Sparta Rotterdam vs PSV Eindhoven Best odds and tips

PSV Eindhoven are in red-hot form, having won five consecutive matches and not lost in their last five, while Sparta Rotterdam have been in good form themselves, winning three, drawing one and losing one of their last five. PSV Eindhoven have won 11, drawn one and lost four of their 16 away matches in the Eredivisie 2024/2025, while Sparta Rotterdam have won four, drawn six and lost six of their 16 home games in the Dutch top flight this season. PSV Eindhoven sit 2nd in the Eredivisie 2024/2025 table with 73 points from 32 games, while Sparta Rotterdam are 10th with 38 points from 32 games.

Sparta Rotterdam has failed to win any of their last 3 home matches against PSV Eindhoven and so the odds of 1.95 on the visitors look a bit short, while Sparta are 3.75 outsiders and the draw is 3.50. However, a smart angle on this game could be to back over 2.5 goals, as PSV are a high-scoring side. PSV manager Peter Bosz has made them a team to fear since he took over in July 2023, instilling an expansive, possession-based style of play where they press high up the pitch and push their wide players forward at every opportunity. Sparta, by contrast, are a well-organised, defensive unit who look to frustrate opponents and keep things compact, so this should be a fascinating tactical battle, especially as PSV need to win.

Sparta have scored 19 goals in 16 home games, an average of 1.19 per game, while PSV have hit a fearsome 45 away goals in 16 Eredivisie games this season. PSV’s recent 5-game winning streak includes a 4-1 win at home against Fortuna Sittard and a 3-2 win away at title rivals Feyenoord, so they have the goal power to win this one. Ivan Perisic has come alive for PSV, scoring six goals in their last five games, while Luuk de Jong has 13 goals in 29 Eredivisie games this season, and Tobias Lauritsen has nine in 31 for Sparta. Pelle Clement has three assists in Sparta’s last five games, while PSV are just so potent going forward that they should have enough to edge this one.
