Owing to an otherwise full-strength squad, there is just the sole fitness problem for the NEC gaffer Rogier Meijer to contend with. Başar Önal (unknown injury) misses out for this game.

NEC will need to push hard to score against this Sparta Rotterdam side who should manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

We’re therefore seeing a good battle with a 1-0 advantage for Sparta Rotterdam at the end of the 90 minutes.

We’ll see what happens.
