Preview
Real Sociedad head into this after a 2-1 away loss to Monaco on Matchday 5, which leaves their qualification hopes hanging by a thread.
Volland broke the deadlock for the French side before Isak restored parity. But a goal from Fofana three minutes later proved to be the winning goal for Monaco as they clinched the points.
This point sent Sociedad to 3rd in the Group B standings with 6 points, knowing only a win tonight can keep their Europa League campaign alive.
On the other hand, PSV beat Sturm Graz 2-0 at home on MD 5 to jump to 2nd in the table.
Vinicius and Bruma scored in either half to ensure victory for the French side and they are now with 8 points from 5 matches.
But Monaco too needs to win this one to finish in the qualification places. Hence, this clash has it all to play for both teams on the final day in Group B.
These two sides met on MD 1 last in September, where PSV played out a 2-2 draw against Sociedad at home.

Prediction: Real Sociedad 1-1 PSV
Sociedad is in home comforts and we expect them to take the game to PSV, who are in need of a win themselves.
We expect a cagey affair given what is at hand and see the visitors nicking a point from their travels as they have performed well away from home in the UEL this season.
Players to watch out for: Oyarzabal, Isak, van Ginkel and Gakpo.
