In the Champions League in the last match, PSV completely dismantled Liverpool 4–1 away from home. More recently, they defeated Napoli 6–2, which keeps them in contention for the knockout stage.

When it comes to their home form, PSV has looked confident. They are unbeaten in their last five home fixtures and have scored heavily. Over those games, PSV managed to score 18 goals.
However, their head-to-head record at home against Atlético Madrid has been difficult. PSV have hosted Atlético three times and have never managed to win, recording two defeats and one draw. Additionally, PSV failed to score a single goal in those home meetings.
Atletico Madrid
Atlético Madrid, after an excellent run of seven consecutive wins in all competitions, now looks slightly uncertain in their recent performances.

As a result, they are now nine points behind Barcelona and currently sit fourth in the league table.
In the Champions League, Atlético managed to beat Inter in their most recent match. Before that, they defeated Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. Atlético currently sits 12th with nine points after five games and still has a very strong chance of reaching the knockout stage.
