Prediction: 2-1
Cambuur
Sparta Rotterdam and Cambuur, the two old rivals, face aech other in the Eredivisie for the first time since 2001. Following a 3-1 win over Fortuna Sittard, Sparta shared the spoils with both NEC Nijmegen and Zwolle in the previous two league fixtures, and, no doubt, they want to extend their unbeaten run to four games. The Rotterdammers are eyeing their second win of the season, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts.
Defender Tom Beugelsdijk should be the only absentee in the home team. The newcomers, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from an embarrassing 9-0 loss to Ajax, with the team beating Heracles 2-1 at home ground. Cambuur have been impressive in front of home fans of late, but given their poor away record, we are tempted to put our money on Sparta. Gullit misses out with injury, while Schouten is a major doubt for the visiting team.
