PSV Eindhoven v Rosenborg Betting Tips [12 December 2019]

PSV Eindhoven and Rosenborg have nothing but pride to play for in the last match of their Europa League Group ‘D’ engagements. PSV are third with seven points and are guaranteed to finish third irrespective of the result. Rosenborg are still searching for a point and are rooted to the bottom of the points tally.

PSV would be disappointed at not being in contention for the knockouts, given the start they have had. The opening three matches saw PSV pick up seven points, but have lost their last two matches heavily to drop out of the race. The Dutch giants have otherwise been impressive at home in the competition. PSV have picked up all their seven points at home this Europa League campaign and are unbeaten in four. The last time PSV lost at home in the competition was July 2017. With three clean sheets in their last four home matches in the Europa League, PSV could be aiming to finish their season on a high.

Rosenborg are in exactly the same position as last year, when they lost their first five Europa League matches. This season too, the Norwegians have lost each of their five group stage matches including a 2-0 loss to PSV. Interestingly, four of their five losses have come with a one-goal margin. Additionally, Rosenborg have failed to score in three of their five Europa League matches. The visitors carry a very poor form coming into this fixture, losing ten of their last 11 matches. Rosenborg’s last Europa League win has come in August 2018, failing to score in six of the 11 matches hence. Even on the road, Rosenborg have struggled and have lost four of their last five Europa League away games.

There is nothing left in the much for the two teams, but PSV Eindhoven and Rosenborg will have enough motivation for this fixture. PSV will look to finish with a win, while Rosenborg will hope for a positive end to another poor European season. However, considering the strength of PSV, this match is more likely to favour the hosts.
