• Fixture: PSV Eindhoven vs Atletico Madrid
• Date: Tuesday, 09 December 2025
• Kick-off: 20:00 GMT
• Venue: Philips Stadion

PSV Eindhoven will look to capitalise on their recent strong performances, particularly their convincing win against Liverpool. With a predicted 4-4-2 formation, they'll aim to exploit the flanks with Dest and Junior pushing forward from full-back, while Veerman and Wanner control the midfield. The attacking duo of Pepi and Til could pose a significant threat to Atletico Madrid's defence.

Atletico Madrid, coming off a mixed bag of results, will rely on their solid defensive structure in a 4-1-4-1 setup. The midfield quartet of Simeone, Gallagher, Barrios, and Baena will be crucial in breaking down PSV's midfield and feeding Alvarez up top. However, their recent away form suggests they might struggle to contain PSV's attacking flair.

PSV Eindhoven have shown impressive form recently, highlighted by their 4-1 victory over Liverpool away from home. They've managed to secure two wins and two draws in their last five matches, demonstrating consistency and resilience. This strong run of form should give them confidence going into the match against Atletico Madrid.

Their home form has been particularly strong, as evidenced by their 2-1 win against Inter and 3-1 victory over Union St. Gilloise.

• Predicted lineup: Musso (GK), Molina (DF), Gimenez (DF), Hancko (DF), Ruggeri (DF), Koke (MF), Simeone (MF), Gallagher (MF), Barrios (MF), Baena (MF), Alvarez (AT)

• Saibari vs Ruggeri: Saibari's pace and movement will test Ruggeri's defensive positioning and recovery speed.

• Veerman vs Baena: Veerman's control and distribution in midfield will be crucial against Baena's pressing and ball-winning ability.

• Veerman (PSV Eindhoven): Veerman's ability to dictate the tempo and create chances from midfield will be vital for PSV Eindhoven.

• Simeone (Atletico Madrid): Simeone's energy and versatility in midfield will be key to disrupting PSV's rhythm and supporting both defence and attack.
