PSV Eindhoven vs Midtjylland Prediction

PSV Eindhoven have already sold star forward Donyell Malen this summer, with the Netherlands international joining Borussia Dortmund. Right-back Denzel Dumfries looks likely to follow, and replacing the duo will not be an easy task for manager Roger Schmidt.

Midtjylland, on the other hand, have earned praise for their recruitment and performances. They sold Nigerian midfielder Frank Onyeka to Brentford a few days ago, but the likes of Evander and Awer Mabil are talented players capable of making an impact.

PSV Eindhoven should win here.

Prediction: PSV Eindhoven 2-0 Midtjylland
