On Tue Jan 10th, PSV and Sparta Rotterdam will play a match in Rotterdam in a meeting of these two KNVB Beker teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 8 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. Sparta Rotterdam is fresh off their 1-1 draw against FC Twente. Sem Steijn struck first for FC Twente in the 63rd minute, then Arno Verschueren tied it up for Sparta Rotterdam in the 71st minute on a feed from Mike Eerdhuijzen earning Sparta Rotterdam a comeback draw. Sparta Rotterdam should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 20 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, PSV recorded a 0-1 loss against AZ Alkmaar. Vangelis Pavlidis struck first for AZ Alkmaar in the 18th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed PSV couldn’t manage to score, and AZ Alkmaar took the shutout win. With 18 points in their last 10 matches PSV should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season PSV won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
