Netherlands Eredivisie: PSV vs Sparta Rotterdam 09/08/2025

Betting on Goals

The Dutch league is also kicking off, and PSV begin their title defense from last season’s highly competitive campaign at home against Sparta Rotterdam.

PSV were dominant on home turf, averaging over three goals per match and rarely stopping there. Their attack is now in full rhythm, and the team doesn’t ease up even when leading, which often results in large scorelines. During the preseason, they recorded a string of victories, with the most notable being the one against Bilbao.

Sparta enter the season aiming to replicate last year’s solid performances, but history is not on their side here — in recent trips to Eindhoven, they have returned empty-handed. Their defense struggles to keep pace against teams that apply constant pressure, and PSV are masters at exploiting even the smallest gaps.

With a tradition of high-scoring head-to-head matches, PSV’s home form, and the expectation that Sparta will at least find the net once, all signs point to an attacking game with plenty of chances. It’s realistic to expect at least four goals.
