*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

PSV Eindhoven were held to a 1-1 draw in the Champions League by Sporting CP in midweek, though they remain incredibly dominant domestically and they have been priced as 2/11 favourites to win their eighth Eredivisie figures in a row this weekend.

Sparta Rotterdam meanwhile, have lost only once in seven assignments in the league, though the 12/1 underdogs’ copybook could be blotted for a second time by PSV on Saturday. View more of our Eredivisie tips on our football predictions page.

Player to watch – Malik Tillman

Malik Tillman has already notched an impressive four goals in the Eredivisie this season, though his tally of one assist should have been higher, especially when you analyse his underlying stats.

Tillman has been creative

Tillman has been averaging a lofty 2.40 key passes per game in the Eredivisie this term and his teammates haven’t been converting enough of the chances the midfielder has been creating. Tillman has the quality to keep the supply lines open, however.
