PSV Eindhoven

Despite leading the Lightbulbs to their 11th KNVB Cup by beating arch-rivals Ajax Amsterdam 3:2 in the shootout and helping them finish in second place, which could potentially mean a place in the Champions League this season, Ruud van Nistelrooy decided to part ways with the club last season amid rumors of a lack of support from management and a revolt from several players.

The hierarchy has now turned to Peter Bosz, who succeeds Ruud van Nistelrooy, to lead the club as manager. His first competitive match in charge witnessed him lead the Lightbulbs to their third successive Johan Cruyff Shield silverware as a new signing Noa Lang's lone goal was enough to defeat reigning champions Feyenoord (0:1) in a match that marked the start of a new season.

That success would follow them in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League as they convincingly defeated Austria's SK Sturm Graz 4:1 in the first leg, bringing to light their unwavering dominance at home.

.

Probable Starting XI

Walter Benitez; Jordan Teze, Andre Ramalho Silva, Olivier Boscagli, Patrick Van Aanholt, Ibrahim Sangare, Isaac Babadi, Joey Veerman, Johan Bakayoko, Luuk de Jong, Noa Lang.

FC Utrecht

The Cupfighters were in the driving seat of their own destiny in the previous season as they bagged a Europa League qualifier spot after concluding the season in seventh place with 54 points.

Luck wasn't on Michael Silberbauer's side when it came to the semi-finals two legged play-offs of Europa League qualifiers, as they bowed out following a 5-4 defeat on penalties at the hands of Sparta Rotterdam. They lost the first leg at home by a 2:1 scoreline only to win the second leg 1:0 thanks to Nick Viergever's goal in the 80th minute to bring the aggregate score to a 2:2 draw.

With four preseason games played, they did just fine to find some balance with their performance, recording two losses and two wins while keeping two clean sheets in those wins against Greece's OFI Crete and Spain's Espanyol.

.

Probable Starting XI

Vasilios Barkas; Sean Klaiber, Mike van der Hoorn, Nick Viergever, Marc van de Maarel, Can Bozdogan, Ole Romeny, Jens Toornstra, Bart Ramselaar, Anastasios Douvikas, Othman Boussaid.

Expert Betting Tips

Taking into account PSV Eindhoven's unwavering dominance in this fixture, this could turn out to be a one-sided affair in their favor. With the Lightbulbs winning eight of their last ten home matches, there's little reason not to doubt that the first three points of the new campaign are theirs.

PSV Eindhoven were one of the leading sides in the previous season when it came to their attacking prowess, racking up 89 goals in 34 matches, surpassing arch rivals Ajax Amsterdam (86) and reigning champions Feyenoord (81).

With such a laudable offense at their disposal, we anticipate them to cruise to a comfortable win in front of their supporters, combined with the total exceeding 2.5 goals.
