Prediction: 1-1
Sevilla
PSV will look to overcome a three-goal deficit in the Europa League tie with Sevilla when they take on PSV in Eindhoven on Thursday. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s troops face an uphill task in the return leg, but, one thing is for sure, they will leave their hearts on the field. A man to watch in the home team will be experienced centre-forward Luuk de Jong, who found the net in a 2-2 draw with Utrecht on Sunday, while all El-Ghazi, Fofana, Hazard, and Savio should miss out with injuries.
Los Sevillanos, on the other hand, are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in the return leg, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on under 2.5 goals. Both Jordan and Gudelj are back from domestic bans, while all Corona, Marcao, Papu Gomez, and Rekik have been struggling with injuries of late.
