Monaco vs PSV Match Preview

Monaco host PSV Eindhoven in the first leg of the third qualifying round of the Champions League.

The Monegasques, under Philippe Clement, managed to secure qualification for the biggest club competition by running on a run of nine wins and one draw in their last ten league games. In these ten games the people enjoyed the football as with the exception of three of them both teams scored goals indicative of the attacking philosophy of the hosts. In addition, in the seven friendlies they played, five times both teams scored and two of them ended with a score of 2-2.

On the contrary, PSV Eindhoven is known by all to be an aggressive team by nature and how could it not be since they are representatives of the Dutch school. With former top scorer Ruud van Nistelrooy now at the helm, they thrashed Ajax with five goals in the recent Super Cup match, showing fluency in scoring but weaknesses at the back after conceding three goals.

Taking into account the above, I expect both teams to score in this match, which is now more likely since the away goal rule that forced the home team to be more careful does not apply. BTTS is valued at 1.67 and I will bet 3 points on it.
