PSV wrap up the weekend in the VriendenLoterij Eredivisie on Sunday against Sparta Rotterdam. Voetbalzone expect Peter Bosz to make changes in two positions. PSV v Sparta kicks off at 20:00 and will be shown live on ESPN 1.
Matej Kovar starts in goal at the Philips Stadion. Back from suspension, Mauro Júnior replaces Filip Kostic at left-back. Sergiño Dest lines up on the right, while Lutsharel Geertruida and Armando Obispo are tasked with keeping Sparta’s striker under control.
After failing to make much of an impression against Shakhtar Donetsk on Thursday, Paul Wanner drops out for Noah Fernandez. Kodai Sano, who impressed, and Guus Til complete PSV’s midfield on Sunday.
Up front, there are no surprises in PSV’s line-up for the home game against Sparta. Ivan Perisic, Ricardo Pepi and Ruben van Bommel must make sure PSV stay on the heels of leaders AZ.
Last week, PSV beat Ajax 1-3 and took a great deal of confidence from that result. The 1-1 draw against Shakhtar was a slight disappointment for the reigning champions.
Probable PSV line-up: Kovar; Dest, Geertruida, Obispo, Mauro Júnior; Sano, Fernandez, Til; Perisic, Pepi, Van Bommel.
