Comments and predictions for Bayer Leverkusen vs PSV Eindhoven: Late goal

Latest Bayer Leverkusen vs PSV Eindhoven team information

Leverkusen are in danger of losing captain Robert Andrich (groin) after he was taken off midway through the game against St. Pauli, while Patrik Schick was also forced off late in the game with a suspected hamstring injury. Both could join Exequiel Palacios (groin, ineligible), Martin Terrier (Achilles) and Nathan Tella (knee).

Malik Tillman – who has scored twice in the Bundesliga since joining from PSV this summer – will be hoping to face his former club. Alex Grimaldo, who scored in the draw with Copenhagen, is expected to return to action, having scored two goals and provided one assist in five Bundesliga games.

For PSV, Ruben van Bommel – who scored the opening goal – has a serious knee injury and could miss the rest of the season, while Alassane Plea (knee), Myron Boadu (hamstring), Kiliann Sildillia (thigh) and possibly Sergino Dest, who will be assessed ahead of the game.

Ricardo Pepi and Anass Salah-Eddine are also doubts after they each left the field injured against Excelsior.

Meanwhile, Ivan Perisic did not make any further mark last weekend, Joey Veerman continued to shine with his sixth contribution of the season (3 goals, 3 assists) and aims to improve his performance at BayArena.

Goalkeeper Matej Kovar is expected to start for PSV, although he is currently on loan from Leverkusen.

Latest football commentary on Bayer Leverkusen vs PSV Eindhoven

Leverkusen continued their recovery from a brief spell under Erik ten Hag with a hard-fought win over St. Pauli last weekend, extending their unbeaten run since coach Kasper Hjulmand took charge.

Despite not having kept a clean sheet since the 4-0 win over Grossaspach in the German Cup in mid-August, optimists believe that the unbeaten run following the defeat to Hoffenheim in the opening round of the Bundesliga is a positive sign.

Beating St. Pauli means Leverkusen head into this week's clash with PSV unbeaten in five games, winning three and drawing two, including a 2-2 draw at Copenhagen two weeks ago.

Leverkusen have never lost to a Dutch side in seven meetings, winning four and drawing three. Remarkably, it was PSV who they beat in Germany and drew with in the Netherlands 31 years ago.

Leverkusen also won 4-0 at Feyenoord in the last 12 months. With only two defeats in their last 11 Champions League group stage games, “Die Werkself” are determined not to lose for the third time in this competition.

On the other side, PSV traveled to Germany with the aim of stopping Hjulmand's winning streak. However, the Dutch team is having to recover from a surprising 1-3 defeat to Union Saint-Gilloise in Eindhoven in the opening match, where they conceded three goals before Ruben van Bommel pulled one back.

That defeat marked two consecutive home defeats in all competitions for Peter Bosz and his team. But in the Eredivisie, PSV found the joy of winning again with a 2-1 win over Excelsior, extending a run of eight consecutive away wins – a run that began last season.

PSV are unbeaten away from home since March, when they lost to Go Ahead Eagles, including a 2-2 draw with Arsenal in the Champions League six months ago. However, it is worth remembering that they were thrashed 7-1 in the first leg of their last-16 tie.

Since that defeat, PSV have lost two of their last three Champions League games, and their record against German sides is not encouraging either: 14 defeats and three draws in 17 games since a 2-1 win over Eintracht Braunschweig in the 1977 UEFA Cup.

Therefore, the encounter with Leverkusen promises to be exciting, as both teams are easy to concede goals. With their dedicated attacking style of play, PSV is expected to continue to bring an open game at BayArena.
