Prediction: 0-2
PSV
Following a thrilling 4-4 draw at Philips Stadion, Copenhagen and PSV face each other at Parken Stadium in the Conference League last 16. Copenhagen proved their worth in the first leg, but seeing that away goal rule is cancelled, the Danes face a difficult task in Thursday’s showdown. A man to watch in the home team will be Pep Biel, who scored a brace in the first leg, while Khouma Babacar is back from suspension.
PSV, on the other hand, recorded a very important 1-0 win over Utrecht to keep their Eredivisie title hopes alive. Fit-again attacker Zahavi has found his goal-scoring touch of late, meaning that the opposition defenders should have him at bay, and seeing that Roger Schmidt can count on key players for the second leg, we are going to put our money on the visiting side.
