PSV Eindhoven vs AS Monaco Prediction
A new-look PSV Eindhoven will be eager to capitalize on Ajax's transitional period and establish a season of success in the Eredivisie. Positive European performances will be a huge bonus for the Dutch giants, as manager Ruud van Nistelrooy enjoys his first stint as the manager of a senior side.
AS Monaco, on the other hand, have enjoyed a domestic resurgance in recent seasons after some poor outings. The addition of players like Takumi Minamino and Breel Embolo will surely help.
We expect PSV Eindhoven to succeed here.
Prediction: PSV Eindhoven 1-0 AS Monaco
