Mark your calendars for Sunday, May 18, 2025, when Sparta Rotterdam host PSV Eindhoven at Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel. Kick-off is set for 14:30 CEST (Italy, Germany, France, Spain) and 13:30 BST (UK).
This clash carries huge significance as PSV look to defend their Eredivisie title, while Sparta aim to finish the season on a high and delight their home supporters.
How are both teams coming into this?
PSV enter this fixture in sensational form after a thrilling 3-2 win over Feyenoord, followed by a convincing 4-1 victory over Heracles. Peter Bosz’s side have climbed to the top of the table, overtaking Ajax in dramatic fashion and will be brimming with confidence.
Sparta Rotterdam, meanwhile, have had a mixed campaign, battling inconsistently but showing resilience at home. The Kasteel has proven a fortress on occasions, but Sparta will need to raise their game significantly to challenge the high-flying visitors.
Our forecast
Given PSV’s recent dominance and clinical edge in front of goal, our prediction leans strongly towards an away win. Sparta may defend doggedly, but the quality gap is evident.
We expect an open game with goals at both ends. PSV should edge this encounter, potentially securing a comfortable victory if they hit top gear early on.
