PSV - Sparta Rotterdam predictions

With the betting odds being what they are, an Sparta Rotterdam win or even a draw would be incredibly surprising. PSV are very hard favourites and their victory seems almost inevitable.

The current perspective makes the situation clear. Given the superiority of PSV and the fact that Sparta Rotterdam are given 20.00 odds to win, it is easy to conclude that anything but a home win would be an unexpected shock.

While the last time we saw PSV they took home a decisive 0:8 away win at SC Heerenveen, they shouldn’t get too overconfident. They were the hard favourites after all, and Sparta Rotterdam might yet have a few tricks up their sleeve even though the biggest bookmakers online don’t think so.

The first 45 minutes of Sparta Rotterdam’s previous Eredivisie game did not exactly do justice to the overwhelming betting odds they were on - 1.25. A tied half led to a narrow 1:0 win after the break but not many fans will have been happy with their team’s display.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from PSV and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

We should point out that Sparta Rotterdam scored more than 5 goals over the course of their previous 3 home games. They’re visitors this time around, but it’s still worth noting for the benefit of bets like Over 5 Goals.

PSV are on their way to a Eredivisie title if they keep up the pace, which they should be able to do against Sparta Rotterdam. That said, the leading spots on the table are highly contested, and there’s time for things to go south.

PSV clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, though it doesn’t seem insurmountable by any means. They won despite a home-field disadvantage the last time they clashed with Sparta Rotterdam, but it was a rather narrow victory.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 2.35 odds are great value.
