Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
PSV
Match Time & Date:
10/03/2022
21:00
Prediction: 2-0
FC Copenhagen
PSV play host to Copenhagen at their Philips Stadion in the Conference League last 16, first leg. PSV somehow survived Maccabi Tel Aviv in the previous round, but their brilliant form in the Eredivisie is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Copenhagen. Fit-again Israel international Zahavi should keep his place in the starting XI after finding the net in a 3-1 win over Heracles, while Gakpo is pushing for a start.
The Danes, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in the national championship, but seeing that PSV have turned their Philips Stadion into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors will return to Copenhagen empty-handed. When the two teams met in Eindhoven (Europa League) 13 years ago PSV defeated Copenhagen thanks to Jonathan Reis’ goal, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Player (Mario Gotze):
Mario Gotze is a German midfielder, who played for Ronsberg and Eintrach Hombruch during his youth career before joining Borussia Dortmund in 2001. He made a great progress during his spell at the Borussia Dortmund’s youth academy and on 21 November, 2009 he made his Bundesliga debut for the Millionaires.

Highlighted Team (FC Copenhagen):
