Prediction: 2-1
Heerenveen
Sparta Rotterdam play host to Heerenveen at their Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel in the Eredivisie round 28. The Rotterdammers were having their ups and downs before the international break, with the team losing to PSV, beating Go Ahead Eagles, while sharing the spoils with NEC Nijmegen. Sparta aim to escape the relegation zone, and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field. Since defender Tom Beugelsdijk is back in training, Henk Fraiser should have a full squad to choose from.
Heerenveen, on the other hand, did well to beat Heracles 2-0 in their last league match, with the team putting an end to their dreadful winless run. De Superfriezen are stuck in the middle of the standings, and seeing that the hosts want this win more than the visitors, home win should be considered. Both Siem de Jong and Pawel Bochniewicz are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.
