PSV – Inter, Champions League Prediction

PSV is a unique team that is a so good to see playing football from a neutral point of view and the Dutch team remind us of the old times, when everyone was watching teams like Ajax, Feyenoord and PSV for the football they practiced. Naturally, now PSV are not at the level of the top teams, but they are still a factor. Their first match was not good in terms of result and they lost 0-4 from Barcelona in Spain. PSV, however, had their chances and should be disappointed that they did not score, although they had good opportunities to do so. This match showed that they don’t want to defend all the time, to park the bus and ignore their style of play just, because it is Barcelona. This was said before the game by van Bommel and he fully confirmed his words. As hosts, PSV will cause difficulties for all teams in the group. Moreover, the Dutch are in a brilliant form. They have 13 wins from the last 15 games and scored a huge number of goals and 1 week ago they defeated Ajax by 3-0 just in the first half in the derby for the first place, giving themselves a 5-point lead in the Eredivisie.

Inter also got their shape and they look much better after 4 consecutive wins. The most important, perhaps, was the one against Tottenham in the last round of the Champions League, which came at the end of the game after Vecino goal. Inter must take the win again here to take precedence over Tottenham and Barca, who face themselves in the other match of the group. Here, however, they will face a very aggressive PSV team, and Inter are still not impressive in defense.

PSV and Inter are two glorious teams that have a huge history in European tournaments. However, they have only two matches in the Champions League and these fixtures were 11 years ago again in the groups, when the Italians won both games to 0. Now things are different. This game seems to be quite intriguing and even in some aspects may be more interesting than Tottenham – Barcelona. It seems that both teams are highly motivated and it is logical to expect a lot of dynamic in this game, respectively quick attacks, mistakes and goals. Our prediction is reasonable – BTTS at 1.67.
