Previous meetings

Porto have a narrow advantage from the clubs’ four previous official European meetings. The Portuguese side have won twice, compared with one victory for PSV, while the other match ended in a draw.

Despite that record, PSV have scored more goals across those encounters, with seven compared with Porto’s five.

Porto under pressure after two defeats

Porto’s start to the Champions League has left them with no margin for error. The Dragons lost 2-0 at home to Manchester City in their opening match before suffering a 3-2 defeat away to Real Betis.

Those two results leave FC Porto without a point, making victory against PSV essential if they are to prevent their qualification prospects from becoming increasingly difficult.

PSV Eindhoven have also struggled to make an impression in the competition. Peter Bosz’s side began with a 1-1 home draw against Shakhtar Donetsk, then lost 1-0 away to RB Leipzig.

The Dutch club have one point from their opening two fixtures and will arrive in Portugal looking for their first Champions League win of the season.
