Sparta Rotterdam seemed like a team that was going to conclude the season in the relegation play-off spot. Fast forward to matchday 34, they are in 11th place and are one point behind seventh-placed Go Ahead Eagles.
The Castle Lords have lost once in ten league games. Five of those matches resulted in victory with four ending in stalemates (L1). Defense was not their strong suite during this period, preserving four clean sheets.
Last time out, they squandered a one-goal lead against FC Utrecht to share the spoils in a drab 1-1 draw away from home. They have been the masters of the bore draw this season. No team has drawn more matches than their 12. PEC Zwolle and Heracles Almelo come the closest with 11.
Sparta Rotterdam: Team News
Head coach Maurice Steijn has no fitness issues ahead of this clash. Teo Quintero remains inactive for the hosts. However, that shouldn't stress Steijn too much as the 26-year-old has hardly made an impact.
Sparta Rotterdam was unfortunate not to have won against FC Utrecht. This means we could see the same starting lineup from Wednesday this Sunday.
🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-3-3): Olij; Bakari, Young, Eerdhuijzen, Kleijn; Hlynsson, Zechiel, Clement; van Bergen, Lauritsen, Nassoh.
⛔️ Out: Teo Quintero (inactive)
👤 Head coach: Maurice Steijn

PSV Eindhoven reclaimed their top spot in the Eredivisie standings. They are one game away from defending their league title, and winning here should be enough.
The Lightbulbs made light work of Heracles Almelo on Wednesday. It was an explosive first half and a battle of the braces between Ismael Saibari and Malik Tillman, who both scored two each, resulting in a commanding 4-1 home victory.
Peter Bosz's men have now won six consecutive matches in the league. They have shown strength in offense during this period, scoring a whopping 22 goals in the process.

Richard Ledezma was not available on Wednesday for the hosts because of his suspension. He has already served his suspension and will be available for selection this Sunday.

It's still the same issue with Lucas Perez, who is battling an illness. The 36-year-old won't be available for selection in this finale.
🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-3-3): Benitez; Dest, Flamingo, Boscagli, Mauro Junior; Saibari, Veerman, Tillman; Perisic, de Jong, Lang.

Sparta Rotterdam vs PSV Eindhoven match prediction 18 May 2025
Sparta Rotterdam has been in poor form in this fixture. Their last league win against PSV Eindhoven was in November 2001 when they won 2-1 at home. I'm not expecting them to cause an upset here.
I can't see beyond a very comfortable away win in this one. PSV Eindhoven needs to win this final game in the Eredivisie if they still have aspirations of defending their league title. They have been firing on all cylinders recently, and I am backing to win combined with over 3.5 goals.
Our match prediction: W2 & TO 3.5 for a coefficient of 1.9 in the 1xbet bookmaker.
Our betting tip on the match: Anytime Goalscorer - Noa Lang for a coefficient of 2.10 in the Bet365 bookmaker.
Our final betting tip on the match: Goals - Over 4.5 for a coefficient of 2.27 in the Betway bookmaker.
