PSV vs BATE Borisov Champions League
The PSV is much higher than Bate Borisov but the away game away could hide more than a pitfall. In some ways it was so, as the Bate Borisov scored two goals, but the PSV has done better scoring in three times confirming its best offensive potential. The victory was deserved: fifteen shots towards the opposing goal, two stakes and a fairly clear dominance.
In this return match the superiority of the PSV should be even more evident. For Bate Borisov, who won the Belarusian championship twelve times in a row, after the disappointing results in the last few years in the Champions League, to have reached this point has already been a good goal.
The strength of Psv
Phillip Cocu recently left PSV, a club that led to the conquest of three editions of the Eredivisie and, more generally, six trophies. After the national title won last season, the Eindhoven native coach ended an extraordinary cycle and moved to Fenerbahce: his place was taken by Mark Van Bommel, who was a very tactical median. Who plays in that role with good results, often becomes an excellent technician: time will tell if it will be so again.
Van Bommel’s official debut in this adventure coincided with a penalty kick-out in last weekend’s Super Cup final against Feyenoord on Saturday. But then there were three good victories in the league: 4-0 on Utrecht, 2-1 on Fortuna Sittard and the same result last Saturday on the field of Pec Zwolle. Even the preseason had gone very well. The rose at its disposal is also equipped to do well in Europe. Full-backs Santiago Arias and Joshua Brenet have been replaced with Denzel Dumfries and Angeliño, two worthy substitutes of their respective predecessors. There was also space for a couple of additions to the center of the backlog. This is Trent Sainsbury and Nick Viergever, however, not too convincing: the former has often shown numerous limitations, while the second is recovering from physical problems. In attack, the confirmations of Luuk De Jong, Steven Bergwijn, Hirving Lozano and the promising Maximiliano Romero appear important.
