A tough battle that one of the important Dutch football teams like PSV will have this Thursday when at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven receives the visit of a team also with history in Greek football such as Olympiacos, where both will seek to get into the eighth final of the Europa League.
Things for those led by Roger Schmidt did not go as expected in the first leg and they lost by a clear 4-2, although for many, those two goals allow the Dutch cast to arrive with possibilities of turning the series around, since a 2-0 win this Thursday and you will have achieved your goal.
The good thing is that last weekend they were able to recover and beat Vitesse 3-1, a result that not only put him in second place in the Eredivisie with six points less than Ajax, but also allowed him to leave behind a streak of three games without winning where they lost two of them, and to a large extent this is due to how weak the team has been in the defensive zone, since they have conceded nine goals in their last four games, and well they have to improve this to carry out the commitment.
▪️On the positive side, it is that PSV Eindhoven will be local, where they have won their last three games and all with a difference of two goals or more, which is what they are aiming for this Thursday.
▪️Possible lineup PSV: Yvon Mvogo; Denzel Dumfries, Jordan Teze, Olivier Boscagli, Philipp Max; Pablo Rosario, Ryan Thomas; Mario Gotze, Mauro Junior; They were Zahavi, Donyell Malen.
▪️Of course, the Greek team knows that it has to improve its performance as a visitor, especially in its outings for European competition where it has lost nine of its last eleven games between the Champions League and the European League.
▪️Possible alignment Olympiacos Piraeus: Jose Sa; Kenny Lala, Mathieu Balbuena, Osseynou Ba, Oleg Reabciuk; Yann M’Vila, Andreas Bouchalakis; Giorgios Masouras, Mady Camara, Bruma; Youssef El-Arabi.
Football Prediction of the Day PSV vs Olympiacos Piraeus
For their part, those led by Pedro Martins march calmly in the Greek Super League, since despite settling for a lukewarm draw to a goal at home against Aris, the Olympiacos team is at the top of the table with a difference of twelve points on his closest pursuer which is precisely PAOK.
As for the first leg of this round of the Europa League, the Olympiacos team enforced the locality and won the clear 4-2 victory and thus these results have allowed them to leave behind what was the fall in the derby against Panathinaikos by 2-1, a defeat that has also been the only one in their last eighteen official games where they won fourteen of them and hopes to continue with that performance in a Europa League where in the previous edition they remained in the round of 16 being eliminated by the English cast of Wolverhampton.
