Galatasaray vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction
Galatasaray will have to be at their very best in order to stand a chance against PSV Eindhoven. They have been active in the transfer market recently and are set to sign right-back Sacha Boey and left-back Patrick van Aanholt, but the game against the Eredivisie giants might come too early for the full-back duo.
PSV Eindhoven, on the other hand, are set to lose two of their most important players. Donyell Malen is very close to signing for Borussia Dortmund, while interest in Denzel Dumfries is extremely high and he is expected to leave as well. Manager Roger Schmidt relied heavily on the duo last season and it remains to e seen how they are replaced.
PSV Eindhoven should be able to win here.
Prediction: Galatasaray 1-2 PSV Eindhoven
