How the crowd called it
Why we called it
PSV won the first topper of the season 3-1 at Ajax on Saturday, Pepi scoring inside five minutes, and sit second in the Eredivisie with Bosz's usual 4-2-3-1 built around Pepi, Til and Perišić. Arda Turan's Shakhtar are unbeaten in Ukraine after a 2-1 win at Karpaty, teenage Brazilians Meirelles and Alisson Santana scoring, but their squad is young and they play their home games in exile. At 1.45 PSV are a clear but not overwhelming favourite, so we trim the margin: 2-1, with Shakhtar's pace getting one goal.
