PSV Eindhoven vs Lens prediction 08.11.2023

• Competition: Champions League
• Date: Wednesday, 8th November 2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Philips Stadion (Eindhoven)

On Wednesday night at Philips Stadion in Eindhoven, we will have an important Champions League tie between PSV and Lens. PSV are playing well in Eredivisie but have only two points from three matches in the strongest European competition, so they need a win to get back in contention for the second round. On the other hand, Lens are the only unbeaten team in the group and another good result would mean a lot for Franck Haise's team.

PSV are dominant in the Dutch national this season. After 11 league rounds, they have a maximum of 33 points, so Peter Bosz's team already has made a big difference in contrast to other major teams in Eredivisie. PSV won four of the last five matches. In the previous game, they won 6-0 on the road against Heracles. It was anticipated to be a much harder match, but from the first minute, it was clear that PSV was simply too good and that winning all three points was never really in question. 

Lens are on the run of nine games without a loss, but the fans can't be satisfied, because four of the previous five matches finished with a draw. In Ligue 1, Lens are only a mid-table team with 13 points from 11 league matches. In the previous game, they played 0-0 on the road against Lorient. Guests were a better team as they had seven shots on the goal than the opponent, but still couldn't pick up all three points. 

PSV vs Lens pick: PSV to win

PSV are dominant at the home stadium this season. They have seven wins and one draw at Philips Stadion so far. On the other hand, Lens have big problems in the attack as they scored only six goals in the last five matches in all competitions. PSV to win should be the best bet for this tie.
