The UEFA Europa League returns to the fold with another round of games this week as PSV Eindhoven lock horns with Jorge Sampaoli’s Sevilla side in an important clash at the Philips Stadion on Thursday.
Sevilla are currently in 12th place in the La Liga standings and have improved after a shockingly poor start to their league campaign. The Andalusian giants were held to a 1-1 draw by Rayo Vallecano in their previous game and will look to take it up a notch this week.
PSV Eindhoven, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the Eredivisie table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The Dutch outfit played out a 2-2 draw against Utrecht over the weekend and will need to step up to the plate in this fixture.

PSV vs Sevilla Prediction
Sevilla have an impressive squad at their disposal and have shown tremendous improvement in recent weeks. The likes Youssef En-Nesyri and Lucas Ocampos can be lethal on their day and will look to make their mark in this fixture.
PSV Eindhoven are a formidable force at home and will be intent on overturning a steep first-leg deficit. Both teams are evenly matched at the moment and could play out a draw this week.
Prediction: PSV Eindhoven 1-1 Sevilla
