FC Copenhagen vs PSV Predictions

• PSV recovered from a 3-1 and a 4-3 deficit to avoid defeat in the first leg.
• Four of PSV’s away wins since the start of December also saw both teams score.
• Copenhagen scored at least twice in six of their last nine European home games.
• PSV eventually won all three of their prior two-legged ties with Danish opponents.

Home advantage could prove key

Copenhagen only arrived back from their winter break last month, but they have looked strong with four consecutive domestic victories with an eight-goal thriller in the reverse leg (4-4) sandwiched between them.

The visitors netted 12 goals across five games following the winter break, which when combined with their solid run across their last nine European home games (W7, L2), suggests that they will pose a significant threat to PSV.

PSV’s treble hopes rest on this

After making the KNVB Cup final and with just a slender gap keeping them from the top of the Eredivisie standings, PSV know that they have an unbelievable chance to win a historical treble for the first time since 1988!

No side since Real Sociedad in December have kept PSV from getting on the scoresheet, while they scored at least twice on 12 of 18 competitive games since then, suggesting they will be up for the challenge of racking up even more goals in this second leg.

All in all, we predict that PSV will win but we can get some extra value from backing the selection in the ‘win and BTTS’ market. We expect the high-scoring tempo of the first leg to continue here, so we are siding with an exciting 3-2 away win.
