PSV vs Sparta Rotterdam Prediction and Betting Tips | August 9th 2025

PSV will invite Sparta Rotterdam to the Philips Stadion in their Eredivisie campaign opener on Saturday. They had met in the final match of the 2024-25 campaign, and Lampen registered a 3-1 win to lift the title, as they finished just one point above Ajax.

The hosts got their 2025-26 season underway with a 2-1 win over Go Ahead Eagles in the Johan Cruyff Shield last week. Gerrit Nauber's own goal helped them level the score, and Sergiño Dest scored an 84th-minute winner.

The visitors had won just nine games in the Eredivisie last season, with seven of them registered in 2025. They concluded their preseason with a 2-0 win over OFI last week, thanks to goals from Shunsuke Mito and Nökkvi Þórisson.

PSV vs Sparta Rotterdam Prediction

Rood-witten extended their winning streak in competitive games to eight games with a 2-1 triumph over Go Ahead Eagles last week and will look to continue that form here. They are unbeaten at home in this fixture since 1995 and are strong favorites.

Guus Til and Ricardo Pepi started from the bench in the Cruyff Shield, and Peter Bosz will likely include them in the starting XI here.

De Kasteelheren had a decent preseason and will look to continue that form here. They have registered just one win against the hosts since 2001, and that triumph was registered in the KNVB Cup in 2016. They are on a six-game losing streak in this fixture, failing to score in two.

New signing Bruno Martins Indi is in contention to start here. Sayfallah Ltaief completed a loan move earlier this week but is unlikely to be given a start so soon.

The defending champions have been the dominant side in this fixture, and considering their eight-game winning streak in all competitions, we back them to record a comfortable win.

Prediction: PSV 3-1 Sparta Rotterdam
