ITV: FC Copenhagen v PSV

PSV Eindhoven coach Fred Rutten expects FC Copenhagen to employ a different approach to the teams’ last meeting when they square up in their Europa League clash in Denmark. The Dutch side are currently top of Group K with seven points from three games while their Danish opponents prop up the standings although there is just one point separating second from fourth. The teams met a fortnight ago with PSV claiming a 1-0 victory which means three points on Thursday will all but guarantee Rutten’s side a top-two finish.However, Copenhagen need to utilise home advantage with their closest rivals Cluj and Sparta Prague meeting in Romania. Copenhagen set out to stifle their opponents last time out in a tough encounter which produced little creativity and was marked by Jonathan Reis missing a penalty and then scoring the only goal. However, Rutten believes the Danes will have to show more ambition given their position in the group.
