PSV and Rangers find themselves in the same predicament once again in the Champions League Play-offs.
Ahead of Wednesday's second-leg match, it has to be noted that it was the same scoreline in the first leg of the qualifying for the European premier club tournament last season, with Rangers clinching the away leg to make it to the group stage.
Yet again, PSV came from behind to register a 2-2 draw this time around. The Dutch Super Cup winners have now extended their unbeaten run to 23 games, while Michael Beale's men are coming into this match on the back of a 2-0 league win over Ross County.

Team news & squads
PSV team news
Peter Bosz would have been worried at the sight of both center-backs, Andre Ramalho and Olivier Boscagli, being forced off due to knocks in the first-leg draw last week. However, Ramalho has since been spotted in full training.
As Boscagli remains a huge doubt, Armando Obispo cannot be counted as a replacement as the latter remains sidelined with a knee injury. That leaves Bosz with the option of using Jerdy Schouten as a makeshift defender.
With the left-back trio of Patrick van Aanholt, Mauro Junior and Fredrik Oppegard also out injured, Barcelona loanee Sergino Dest would serve as a replacement.
PSV possible XI: Benitez; Teze, Ramalho, Schouten, Dest; Veerman, Sangare; Bakayoko, Saibari, Lang; De Jong.
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Benitez, Drommel, Waterman |
| Defenders: | Boscagli, Ramalho, Dest, Teze, Sambo |
| Midfielders: | Sangare, Schouten, Veerman, Til, Tillman, Babadi |
| Forwards: | Pepi, De Jong, Vertessen, Lang, Bakayoko, El Ghazi, Saibari |
Rangers team news
Steven Davis is yet to recover from an ACL injury, while Ridvan Yilmaz missed the last game due to a strain but would seem to be available after sweating it out in training.
Beale might look to effect some changes as Abdalla Sima could start in place of Kemar Roofe, despite the latter finding the back of the net against Ross County.
Similarly, Ryan Jack may be given the nod ahead of John Lundstram in midfield.
Nnamdi Ofoborh has left the club due to a heart condition.
Rangers possible XI: Butland; Tavernier, Goldson, Souttar, Barisic; Raskin, Jack, Cifuentes; Cantwell; Sima, Dessers.
