Bayer Leverkusen vs PSV prediction
After a tough start to the campaign, Bayer Leverkusen decided to sack Erik ten Hag and replace him with former Denmark boss Kasper Hjulmand a couple of weeks ago. His reign has begun reasonably, but they put in a poor performance in the UEFA Champions League as they rescued a 2-2 draw against Copenhagen at the Parken.
PSV, under the management of Peter Bosz, are Dutch champions and remain one of the most entertaining teams to watch in European football, but they are in need of a performance here. That is because they began their UEFA Champions League campaign with a 3-1 defeat at home to Royale Union Saint-Gilloise a fortnight ago.
PSV are an entertaining team to watch and will likely play on the front foot in Germany, and that should mean the game bursts out into a thriller for the neutral this weekend.
