Apollon faces a seemingly unsolvable task.
It was probably planned more for the first leg of the UEFA Europa League qualifying play-offs. Create a good starting position for the home game, the chance to keep alive - both the Cypriots have not succeeded. In a game in which the guests arrived in the Dutch Eindhoven as a clear outsider on the court, the quality difference was quite clear.

The hosts tried to keep up and did not shy away from playing in front. There was respect for the "big guy" from Eindhoven, but there was no sign of fear. But the efforts remained unrewarded, the counter-play of the guests began to bear fruit only late, but one could not take the lead. One came to graduations themselves, 5 in number, only 3 of them went in the direction of goal. The team tried hard, did not hide, but had to accept the first goal shortly after the break. In minute 47 they conceded after a fast-running counterattack the 0: 1. From then on, the game was in the hands of PSV Eindhoven.

The guests controlled the game, leaving the hosts only 44% possession and were relentless in the conclusion. Despite a really good performance, you have to be satisfied with a 0: 3 at the end, it could have been even clearer. For the second leg that means you have to put everything in a balance. At least 3 goals have to be scored in order to force at least one extra time, a goal prevents a prolongation and raises the goal balance to 5. In round 3 of the qualification one could celebrate a 3: 1 victory against FK Austria Wien at home. The first leg in Austria could be won 1: 2 also. One will have to try again to push the game forward. The difficulty will be to allow no gate at the same time. Apollon Limassol is definitely outrageous in the game. A goal is the Cypriots but quite daring, they have scored in the previous Europa League qualification in each, except the last game at least one goal.

Going for a second leg favorite is one thing, going home 3-0 at home is a different story. The first step is done for the PSV. You have clearly won the home game, which prevents potentially dangerous away goals. Thus one comes with good feeling and confidence to Cyprus. Especially games against supposedly "smaller", can be fatal for some favorites. The danger of underestimating and being surprised by the opponent has already caused many a favorite to stumble, PSV Eindhoven has not. In a rather convincing manner, the guests were brought under control in the first leg. After a somewhat wait-and-see game, they took over the scepter after the break and posted a clear result.

The big difference lies in the efficiency of the opportunity utilization. PSV scored 8 shots, 3 were held, 3 went into the goal. In a short but successful urge phase, within 15 minutes, you have turned a 0-0 debacle into a satisfying, definite 3: 0. This clearly shows the class difference. You could as you had, you could say. PSV was safe in the back and left the opponents few rooms. With a good passing game and a possession of 56%, one left in the end no doubt who went as a favorite in the race. For the second leg you will probably start again rather wait-and-see, wait for possible counter chances and the probably all-important away goal.

Bet Tip and Forecast
Free soccer tips
In this game, the role of favorite is relatively clear for us, the bookmakers see this a little differently. For a Tip 2 odds can be played at 2.00. PSV may not be consistent, but victory should still be possible. Apollon will not hide, the Cypriots are quite capable of scoring a goal, so a bet on both teams-yes can be a good option. The hosts have to score at least 3 goals, which also opens for PSV rooms, a bet on over 2.5 goals seems also interesting here. For brave of you can also play a Double Chance 1 / X, where we do not think that Apollon can bring in a victory, the draw is quite possible. Our personal tip remains: Tip 2.

PSV is almost certain of the group stage of the Europa League. The Brabanders defend a 3-0 lead on Thursday, against Apollon Limassol.
Apollon Limassol:
Initially the Cypriot Apollon Limassol had matters under control in Eindhoven last week. Limassol was certainly not overrun by PSV. Apollon remained fairly simple in the first half. However, a phase after the rest ensured that everything became different. The Cypriots saw the home club scoring three times within a short time, reducing the chances of participating in the group phase.
Free soccer tips
A goal in Eindhoven could have slightly increased the chance of success. Now the Cypriots face a very difficult task. A repeat of last season’s stunt – when the group stage was reached – is currently far away. Apollon has still not played a domestic game this season. Thursday’s match against PSV will be the eighth European of the season.

PSV Eindhoven:
PSV provided itself with an excellent starting position for the placement for the group stage of the Europa League. After the elimination in the preliminary rounds of the Champions League, the Europa League certainly feels like a consolation prize, but it is better than nothing. Moreover, the merits in the second European club tournament are not bad either. In addition, players can play individually in the spotlight should PSV get far into the tournament.

Trainer Mark van Bommel and his team got rest from the KNVB this weekend, so they were able to prepare well for the return to Cyprus. The current situation at PSV is not entirely ideal, since quite a few players are missing due to injuries. For example, Steven Bergwijn did not travel to Cyprus. Bruma is also missing in the selection of the people from Brabant. In addition, there are players who have not been available for a long time.

The islanders managed to defeat three opponents and lost only a meeting of six. First, the "whites and blues" defeated Kauno Zalgiris of Lithuania twice without any problems. Then it was the hardest stage, because the Irish Shamrock could only win in extra time. Unexpectedly easy, the Cypriots passed Austria, they beat the boys from Vienna and at home and abroad.

To be honest, I expected the Dutch to do better, but lost in the first match of the Champions League qualifying campaign against Basel in a total of two games. Although the "pawns" have lost only after the away goals rule, I tell them that they did not deserve to qualify for the next round. The opponent was better, if not in the game, then in the mood and the commitment in the field.

In the Europa League, he was a little disappointed, the team could send in more than 180 minutes of play only one ball into the gate of modest Högesunds. The guys from Eindhoven played well in defense, so a goal was enough to reach the next round.

First game
He did not convince PSV of his game a week ago, despite winning a big victory, as it is not worth making a goal in the first 45 minutes of a favorite with his local fans. It's good that Mark Van Bommel had a high-pitched conversation during the break. The players heard him and immediately began to act very actively, and the guests did not seem prepared for such a turn of events, which caused the Cypriots to fail. The Dutch scored three goals in 15 minutes. After that they started to play again in economy mode and brought the thing to victory.

Imanol Idyakes plays after the 4-2-3-1 scheme, but opted for a 4-3-3 formation against PSV and opted for their defensive option, as almost the entire midfield is more about the defense than the attack was. As you can see, such a decision seemed right for the time being, but then came exactly in the 15th minute, which decided on the outcome of the meeting.
Free soccer picks
For Van Bommel, 4-3-3 is a familiar option, and he does not mind playing with two defensive midfielders. As you can see, the PSV is also trying to think about the defense of their goal, even for the not so strong opponents.
The heat, the ability of the Cypriots to play in their home country and the not so good form of Eindhoven at the beginning of the season make me bet on the hosts, because the PSV does not have to face additional burdens and injury risks after a big home win because the infirmary is already full.

Apollo made a difficult journey before joining PSV - Sofroni's Augustis team knocked out three opponents from the tournament. "Zalgiris" and "Austria" did not show much resistance, but they had to tinker with "Shamrock Rovers" - they only managed to work overtime. Nevertheless it will be very difficult to join the group "White and Blue". Achieving three goals with the PSV is an impossible task.

The PSV could not justify the fans' predictions and flew out of the Champions League in Basel. He beat him in his field 3-2 and lost 1: 2 away. With the Norwegian Haugesund the fight as such did not work out - after a 1-0 away win the team of Mark van Bommel kept the zeros at home. A 3-0 victory against Apollo virtually guarantees the red-white participation in the group stage.
