PSV Eindhoven vs Sparta Rotterdam
Our model puts a PSV Eindhoven win at 81.8% in this Eredivisie fixture — the clearest call on this fixture. Expected goals run 2.83 to 0.6.
The ratings gap
PSV Eindhoven carry a rating of 1785 against 1514 for Sparta Rotterdam, a gap of 271 points. On our scale that is the difference between a side that controls most of its fixtures and one that has to earn each of them. It is also the single largest input into the probabilities above.
Attack against defence
The single rating hides where the mismatch actually sits. Splitting it, PSV Eindhoven's attack should find room against Sparta Rotterdam's defence, by 322 points. That is the mechanism behind the expected-goals line rather than a separate opinion about it.
PSV Eindhoven are on a run
PSV Eindhoven arrive on 4 straight wins, part of 11 matches unbeaten. Form of that length moves our rating on its own, so it is already reflected in the numbers above rather than being an argument on top of them.
Margin risk
Our blowout flag reads 85.6%: more than half of all simulations end with a three-goal margin or more. Finishing gaps that wide make the scoreline far less predictable than the winner.
