The match is now tied at 2-2 after the first leg, and the winner advances to the group stages of the 2022/23 Champions League group stages. Whilst, the losers will drop to the Europa League.
When they squared up with Rangers in the first leg last week, PSV Eindhoven felt the full impact of the fearsome Ibrox atmosphere, but they were able to leave Glasgow with a well-earned draw.
The Gers took the lead in the 70th minute thanks to a mistake from PSV goalkeeper Walter Benitez, who mishandled a Tom Lawrence free kick. Eight minutes later, Armando Obispo’s thunderous header equalized the score.
After the four-goal thriller, PSV head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy acknowledged that a draw was a “fair result,” and his team now has home advantage for the rematch on Wednesday as they attempt to qualify for the Champions League group stages for the first time in four years.
Prediction – over 2.5
Goals are expected at the Philips Stadion since PSV and Rangers have both displayed their strengths in the final third thus far this season while also appearing susceptible at the back.
