PSV Team News
PSV finished the season in second place, seven points behind champions Feyenoord. This position secured their qualification for the Champions League, and their opponent in the first round of the “league path” is the Austrian Sturm.
The home team played quality games in the preparatory period, recording four victories (BW Linz 2:1, Augsburg 2:1, Einghoven 3:1, and Nottm Forest 1:0) and only one defeat in the first match against St. Truiden 1:2. However, in that match, PSV replaced the first team at halftime, which affected the final result.
PSV played its first official match this season in the final of the Dutch Super Cup, in which traditionally, the champion of that country and the winner of the national cup meet. Of course, their opponent in that match was Feyenoord, and PSV won 1:0, thanks to Noah Lang’s goal in the 79th minute of the game.

Sturm Graz Team News
Sturm, like PSV, finished the previous season in second place, with seven points less than undisputed Salzburg.
In the preparatory period, the guests played as many as nine friendly matches, with a fantastic performance of eight wins and only one loss, against Strasbourg at 3:0. What further instills confidence in the team from Graz is the fact that in that period, they had a total goal difference of 27:8.
The good results in the preliminary matches were also transferred to the domestic championship, so Sturm recorded two convincing victories in the first two rounds. In the first match, they defeated Austria Vienna away 3:0, while in the second round, they defeated LASK 2:0, thus showing that they want to go one step further this season and end Salzburg’s dominance in the domestic championship.

If we add to that the experience of playing European matches, as well as the quality of the team, which is certainly on the home side, it is clear why we give PSV the advantage in this match.
