Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
St Gilloise
PSV will be aiming to kickstart their Champions League campaign in style when they face St Gilloise on Tuesday evening. PSV quickly bounced back from an embarrassing 2-0 loss to Telstar, with the team beating NEC Nijmegen 5-3 at the weekend and, no doubt, this triumph gave them a confidence boost. Armando Obispo limped off with injury at the weekend, with fellow defender Ryan Flamingo likely to step up. Summer signing Alassane Plea remains in the recovery room, alongside Mauro Junior and Wessel Kuhn.
The Belgian champions, on the other hand, recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Dender at the weekend, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Eindhoven. Given PSV’s greater experience on the European stage compared to Royale Union SG, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home team. Ecuador midfielder Kevin Rodriguez is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the last league match, while forward Raul Florucz misses out through suspension.
Highlighted Player (Ivan Perisic):
Ivan Perisic is a Croatian football player born on 2nd of February 1989 in Split. Perisic started his football career in the youth of Hajduk Split where FC Sochaux discovered him by a very young age. After playing for FC Sochaux, Club Brugge, Borussia Dortmund and Wolfsburg Inter Milan transferred him for approximately 17 million euro.
Perisic made his debut for the Croatian national team in 2011. Perisic played in all big tournaments so far such as the EURO 2012 and the World Cup 2014. In several EURO 2016 qualification matches Perisic was the captain of the national team.
Perisic is known for being a strong right-footed attacking midfielder. Because of his strength and vision it’s hard to win a duel against Perisic. One of Perisic’ biggest weaknesses is his lack of technique which is required to play for the biggest football clubs. Perisic won several prizes in his career but didn’t always play a big role in them. In season 2010/2011 Perisic was topscorer of the highest Belgian football division scoring 22 goals.
