Match Preview

Sparta Rotterdam welcome newly crowned Eredivisie champions PSV to Het Kasteel with very different agendas on Saturday. The hosts cling to 8th — the final European play-off spot — and desperately need points, while PSV arrive with the title already secured. Sparta have been unbeaten at home in five matches since January but inconsistent overall, suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat at Ajax before steadying with a draw against NAC Breda. PSV clinched a third straight title with a 4-3 win over Utrecht but have lost three of their last four away fixtures. Tobias Lauritsen — 11 league goals — leads Sparta's attack, with Shunsuke Mito supplying creativity. For the visitors, Ismael Saibari (14 goals) and Joey Veerman remain the standout threats. Sparta are without the suspended Lushendry Martes, while PSV travel without Sergiño Dest, Jerdy Schouten and Ruben van Bommel. PSV's superior quality should still edge this one, but a desperate Sparta side at home could make it uncomfortable. Our prediction: 1-2
