PSV vs Sparta Rotterdam prediction: NETHERLANDS: Eredivisie betting tips on match 2024-05-04 10:15.
[p]The flat cart is expected to finally be taken out of the stable on Sunday afternoon. PSV Eindhoven has unofficially been champion of the Netherlands for a while now, but must earn at least one point against Sparta Rotterdam to actually receive the national title. Peter Bosz’s team achieved the biggest away win in club history (8-0) last week when they visited Heerenveen and now hopes to be able to treat their fans in their own Philips Stadium to a spectacle with a championship-clinching performance.[/p]
[p]PSV also has plenty of records and individual prizes to play for in the coming weeks. For example, the record for the best goal difference in the Eredivsie will already be matched if the team manages to win by a four-goal margin (+90), just as they did in the reverse H2H in Spangen. In any case, Bosz will no longer be able to rely on Sergiño Dest this weekend. The wing back, who is on loan from FC Barcelona, has torn his anterior cruciate ligament and will no longer play for the time being.[/p]
[p]Sparta knows that it will have a tough afternoon against a team that has produced nineteen goals in the last three rounds. However, the Rotterdammers themselves are also in good shape with four wins from the last five matches (L1) and they can make good use of those points in the race for UEFA football via the play-offs. What also speaks in favour of Sparta is the fact that the club is performing exceptionally well in away matches this season.[/p]
[p]Only PSV, Feyenoord and AZ managed to win more points on foreign soil this year than the Kasteelheren (23). Sparta will probably have to make do without attacking midfielder Arno Verschueren in the coming weeks and that is a big loss for Jeroen Rijsdijk’s team. The Belgian scored six times in his last nine matches and was responsible for nine league goals for the second season in a row.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Malik Tillman has been directly involved in seven goals in his last four games (G3, A4), whilst Tobias Lauritsen contributed to ten goals in his last nine appearances for Sparta (G6, A4).[/p]
[p]Hot streak: PSV won their last three matches by margins of at least four goals.[/p]
