What to expect: Liverpool vs PSV Eindhoven

By: Nadia | September 30th, 2008

Wednesday’s Matchday 2 for Liverpool will be against Dutch side, PSV Eindhoven, currently 2nd in the Dutch Eredivisie. This will be held at our fortress, so I supposed it is easy to conclude that we will win comfortably. My prediction: 3-1. It will be a Gernando show : ))

In fact I will not be surprised if PSV were to score first, just like Marseille did in Matchday 1. Our defence might be caught off-guard by the pace of the club’s top scorer this season, Ibrahim Affelay. However, knowing how much Nando loves to attack at the Kop end, El Nino will be trying to bag his first hat-trick, and who knows Dirk Kuyt might sneak one in as well.

Liverpool looks to be the stronger team on paper, winning all our matches against PSV during the previous 4 encounters. But if PSV had learnt a thing or two from Stoke, they will need to park their team bus in front of the goal post, in order to stifle us at home turf.

Anyway, let’s hope this will be a major goal galore for the Reds.

Affelay is hurt and didn't travel with the team.

So Keane scores two but doesn't get on the board? How does that work? 8-P

I predict 2-0. The first a Keane shot from outside the area that takes a heavy deflection and the keeper fumbles it into the goal and the second a more clean Keane goal. Basically, the Wigan game from a couple seasons back substituting Keane for Crouch.

Ok, actually, it'll be 3-0, Torres x2, Gerrard.
