Form
PSV have won four and drawn one of their last five matches, scoring 17 goals and conceding seven across that run. Their most recent result was a 3-1 win at Ajax in the Eredivisie, a performance that confirmed their position as the form team in the Dutch top flight. Earlier in the campaign they put six past FC Utrecht and five past FC Groningen, demonstrating consistent attacking output. Their only dropped points came in a 2-2 draw with Fortuna Sittard in August.
Shakhtar have won three and lost one of their last five, with one result unavailable for goal total calculation. Their most recent outing was a 2-1 win over Karpaty in the Ukrainian Premier League, following a 2-0 home defeat to Polissya Zhytomyr. They beat FC Kharkiv and Epitsentr Kamianets-Podilskyi in successive away fixtures before that loss, and opened the run with a 5-1 victory over Kudrivka.
Head-to-Head Record
The only recorded meeting between these two clubs in this dataset came in the Champions League on November 27, 2024, when PSV Eindhoven beat Shakhtar Donetsk 3-2 at home. That result is the sole head-to-head reference available, making it difficult to draw broader historical patterns from the data provided.
