Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven’s Champions League journey was cut short at the qualification stage but they have solace in the Europa League. They start off with a clash against Spanish opposition, Real Sociedad in Group B. The hosts will be seeking a fifth unbeaten outing and they’ve been really prolific in attack, going to this game having scored three or more goals in three of the last four matches. PSV have failed to score in just one of their last 18 matches and in the 11 matches they’ve played this season, they have nine wins. At home, the hosts are unbeaten in 15 matches and in Europa League games there, they have seven wins in 10. Eight of PSV’s last 10 home matches in this competition have produced over 2.5 goals but they have managed just three clean sheets, though they’ve scored two or more in seven of the 10 games. Ahead of this game, PSV thrashed AZ 3-0 away, and will be fired up for this, being at home.

Real Sociedad were slow starters to the season, opening with a loss, but have won each of their last three games, with three clean sheets, and will be hoping to extend the same to Europe. They’ve scored in all their opening four matches, with Mikel Oyarzabal key, having scored four already. Two of his goals came from the penalty spot though. It is in the Europa League that Real Sociedad will be eyeing improvement, having failed to win any of their last five matches, losing one and drawing four. They have failed to score in three of the last five Europa League games, and kept two clean sheets only. Real Sociedad have one win in five away games in the Europa League.
