The second round of the 2021-2022 UEFA Champions League playoff continues to play. PSV Eindhoven will against Benfica at home. PSV Eindhoven was beaten by Benfica 2-1 in the first round last week, which made it difficult to qualify for the group stage. However, in a league game at weekend, they won Cambuur 4-1 at home. In addition, the team has a fierce offense at home. They scored 12 goals in 3 home games. The attack rate of 4 goals per game is quite amazing. However, in face of the strong team Benfica, Eindhoven is still needs cautious.
Benfica
Benfica won 2-1 in the first round and took the lead in promotion. The situation is more optimistic. Coupled with the team's recent six consecutive victories and their morale are encouraging. They can score 2 goals per game and have fierce offense. Moreover the team has won 10 consecutive away games recently, which shows the away performance is excellent. They will against Eindhoven at home next round, which may be a fierce battle.
Comprehensive Analysis
There were 4 h2h games between these two sides, and PSV Eindhoven only achieved 1W-1D-2L, resulting in psychological disadvantage. And three of them failed to win in the European games. I'm afraid it's difficult to win even at home. Combined with the data, shows the weak support for Eindhoven -0.5. In addition, the average home win and data of draw of the Handicap increased respectively. Therefore, I personally think Benfica will be unbeaten to promote at least.
