It has been a near flawless start to the season for PSV. Defensively, however, they do seem slightly shaky, only keeping one clean sheet.
Union SG Last 5 Matches:
USG have proven that last season’s triumph was no fluke, having already defeated the likes of Gent and Anderlecht. Moreover, they have failed to make a clean sheet just once so far, however, playing a European giant like PSV is no mean feat.

Football Park’s Best Bet: BTTS @ 1.56 - Recent form suggests confidence in a close game. Both sides have proven they can score goals, and both sides would really hope to get off to a good start in Europe, so the match could quite open as the game goes on.
Ivan Perisic (PSV): The European journeyman is used to play on the biggest stage in the continent. He should provide his team with the experience to get them through their opener. His four Eredivisie goal contributions in as many games show he could also help by adding goals to the count.
Adem Zorgane (Union SG): The best performer for the Belgian outfit so far this season, he has a goal and two assists in his four matches.
