Prediction: 2-3
PSV
Letzigrund Stadion will host Thursday’s Europa League game between Zurich and PSV. The Swiss outfit do not seem to be competitive at this level, with the team losing to both Arsenal and Bodo in the first two group games, and, as a result, the bookies see them as underdogs in this clash. Defender Ilan Sauter continues to miss out with injury for the hosts.
PSV, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a shocking Eredivisie loss to Cambuur (0-3), and it seem as if they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Both Savio and Vertessen are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while De Jong, Madueke, van Ginkel, Fofana, and Boscagli remain on the sidelines with injuries. It has to be noted that the two teams meet for the first time ever in the competition.
