Head-to-head statistics PSV - Villarreal
PSV Team Overview
Under Peter Bosz, PSV had a superb season - winning the Eredivisie title with ease. This summer's transfer window has been handled well: Ismaël Saïbari went to Bayern for €50 million, while Matěj Kovář and Sven Mijnans came in for a combined €18 million. Pre-season results have been mixed but high-scoring - a draw with Antwerp (1-1), then wins over Raków (3-2) and Union Saint-Gilloise (7-3).
Match Results: PSV
Villarreal Team Overview
The Spanish club is going through a major clear-out. Most of the departures were from the first team: Dani Parejo, Thomas Partey, Alfonso Pedraza, Juan Foyth, Rafa Marín and Alfonso González have all left - every one of them on a free. The Yellow Submarine haven't brought anyone in yet. The pre-season start hasn't been great either - one game played so far, against Benfica, and a 0-2 defeat to show for it.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
At this stage, PSV look like the more cohesive and settled side - their championship-winning core is largely intact. Villarreal are dealing with obvious squad issues after losing a number of key players, and the team is still finding its combinations. The Dutch side will have the crowd behind them and should control the tempo. We think this one goes end-to-end and finishes 2-1. We're backing a PSV win.
