PSV Eindhoven hosts Apollon Limassol in the first leg of the Europa League qualification finals. The match will be played on Thursday, August 22nd at Philips Stadion (Eindhoven)
Having lost to Basel in the Champions League, the Red-White Army migrated to the Europa League. Eindhoven passed Norwegian Haugesund in the semifinals with a strain. Having won with a minimum 0:1 score away, PSV finished the second home match in a draw and without goals. Probably, the Dutch championship that has started has left its mark on the performance, where Eindhoven is doing pretty well so far. The Peasants somehow faltered after losing their place in the Champions League.

Cypriots are playing only in the qualification so far. The local arena will make its adjustments later. Apollon began its journey with the 1/8 finals. It played with Lithuanian Kauno Zhalgiris and coped with it without experiencing any problems. Having won with a 0:2 score away, the Legend completed the romp in the home game - 4:0. In the quarterfinals, Apollon met Shamrock Rovers and had some difficulties in a foreign field. The away match was lost - 2:1. However, the club found the strength to rectify the situation by winning the second leg with the same score. In extra time, Apollon was more fortunate, scored and reached the semifinals. A pair of semifinal matches with Austria ended in a victory of the Cypriots. Having performed away successfully (1:2), the Legend won even with a larger score at home - 3:1. If it were not for the failure in the duel with the Irish, the performance of the Cypriots could be considered excellent.
The attack of the Cypriots allows us to hope for their goal scored. Moreover, Apollon has already survived with the help of the away goal. Should we expect the Dutch to keep at bay and not concede? In my opinion, PSV will convert its attempts with great pleasure and try to win with a big score than vice versa. I make a choice in favor of mutual scoring.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
