Preview Deportivo - PSV |
30 Sep
2003 |
PSV travel off to Deporortivo
hoping to leave last weekends 0-1 home defeat by AZ behind
them. The Eindhovenaren, who also lost at home to AS Monaco two weeks ago in
their Champions Leagueng game, know that they must at least force a draw
otherwise their chances of reaching the next round will almost certainly be
diminished. However, they face a shaky Deportivo who lost their number one spot
in the Spanish league this weekend. Deportivo
will be determined to wipe out their 3-2
weekend defeat to Osasuna in which
they were surprised by an Osasuna side who raced into a three goal lead
in the first half hour of the game. However, Deportivo
showed their resilience when they pulled two back later on though for a
3-2 final result.
Deportivo were forced to qualify
for the Champions League via the qualification rounds in which Héctor
Berenguel del Pino was shown a yellow card. The 29-year-old
defender was also shown yellow in Deportivo's match against AEK Athens two
weeks ago and will now have to tread carefully in Deportivo's defence.
Furhtermore Amavisca, Tristán, Mauro Silva, Sergio
and Victor were also shown yellow cards in the Athens
match and will also have to tread carefully.
PSV's Ji-Sung Park and
Remco van der Schaaf have both been yellow-carded and so
they too will be hoping for a card-free evening.
Tonight's match will be lead by a Scandinavian trio. Referee Claus
Bo Larsen will be assisted by fellow countryman Bill
René Hansen and the Fin Erik Rasmussen. |
