Apollon Limassol vs PSV Eindhoven
Europa League Qualification
Date: Thursday, 29 August 2019
Kick-off at 18:00 UK / 19:00 CET
Venue: GSP Stadium (Nicosia)
Apolon
Apollon can count on exclusive dedication to all European League qualification matches. The version of the Cyprus Championship 2019/2020 started just last weekend, but the team still feels relieved with their inaugural match so they can focus on efforts to react.
This is not the first time they have been disadvantaged in a dispute. This happened earlier in the third round of qualifying, but the situation was much easier.
They were defeated by Irish Shamrock Rovers 2-1 in the first leg. Even so, they failed to reverse the scenario. What they do the most is tie results that lead to disputes about overtime. In extra time, score 1 to 0.
In the previous stage, they had surpassed Kauno Zalgiris from Lithuania. Then they defeated Austria Vienna, from Austria.
PSV
For PSV, a place in the Europa League is a consolation prize. Dutch runners-up start their Champions League qualification campaign but only in the first round. Thye fell against Basel from Switzerland for taking a loss in the away goal-breaking goal criteria.
In the Europa League, they passed Norwegian Haugesund, won 2-0 at a rival stadium and then tried to manage their advantage on their pitch, where they held off a goalless draw.
Over the weekend, they got Eredivisie help. Their match for the fourth round of the 2019/2020 Dutch Championship was postponed so they could count on weeks of free duel preparation for Thursday.
With seven points, sixth place in the national league. Has two fewer points than leader Willem II.
With the vast advantage built in the first match, PSV has no reason to force a strong step in the re-encounter with Apollon, who must take the initiative to seek victory.
Thus, predictions for the host's success appear to be the best guess for Thursday's duel for the return of the playoffs which will show the final qualification for the 2019/2020 European League version.
Apollon Limassol vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction
The team will show a mindset at a very different end about the game. The game will be a win for the hosts but it is clearly out of control with three goals behind. The match will definitely see some fireworks because both teams will attack heavily. However, the host has only scored 1.6 goals per match from the last five matches.
This statistic shows that the score will be less, and will reach under 3.5 goals in ninety minutes.
The visitors have won the last two away matches in their overall match. They will be more confident and conspicuous because they already have an advantage in the hand. This lead will give them an edge in the game to score early goals and keep leads safe without risk.
We can expect the home team to fight and lose at the end of ninety minutes and give visitors a chance in the league group stage.
