PSV hosts Midtjylland in the first leg of the Champions League qualification semifinals. The match will be played on Tuesday, August 3rd at Philips Stadion (Eindhoven)
The famous Dutch PSV showed a great game at the previous qualification stage in the UEFA Champions League. The club from Eindhoven hammered the frightened Turkish Galatasaray (5- 1 and 2-1). However, the Red-Whites conceded a goal in both matches. A strict game in defense has never been the trump card of the teams from the Netherlands, and PSV is by no means an exception to the rule in this case. In the matches against non-top European names, PSV tries to act according to the classic principle of the Brazilian national team - "you will score as much as you can, and we will score against you as much as we want." That was again clearly demonstrated in the confrontation with Galatasaray.

If we consider Midtjylland, then it probably really enjoyed hanging out in the company of the strongest names of the Old World in the last European season. In this connection, the Danish vice-champion has already made a solid step forward towards its second consecutive promotion to the Champions League group stage. The Wolves unexpectedly eliminated the famous Scottish Celtic in the previous stage (a 1-1 draw in Glasgow and a 2-1 victory in extra time at home). As we can see, the Danes have not forgotten how to score goals against opponents of a respectable European level. If we still recall the attacking attempts of Midtjylland last year, it managed to break through the rear of the famous English Liverpool and strong Italian Atalanta.
In my opinion, bookmakers underestimate the offensive condition of very dangerous visitors. By the way, the Wolves managed to offend the goalkeeper of the eminent Ajax in both matches of the last Champions League group round. And it was an even stronger opponent than the club from Eindhoven. The visitors will probably manage to score.
Prediction for the match: Midtjylland to score over 0.5 goals
