In the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, PSV will play against Borussia Dortmund in Eindhoven. The match prediction for these teams has been prepared by analysts from Dailysports.
PSV
Under the management of Peter Bosz, who previously coached Borussia Dortmund, PSV is having an exceptionally remarkable season. In Eredivisie, PSV won 20 out of 22 matches and drew only twice. Throughout the season, PSV suffered only two defeats: against Arsenal (0:4) in the Champions League and against Feyenoord in the KNVB Beker Round of 16. In the Champions League group stage, PSV managed to surpass Lille and Sevilla, while Arsenal claimed the top spot. Over the weekend, PSV comfortably defeated Heracles (2:0).
Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund's Borussia became one of the main sensations of the group stage, topping the "Group of Death" with PSG, Milan, and Newcastle. The German vice-champions lost only one match to PSG in the opening group stage match but then earned 11 points. In the Bundesliga, Edin Terzic's team is no longer in contention for the championship and is now fighting for a top-4 finish. Currently, with 41 points, Borussia Dortmund holds the fourth position, leading RB Leipzig by just 1 point. Over the weekend, Dortmund played a 1:1 draw against Wolfsburg.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history

PSV vs Borussia Dortmund prediction
PSV is performing incredibly well this season, while Borussia Dortmund is lacking stability catastrophically. I predict that the victory in this game will go to the Eredivisie leaders.
