Prediction: 1-1
Nijmegen
Sparta Rotterdam and NEC Nijmegen square off against each other at Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel in the Eredivisie round 5. The Rotterdammers desperately needed a win against Fortuna Sittard, and they managed to get one. Sparta did well to record their first triumph of the process, which undisputedly gave them a confidence boost. Since head coach Henk Fraser should have a full squad to choose from, we are positive that the hosts will find the net in Friday’s game.
NEC, on the other hand, have been playing above expectations on their return to the Dutch top flight. The newcomers aim to retain their spot in top six, and given their fine form, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Both Mathias De Wolf and Rens Van Eijden are facing races against clock to be fit for the match.
