The Champions League second round pits PSV vs Sporting. Two of the best teams in their respective nations square off in an intriguing matchup.
The new season has been a winning one for both clubs. Everything about PSV’s performance is top-notch. It has already encountered several obstacles. First, a nail-biting encounter ended in a 4–5 loss for the Red and Whites against Feyenoord in the Dutch Super Cup. The first round of the Champions League was yet another loss for Peter Bos’ charges; they were utterly outclassed by Juventus (1-3).
If we’re talking about the Dutch league, PSV hasn’t lost a game and is now in first place. It also lost against Almere City 7-1, Valwijk 5-1, and Fortuna 3:1.
In terms of match statistics, Sporting is somewhat superior. In addition, the club and PSV were also eliminated from the national Super Cup. And there was a goal-fest as well—3:4 against Porto. From that point on, however, the people of Lisbon have never been one to give up. They breezed through the first round of the Champions League, defeating ‘Lille’ 2–0.
Sporting also had success in the domestic championship, but this time they only manage to extract wins. A 2:0 loss to “Porto” was already a significant test for him. The squad seldom let goals slip in previous encounters, including a hat trick against Nacional (6:1), a 5-0 thrashing of Farense, and a 3:0 victory against Estoril and ABC. The Green and White have established themselves as the unchallenged champs.
