Match Prediction: PSV 2-1 Union Saint-Gilloise

PSV's recent form suggests a team capable of high-scoring victories at home, as evidenced by their 4-2 win against FC Groningen and a 6-1 thrashing of Sparta Rotterdam. However, their unexpected loss to Telstar indicates potential vulnerabilities, particularly in defence. 

Union Saint-Gilloise has shown consistent performance with strong home wins and a solid away draw, indicating a balanced team that can compete effectively. The Belgians' ability to secure clean sheets, as seen in their last four games, could pose a challenge to PSV's attacking prowess.

Despite Union Saint-Gilloise's defensive solidity, PSV's home advantage and offensive capabilities might just tip the scales. The Dutch side's recent high-scoring games at home suggest they could exploit any defensive lapses from Union Saint-Gilloise. 

However, Union's disciplined approach and recent form indicate they are likely to keep the scoreline close. Expect a competitive match with PSV edging it due to their home form.

PSV's recent form has been a mix of dominant home victories and an unexpected loss, highlighting their offensive strength but also defensive frailties.

However, the 0-2 loss to Telstar suggests that PSV must address their defensive issues to secure a win in this crucial Champions League match.
