Sparta Rotterdam

WLDDDW

Sparta Rotterdam are hoping to win again after their last result, the 1-2 Eredivisie victory against Willem II.

For Sparta Rotterdam, the goals were scored by Pelle Clement (48') and Camiel Neghli (89'). Cisse Sandra (84') scored for Willem II.

Sparta Rotterdam have been conceding pretty frequently of late, although they have also managed to score goals themselves. Over their last 6 matches, Sparta Rotterdam have seen their goal breached in 5 of them while also scoring in 5 of those games.

A look at their previous results shows us that Sparta Rotterdam:

• have left without a victory over Go Ahead Eagles in their previous 2 matches in the league.
• are undefeated in their previous 4 home league matches.
• have not won at home in their last 2 league games.

Go Ahead Eagles

DLLLWL

Following on from a losing effort in their last game against PSV Eindhoven in Eredivisie action, Go Ahead Eagles will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that match, Go Ahead Eagles managed 29% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target. On the other side, PSV got 19 shots at goal with 8 on target. Guus Til (11'), Hirving Lozano (27') and Joey Veerman (63') scored for PSV Eindhoven.

It is worth noting that Go Ahead Eagles have made hard work of scoring goals over their previous six clashes, contributing the unsatisfactory return of just 3. In those fixtures, Trots aan de IJssel have also seen the overall goal aggregate against them equal 9. Such a trend might not be carried forward here, of course.

Going into this one, Go Ahead Eagles are without a win away from home in their last 2 league matches.

↔️ Head to head

Inspecting their most recent head to head clashes going back to 28/08/2021 shows that Sparta Rotterdam have won 3 of these games & Go Ahead Eagles 2, with the tally of draws being 1.

A combined sum of 9 goals were shared by the two clubs in these games, with 4 of them from Kasteelheren and 5 created by Trots aan de IJssel. That’s an average goals per game figure of 1.5.

The last league meeting between the two was Eredivisie match day 27 on 21/01/2024 which ended up with the score at Sparta Rotterdam 0-2 Go Ahead Eagles.

On that day, Sparta Rotterdam had 59% possession and 20 shots at goal with 4 on target.

The match was refereed by Danny Makkelie.

📋 Team News: Sparta Rotterdam

Teo Quintero (unknown injury) and Kayky (Torn knee ligaments) won’t be playing for Sparta Rotterdam boss Jeroen Rijsdijk.

We think that Kasteelheren should use a 4-2-3-1 system for the game, beginning the first half with Nick Olij, Boyd Reith, Rick Meissen, Mike Eerdhuijzen, D. van der, Julian Baas, Pelle Clement, Camiel Neghli, Arno Verschueren, Mohamed Nassoh and Tobias Lauritsen.

📰 Team News: Go Ahead Eagles

Go Ahead Eagles boss Paul Simonis has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Julius Dirksen (Knee injury), Oliver Valaker Edvardsen (Foot injury) and Søren Tengstedt (unknown injury) won’t be making appearances.

From our viewpoint, Trots aan de IJssel seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, going with Luca Plogmann, Mats Deijl, Gerrit Nauber, Joris Kramer, Dean James, Enric Llansana, Evert Linthorst, Bobby Adekanye, Oliver Antman, Jakob Breum and Victor Edvardsen.

💭 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Go Ahead Eagles will do well to see themselves scoring against this Sparta Rotterdam lineup who we reckon will get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re therefore seeing a good battle with a 1-0 victory for Sparta Rotterdam at full-time.

Let’s see.
