"PSV’s 12 Europa League clashes produced a remarkable average of 3.92 goals per game, with both teams scoring in 10 (83%). They seem to have picked up exactly where they left off, as evidenced by the 25 goals their five domestic matches have already produced.

As for Union, both teams scored in half of their 10 Europa League matches last season, and against one of Europe’s most attacking outfits, it’s difficult to imagine this game depriving either team of a goal."

"After four games in the Spanish top flight, Real Madrid are the only side to have their perfect record intact. Xabi Alonso could not have hoped for a better start at the helm, especially given how his team had to dig deep against Real Sociedad last time out. Los Blancos took an early lead through Kylian Mbappe, before Dean Huijsen was sent off for bringing down Mikel Oyarzabal around the 30-minute mark. 

Despite that setback, Alonso made no substitutions, as Madrid continued to be quite front-footed in their approach - Arda Guler doubled his side’s lead just before half-time. Los Blancos had to soak up plenty of pressure in the second period and, despite conceding a penalty after 56 minutes, were able to hold on to take all three points from the Reale Arena. 

Madrid were much more convincing in their games before the international break, winning those three by an aggregate score of 6-1."

"At this early stage of the season, this isn’t the easiest of games to forecast, but given the contrasting philosophies of both coaches, it looks like a clash where both sides could find a way onto the scoresheet, even if neither finds a way to edge it.

Dortmund have scored eight goals in their last three games and Juventus have seen 10 total goals in their last three. The forgiving nature of the league phase should encourage both sides to go for the jugular here."
