PSV Eindhoven vs Barcelona: Match preview, team news, predictions, betting odds, venue & where to watch details | UEFA Champions League 2018-19
A victory against Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven will ensure Barcelona qualify from B as group toppers, while a slip-up today and victory for Inter Milan will see both clubs tied on 10 points.
PSV Eindhoven on the other hand will be praying for a miracle as they still have a very outside chance of qualifying for the knockout stages.
PSV must win both their next matches and hope Tottenham win their match against Inter Milan, and lose their last match against Barcelona.
