Sparta Rotterdam
Wednesday’s football game at MAC³PARK Stadion pits together Zwolle and Sparta Rotterdam, the two teams who sit in the bottom half of the table. Zwolle have been struggling at the start of the season, with the team suffering a loss in each of their five league fixtures. Since the rock-bottom side have yet to find the net in the new Eredivisie campaign, home win should not be considered.
Attacker Pelle Clement remains on the sidelines with an ankle injury, while both Saymak and Wermeskerken are rated doubtful for the game. Sparta Rotterdam, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with NEC. Even though the Rotterdammers are not regarded as good travelers, away win should be considered as Zwolle have yet to find the net in the new Eredivisie campaign. Sparta defender Tom Beugelsdijk misses the match with injury.
