Command Analysis

PSV Eindhoven

Current Form
PSV dominates at home, losing to no one. In the national league, the team has played seven matches, winning each one. Over their last 20 home games, this Dutch club has suffered just one defeat. Competing in the Champions League presents a whole new level of challenge, so extending their successful run will be difficult for Peter Bosz's men. It's worth noting that in the opening match of the European tournament, the "Red-White Army" lost away to Juventus (1-3). There's certainly a desire to redeem themselves, but accomplishing that at home will be a challenge, particularly since their opponent is also in excellent form.
In the Eredivisie, the "Red-Whites" are clear leaders, allowing them to slightly shift their focus to the Champions League and aim to secure their first points. Sporting is one of the three opponents that can be matched evenly against, making it realistic to avoid defeat. However, these remain theoretical thoughts. We will soon see how it plays out on the pitch.
Not all players are fit to play, but the coaching staff has plenty of eager candidates ready to prove themselves. The key task is making the right choices.
