PSV Eindhoven v Shakhtar D prediction

What to expect

We expect about 3.1 goals from PSV Eindhoven and 0.9 from Shakhtar D, so PSV Eindhoven come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 4.0 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Our pick: PSV Eindhoven to win. PSV Eindhoven are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 3.1-0.9), and we make them about 88% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.

We put the chance of that landing at about 88 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.40, which works out at about 71 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

What the numbers say
PSV Eindhoven have won two of their last five.

One thing to watch

A red card, a penalty or a smash-and-grab is all it takes for Shakhtar D to spoil this.
