Prediction: 1-1
PSV
All eyes will be on Lerkendal Stadion when Rosenborg and PSV face each other in the Europa League playoffs. Rosenborg set up a meeting with PSV by beating Breidablik, Ventspils and Alanyaspor, and, no doubt, they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against PSV. Talented goalkeeper Rasmus Sandberg remains in the recovery room for the hosts, while forward Andreas Helmersen should recover in time to face PSV.
Anyhow, given Rosenborg’s attacking potential, we are positive that the Norwegians are going to find the net in the decider. The Rood-witten did well to roll over Mura 5-1 in the third qualifying round, and seeing that they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Thursday’s football match, both teams to score betting option should be considered. The likes of Erick Gabriel Gutierez and Armando Obispo are likely to miss the game through injury for the visiting team.
