Granada CF vs PSV Prediction & Betting tips
On Thursday evening, PSV continues its hunt for a place in the knockout phase of the Europa League with the difficult away match against Granada. The Spaniards are still unbeaten in a European context, and can secure their place against the Eindhoven team in the next round.
Granada:
Granada will make its debut in the Europa League this season. The very first European adventure has so far turned out to be a great fairy tale for the Spaniards, because thanks to ten points from four group matches, wintering in the Europa League is almost within. If the red and white survive against PSV on Thursday evening, their European mission will be successful.
Still, the battery seems a bit empty at the moment at Granada, which has three defeats in a row in LaLiga with the consequences of the overflowing playing calendar. Of course trainer Diego Martinez does not have the luxury of a strong bank, so both in his own country and in Europe he mainly appeals to well-known names. The fatigue factor is therefore increasingly starting to play a role, as also last weekend during the 3-1 defeat at Celta de Vigo. The Andalusians had to limit themselves to countering, and there is a good chance that that will also be their battle plan on Thursday evening.
PSV Eindhoven:
PSV crept through the eye of the needle last week by turning a 0-2 deficit against PAOK into a 3-2 victory in their own Philips Stadium. A crucial victory for the people of Eindhoven, who could almost certainly have written European wintering on their stomach in the event of a defeat. Now the team of trainer Roger Schmidt suddenly has the qualification for the knockout stage of the Europa League completely in their own hands, although it can no longer afford a single mistake in its remaining two group matches.
That will be difficult enough, because PSV traditionally has a hard time against Spanish clubs. Of the 31 previous encounters against Spanish teams, the Eindhoven team only won four, and they never even managed to win at all on Spanish soil. It is therefore not surprising that Schmidt chose to give almost his entire starting team a rest last weekend. PSV almost got the bill for that at home against Sparta, although substitute Donyell Malen saved two instances as a substitute from eleven meters in the final phase: 1-0. It was certainly not convincing what PSV showed, but the three points remained in Eindhoven. In and against Granada, however, we will again see the familiar PSV.
