PSV take on the visitors Rangers in the second leg of UEFA Champions League qualification finals. First Leg result: 2-2. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 24th at Philips Stadion (Eindhoven).
PSV entered the new season completely renewed. And it's not even a matter of serious reshuffles among the players - in Eindhoven, as in most Dutch clubs, this happens all the time. But then the coach also changed, and instead of the experienced Roger Schmidt, van Nistelrooy was appointed. And Ruud, with his legend as a football player, hadn’t really coached anyone at a high level before. However, the ex-forward managed to start right away from the trophy. His team beat Ajax 5-3 in Amsterdam in the Super Cup. They "red-white" played well in the Champions League qualification. They have already managed to overcome a difficult opponent, Monaco. Both fights with the Monegasques ended in draws, and newcomer De Jong scored in extra time. In Glasgow, the teams played again, scoring an equal number of goals.

Rangers had pleased their fans in recent years. First, Steven Gerrard finally brought the Light Blues back to first place in the Premiership. The Grand has waited 10 years for an opportunity to outflank his enemy and neighbor, Celtic. A new coach, van Bronkhorst, led the Scots to the Europa League final. There, Eintracht won only in the penalty shootout. A new achievement of the historical grandee could be a return to the group stage of the Champions League. In qualifying, it all started with a setback: Rangers lost 0-2 to Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium. But it turned out to compensate at home, crushingly defeating the enemy! But with PSV at Ibrox they played relatively unsuccessfully. The Dutch, who opened the scoring in the match drew on the road 2-2. However, now the number of goals on the road does not matter. The one who can win in Eindhoven will go to the main round of the main European Cup tournament.
The Rangers have so far held the advantage in head-to-head: they have 3 wins with a single loss in now 7 meetings. But in the only duel of this century, in 2011 in the 1/8 of the Europa League, PSV turned out to be stronger. Then he scored the only away goal after 0-0 at home. Bookmakers believe that PSV should win the fight. But the Rangers will not give up so easily - we are waiting for "more than 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
