five Champions League matches, and won just one of the last 11.

PSV are in a very strong position coming into this game, and a win here will move them ever close to a second placed finish. The Dutch side has been remarkable in its rise since the opening day 4-0 loss to Arsenal. They will finish their Group B campaign against Arsenal so winning in this penultimate round is very important. Unlike Sevilla, they are doing well domestically, topping their league and on a great run. To this game, PSV carry a five-game winning run. Their most recent outing was the 3-0 win over Twente in Eredivisie, which was also their fourth straight clean sheet. In the 12 matches, coming after their defeat to Arsenal on Match Day 1, PSV haven't tasted defeat. They’ve won 10 in that run and have been prolific in attack, scoring at least twice in 10 of the 12. Their away run has four wins in the last five matches. The only time they failed to win in that period was the 1-1 draw with Lens. In eight Champions League matches, PSV have posted four wins, and just a loss.
