PSV Eindhoven vs Sparta Rotterdam Prediction and Betting Tips | January 7, 2023

PSV Eindhoven will get the new year underway on Saturday (January 7) when they take on Sparta Rotterdam in the 15th gameweek of the Eredivisie.

The visitors will head to the Philips Stadion seeking to get one over Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side. Sparta have not beaten PSV in eight meetings since October 2016.

PSV put together a superb run of results during the 2022 FIFA World Cup break, winning all three friendlies.

Before the break, Van Nistelrooy’s men lost 1-0 to AZ Alkmaar, which snapped their four-game winning streak. PSV now return to the Eredivisie, where they're third in the standings, level on 30 points with second-placed Ajax.

Meanwhile, after a 2-1 loss against FC Twente in their first outing during the break, Sparta quickly found their feet with successive wins over Spezia and Vitesse in two other friendlies.

They have now turned their attention to the Eredivisie, where they're unbeaten in three games, claiming seven points from a possible nine. With 24 points from 14 games, Sparta are sixth in the standings, level on points with seventh-placed Utrecht.
