Bosz Plans Changes to PSV Lineup Against Leipzig

PSV Eindhoven are expected to make several personnel changes when they visit RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, October 13, with Peter Bosz preparing a reshuffled lineup following a domestic victory over sc Heerenveen. According to Goal.com, the predicted selection includes adjustments in defense, midfield and attack, while Ricardo Pepi remains unavailable because of injury.

PSV enter the European fixture after a 2-0 home win over Heerenveen on Friday. Leipzig, meanwhile, recorded a 6-0 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt, according to the source, giving the German side an emphatic result ahead of a demanding run of matches.

The match at the Red Bull Arena is scheduled to kick off at 21:00. Goal.com reported that Voetbalzone expects Bosz to alter his selection in every department compared with the team that started against Heerenveen.

Matej Kovar is predicted to start in goal for PSV, with Sergiño Dest retaining his position at right-back. Lutsharel Geertruida is expected to replace Ryan Flamingo in central defense and partner Armando Obispo, while Filip Kostic is projected to occupy the left-back position.

The expected defensive changes would give PSV a different combination in central defense while keeping Dest in the starting lineup. Kovar is also projected to retain the goalkeeper position for the Champions League encounter.

In midfield, Mauro Júnior is expected to start after moving into the position during the second half against Heerenveen. Noah Fernandez is consequently predicted to drop to the bench, with Kodai Sano and Guus Til completing the three-man midfield.

The projected attacking lineup features Ivan Perisic on the right wing and Ruben van Bommel on the left. Sven Mijnans is expected to lead the attack in place of Pepi, whose injury keeps him out of contention for the match.

According to Goal.com, the predicted PSV starting lineup is Kovar; Dest, Geertruida, Obispo, Kostic; Mauro Júnior, Sano, Til; Perisic, Mijnans, Van Bommel.

The fixture presents PSV with a European test against a Leipzig side that scored six goals in its previous domestic match. Bayern München and Real Madrid are also on Leipzig's upcoming schedule, according to the source.
