PSV v Lens

PSV vs Lens Preview

The other fixture being played in Arsenal's group (Group B) on Wednesday night features this upcoming tussle between PSV and Lens who sit in fourth and second places respectively prior to this Matchday 4 encounter at the Philips Stadion where the Dutch hosts will be looking to not only pick up a third win on the trot in all competitions but to also extend their unbeaten run to 10 games overall, while Lens will also be looking to extend their unbeaten sequence in all competitions to 10 matches as well.

Having collected no fewer than seven wins within their previous nine matches in all competitions, PSV will be hoping they can kick-start their campaign in the group stage of this season's Champions League as the hosts still go in search of their first win.

A resounding 4-0 loss away from home at Arsenal handed PSV the worst possible start to this season's campaign but points picked up in draws with Sevilla and Lens in subsequent games have managed to keep PSV in the hunt for a possible top two finish or at least, a place in the Europa League knockout stages.

Indeed, a win against Lens on Wednesday night would lift Peter Bosz's side level on points with Lens and having won 10 out of their last 11 matches overall on home soil at their Philips Stadion, the hosts will be confident of achieving just that.

Lens currently occupy second place in the Group B standings prior to this tough looking Matchday 4 trip to the Netherlands where they'll be up against a PSV outfit with winning momentum behind them on home soil.

Nevertheless, Lens have produced a solid start to this group stage as the French club still remain unbeaten so far in this campaign as they have picked up points in draws with Sevilla and PSV along with collecting what could prove to be a vital 2-1 home win against Arsenal as well.

However, four of Lens' five points accrued so far in Group B have been achieved on home soil at their Stade Bollaert-Delelis while results away from home have been generally more modest as the visitors have managed to capture just one win from their last nine outings on the road in all competitions.

Lens also possess limited pedigree at Champions League level and the French outfit have failed to win any of their previous four ties on their travels which includes losses on the road at AC Milan and Deportivo la Coruna, both of which were some 21 years ago!

PSV with home advantage and winning momentum behind them at their Philips Stadion look a tough proposition for visitors, Lens, who may well struggle against their Dutch counterparts here.
