No Champions League for PSV, but the group stage of the Europa League this season. The team of coach Ruud van Nistelrooij starts in the Philips Stadium with a match against the Norwegian FK Bodo Glimt. Will PSV be able to immediately add three points on the European stage? In collaboration with Unibet, Voetbalzone is looking ahead to PSV’s first game in the group stage.
After big victories over Excelsior (1-6) and FC Volendam (7-1) PSV came home on Saturday from a cold fair in Enschede. Mainly thanks to a staggeringly weak first half, FC Twente lost 2-1. So a bad general for the opening match in the Europa League against Bodo Glimt. Luuk de Jong is missing on Thursday due to a muscle injury, which means that Xavi Simons may once again occupy the striker position. PSV does not have to contend with new injuries.

Bodo Glimt has been placed in the PSV group together with favorites Arsenal and FC Zurich. The opponent from Norway currently occupies second place in the Eliteserien, ten points behind leader Molde FK. Just like PSV, Bodo Glimt stranded in the play-offs of the Champions League after a diptych with Dinamo Zagreb (1-0 win and 4-1 defeat). Last season, to everyone’s surprise, they won 6-1 against the later winner AS Roma in the group stage of the Europa League. The Italians took sporting revenge by eliminating Bodo Glimt in the quarterfinals.

Due to the absence of De Jong, it is likely that Van Nistelrooij again gives Simons confidence in the point of the attack. The originally midfielder has impressed in recent weeks with his performances in the Eredivisie and play-offs of the Champions League. Simons is shared top scorer in the Netherlands with six goals, along with teammate Cody Gakpo and Ajax player Steven Bergwijn. PSV will start the meeting with Bodo Glimt on Thursday at 6.45 pm.
Do you think Xavi Simons will also score in the Europa League? The odds for a goal are 3.10!
