This will be the fourth meeting between these two sides in 2023

Sevilla will host PSV in the UEFA Champions League at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán stadium for matchday 5 of group B. PSV, having won their last game, aim to secure another victory for a strong position in the table. On the other hand, Sevilla, coming from a recent loss, are eager to bounce back in front of the home crowd.

The Nervionenses recently suffered a setback at the hands of Arsenal- a 2-0 defeat. Further, they have already conceded 7 goals and scored only 4 in 4 games- L2 D2. Meanwhile, PSV’s recent 1-0 win against Lens adds to their motivation. In their last three UCL games, they lost once and drew twice.

While PSV eye to go top of the league, sitting in a favourable position, Sevilla, currently in fourth place with 2 points, need to make up ground.

Players to watch for

Youssef En-Nesyri (Sevilla)

The 26-year-old Moroccan international, Youssef En-Nesyri has given the Sevilites a lot to hope for with his goal-scoring form. So far this season, En-Nesyri has scored 6 goals in all competitions, including a goal in the Champions League. If anything the fans as well as his teammates will be hoping for him to get on the scoresheet.

Luuk De Jong (PSV)

At 33, Luuk De Jong has still got it! The Dutchman has been firing all cylinders this season. His goal-scoring has been second to none. De Jong already has 16 G/A (10 G & 6 A) in just 13 Eredivisie games. Meanwhile, since PSV got into the UCL group stage via qualifying rounds, he has 7 goals and an assist so far in just 8 UCL games.

Match facts

Sevilla are yet to win a group-stage game; after 4 games they 2 draws and 2 losses.
PSV have failed to win a single game on travels in the last 15 games in the UCL (5 D 10 L)

Injury & team news

The home team doesn’t have much to worry about. Sevilla’s Alfonso Pastor won’t play due to a meniscus injury, and there are doubts about Marcão’s availability. On the flip side, PSV will be without Armel Bella-Kotchap, Armando Obispo, and Mauro Junior this week. So, a trip to Spain under these circumstances could really pose a threat to their hopes of qualifying for the knockouts.
