Tip and bets
We are expecting a high-scoring game here. Both clubs have a ton of experience in European competitions, so opponents will be extremely motivated for the decisive qualifying match. Both sides scored many goals in their latest matches, so we are expecting the same result here. In three of last five matches PSV scored four or five goals. Rangers scored at least two goals in each of six latest matches.
Our prediction - total over three goals
But if we have to choose a favourite, PSV have a slight edge here. Dutch team is looking better than their opponents right now, van Nistelrooy's men even managed to hammer Ajax in the Super Cup. The Red-Whites are unbeaten for eight consecutive matches. Rangers are not looking unbeatable right now, so they are unlikely to get past the Dutch club.
Our second bet is on PSV to win the match
