PSV Eindhoven will host Club Brugge on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at the Philips Stadion for the fourth matchday of the group stage of the Champions League. For this encounter, Peter Bosz is expected to field a team similar to the one that convincingly defeated Willem II (7-0) last weekend.

In midfield, Kodai Sano and Mauro Júnior are anticipated to provide balance, with Guus Til positioned slightly ahead. In attack, Ivan Perišić and Ruben van Bommel are expected to play on the wings, while Sven Mijnans could be positioned as the central striker. Ricardo Pepi, returning from injury, might start on the bench.
However, PSV will face several absences. Jerdy Schouten, Paul Wanner, Adamo Nagalo, Sami Ouaissa, Alassane Pléa, and Sam Lammers are reported to be unavailable or not fully recovered. On the Brugge side, defender Joel Ordóñez is also absent.

In midfield, Hugo Vetlesen and Hans Vanaken are anticipated, while Carlos Forbs, Jan Virgili, and Nicolò Tresoldi could lead the offensive play.
