PSV Eindhoven and Borussia Dortmund will lock horns with each other in the UEFA Champions League this match. The first leg of the Round of 16 tie between the Eredivisie club and the Bundesliga outfit will be held at the Philips Stadion and is scheduled to kick off at 8 pm UK time on Tuesday.
PSV Eindhoven

PSV finished second in Group B with nine points from six matches, four points behind winners Arsenal. That they got ahead of Lens and Sevilla in the group was a very big fear.
Peter Bosz’s side will know that winning against Borussia Dortmund is not going to be easy, but if they win the first leg at home on Tuesday, then they will have a big chance. PSV are in good form as well. They have lost just games in all competitions so far this season.
