Prediction: 3-0
Sparta
PSV will look to stay in the title race when they take on Sparta Rotterdam at their Philips Stadion. Roger Schmidt’s troops are four points behind league leaders Ajax ahead of Matchday 8, meaning that they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Rotterdammers. PSV suffered a 2-1 loss to Willem II at the weekend, but it has to be noted that the Lampen failed to turn their dominance into more goals.
All Noni Madueke, Shurandy Sambo, and Richard Ledezma are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. Sparta Rotterdam, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Cambuur, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Both Aaron Meijers and Goncalves Pinto are banned for the visitors, which is yet another reason why we are going to put our money on the title-chasing hosts.
