Sevilla FC seeks to just lean on their destiny for their Champions League campaign when they face PSV Eindhoven, who is at the safer spot. These two teams are at the Group B in the Champions League group stage. Moreover, in their group, PSV is at the second with five points, but are winless in their last three games. Currently, PSV were able to win just once, and lost to one, and draw twice in their campaign in UCL. Meanwhile, Sevilla is sitting at the fourth of the group, having only two points in their campaign. Additionally, Sevilla remain to be winless in their campaign, having two losses, and two draws, which is unfortunate. This is just the fourth meeting between these two teams, with both sides having one win each. The meeting between these two teams is on November 30, 2023, at 1:45 AM (GMT+8).
Sevilla FC
Sevilla, currently in the bottom of the standings, are facing a potential exit from continental football for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign. The team, led by Diego Alonso, struggled to settle into the dugout after a trip to Arsenal, where they tried to cut down the Gunners’ attacking talent. However, their tactics only proved effective for so long, as Leandro Trossard scored for Sevilla. The team is already eliminated from the first-placed conversation, and they are three points behind Lens and PSV, who will ensure they cannot qualify for the last 16 if they win. A 2-1 La Liga loss to Real Sociedad was not ideal preparation for the hosts.
Sevilla suffered a disastrous loss to Real Sociedad, with Jesus Navas and Sergio Ramos both red cards. Loic Bade was injured, and Tanguy Nianzou will replace him. Alonso is absent for Wednesday’s game due to calf, muscle, and knee issues. Marko Dmitrovic will continue in midfield. Boubakary Soumare is a doubt due to an ankle issue.
PSV Eindhoven
PSV, led by Peter Bosz, are currently in a strong position in the Eredivisie, with 13 wins in 13 games in the 2023-24 Dutch top flight campaign. They have a seven-point lead over champions Feyenoord at the top of the standings, but must now focus on a Champions League last-16 berth. The Rood-Witten, who have not won any of their first three contests in Group B, have a head-to-head tie-breaker keeping them above Les Sang et Or. PSV will be confirmed as last-16 participants if they beat Sevilla and Lens lose to Arsenal. However, the Rood-Witten have a poor run on the road in Europe’s elite competition, with none of their last 15 Champions League away matches ending in victory, the longest such winless run of any side in the current tournament. Only a 95th-minute Jordan Teze equaliser prevented Bosz’s side from suffering a 2-1 loss to Sevilla in Eindhoven.
PSV lost central defender Andre Ramalho to injury in a 3-0 win over Twente. Bosz claims Ramalho is fit to start, but Armando Obispo and Olivier Boscagli may return. Southampton loanee Armel Bella-Kotchap is still receiving treatment. Mauro Junior and Noa Lang made the bench.

Sevilla FC (1.5)
