PSV Eindhoven are the hosts, but they come into this match in a difficult patch. They have lost two of their last five games, including a heavy one, and only managed two wins in that stretch. Their form has been very up and down, and they have looked shaky at the back recently.

Sparta Rotterdam, meanwhile, have also been inconsistent but are coming off a positive away win. They have shown they can score goals on the road. In their recent meetings, these two teams have produced a lot of goals, with several high-scoring affairs. Given PSV's defensive problems and Sparta's ability to find the net, this match looks like it will be an open and close contest. Ultimately, PSV Eindhoven should win this match at home.
