PSV Eindhoven-Wolfsburg Statistical Preview

PSV Eindhoven Philip Cocu is likely to still be without Jetro William, Simon Poulsen and Menno Koch. Jetro Willems hasn't featured for the away side since damaging knee ligaments in July. Florian Jozefzoon made his comeback in a reverse team fixture earlier last month, but is still awaiting his first-team return. Maxime Lestienne has returned to training following the death of his mother and is back in contention to play. PSV will have Santiago Arias back available after he missed the reverse fixture through suspension. Wolfsburg Wolfsburg rested a number of first-team players for the league win over Bayer Leverkusen and they will all return here. The German outfit could be without Max Kruse, Christian Trasch, Felipe Lopes and Robin Knoche for the trip to Holland, however. Vieirinha could take Trasch's spot at right-back if he fails to prove his fitness. Prediction Given Manchester United's recent woes, both teams should sense a real chance to progress from the group. There are only three points separating all four teams and a win for either side would surely be one foot in the door for the next stage of the competition. PSV are unbeaten in all competitions since the start of March and will be hoping their home form will give them an advantage over Wolfsburg. The German side are seeking their first points away from home, although they are the stronger team on paper, so this match is evenly poised PSV Eindhoven Philip Cocu is likely to still be without Jetro William, Simon Poulsen and Menno Koch.
