Sevilla will look for a way off the bottom of Group B when they entertain PSV at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Wednesday for matchday five of the Champions League group stage campaign, with kickoff slated for 17:45 GMT.
Sevilla are winless and at the bottom of Group B after four rounds of fixtures. They have two draws and two consecutive defeats in the group so far, giving them two points.
They trail third-placed Lens by three points heading into the penultimate match. This means they need to win the match to stand a chance of even making it into the Europa League in third.
They go into the home match on the back of two consecutive defeats in the Champions League. They lost both matches in the double-header against Arsenal, losing 1-2 at home and 2-1 away at the Emirates.
While Sevilla have managed to score four goals in four matches, they have conceded the joint-highest tally of 7 goals in Group A, alongside their Wednesday opponents PSV.
Sevilla will need to tighten their defensive structure if they are to get anything in the clash against PSV. A win for the home side will see them pull level on five points with PSV, which will bolster their chances of making it into the knockout stages heading into the final match.
Bet herePSV are unbeaten in their last three Champions League matches in Group B, since the opening day 4-0 loss at the Emirates against Arsenal. They have had two consecutive draws and a win, giving them a tally of five points heading into the penultimate match of the group.
Domestically, PSV have been flawless, winning all 13 of their matches in the Eredivisie. They have also been impressive in front of goal, scoring a brilliant 48 goals in 13 matches and conceding an impressive five goals in this run.
PSV will look to extend their domestic form into their trip to Sevilla as they look to seal passage to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
They warmed up for the trip to Sevilla with a solid 0-3 win away to Twente in the Eredivisie. They have kept four clean sheets in their last four outings in all competitions, highlighting their compactness.
Center-back Marcao is nursing a muscle injury he has been carrying since October 17th, 2023. The defender is unlikely to recover in time to make it into the matchday squad in the home match against PSV on Wednesday.
Sevilla will also miss the services of goalkeeper Orjan Nyland, who is recovering from a hip problem he suffered on November 6th, 2023. The 33-year-old shot stopper is unlikely to make it into the matchday squad.
Center-back Sergio Ramos has also been nursing a leg injury since October 31st and is a doubt for the home match against PSV.
PSV will be without left-back Mauro Junior (knee problem), center-back Armando Obispo (knee injury), and center-back Armel Bella-Kotchapo (shoulder problem).
These players are unlikely to make it into the matchday squad for the trip to Sevilla.
