Sparta Rotterdam have the chance to leap into the top five when they host PSV in the Eredivisie on Sunday. The two sides are 10 points apart, Sparta Rotterdam with 11 points in sixth and PSV top with 21 points. While they start the season strongly, the recent matches haven't been great for Sparta. They have one win only in four matches. In their last three matches they’ve suffered two defeats, the most recent 2-1 against Excelsior. Their 1-0 win over Vitesse earlier is their only clean sheet in the seven matches they played so far. Coming into this fixture, Sparta Rotterdam will be targeting a first win in 12 meetings with PSV. In the previous 11 meetings, they’ve suffered nine losses.

In each of their last four visits here, PSV have left with wins. They will target the same here, and their form this season signals much of the same. In this match, they are targeting a return to winning ways, following a 2-2 draw with Sevilla in the Champions League. The Dutch giants had to come from behind twice in the game. That draw brought to a halt a three-game winning run. Their scoring run is however great, with at least two goals in each of the last four games. Only Feyenoord (26) have scored more goals than PSV (23) this season. The league leaders are however the best defensively, having conceded just twice in seven matches. They have a perfect run in the league so far, and there seems to be little to stop them in this game.
