| Both clubs finished 2nd in their domestic leagues and now want to move into the Champions League group stage. In 17 home games, PSV had only recorded one defeat. Galatasaray missed the title in the league by their city rivals Besiktas only on goal difference. After participating in two group stages in the Europa League, PSV is hoping to participate in the Champions League group stage again. The hosts will be supported by 23,500 spectators at the Philips Stadium on Wednesday. Because of the negotiations with other clubs, Dumfries and Malen are currently not in the squad for the game. The record Turkish champions are facing a difficult time. As of this year, the Turkish first division clubs will only be allowed to have 14 foreign players in their squad. Omar Elabdellaoui and Radamel Falcao will miss the first leg in Eindhoven due to injuries. In the right-back position, DeAndre Yedlin is expecting to start. |
