PSV vs Rangers. Which team will advance to the Champions League group stage?
On Wednesday, August 24, the second leg between PSV and Rangers will take place at the Philips Stadium in the play-off round of the Champions League qualification.
PSV in the first match of this confrontation managed to open the scoring in the game, but eventually got away from defeat only at the end of the second half. It was very important for the Dutch team not to lose in that match in order to leave themselves a good chance of reaching the Champions League group stage before the match at their stadium.
In a future meeting, PSV will definitely try to play much more reliably at their gates and is unlikely to allow the opponent so much. In addition, the home team needs to improve their chances and the quality of the game in attack, if PSV really plans to be among the best teams in the tournament.
Rangers
Rangers should be praised for the first match between the teams, because the team managed to bounce back during the meeting and was very close to winning. But even a draw at home leaves the Scottish team with fairly good chances to advance.
In the second leg, the Rangers will again try to play their football, which the team consistently imposes on opponents of any level. It is very important for the Scots to score first in the new match, not to lose the fight in midfield and not to make too many mistakes at home.
