PSV Eindhoven

When it comes to competitive matches, Eindhoven are actually doing pretty well, as they now have a 100% record in the contest. Additionally, they scored 13 goals, and conceded thrice, a record they want to extend here. Additionally, in their last two away matches across all contests, Eindhoven were able to record three goals apiece. This just shows the talent this squad has, which they are hopeful to continue. Moreover, it seems like Eindhoven has a good momentum coming into this game. This is the momentum they want to have in this crucial match.
Although Mauro Junior is done serving his two-game continental suspension, he still cannot play here, S he is nursing a knee problem. Patrick van Aanholt on the other hand has an unspecified concern, along with Armando Obispo, and Fredrik Oppegard who are also out.
Rangers
Rangers are coming into this game with hopes of having the same result from last year, eliminating the same opponent. It is not impossible though, as they remain to be unbeaten across all contests in their last four games. They are coming from a 2-1 win against Greenock Morton coming into this game, which gives them confidence. Rangers actually did not have a strong start in their first competitive this season. Fortunately, they were able to bounce back from that unfortunate loss in the Scottish Premiership. Additionally, playing at home is their cup of tea, and now that they are playing at home, it seems like they are the advantage. Now that they are hoping to have an advantage, Rangers are looking to make use of this advantage.
Jose Cifuentes is expected to be fully fit to play in this game. However, Tavernier and Borna Barisic will both miss this match. Ben Davies, and Ridvan Yilmaz are also both injured, making them unavailable here.
