Prediction: 1-1
Sparta Rotterdam
Go Ahead Eagles and Sparta Rotterdam face each other at De Adelaarshorst in the Eredivisie round 4. Go Ahead Eagles aim to put an end to their three-game losing run, and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field. Both Adekanye and Aventisian are pushing for a start, while defender Mats Deijl is banned for the match. Forward Martijn Berden misses Saturday’s clash through injury.
The Rotterdammers, on the other hand, are eyeing their first win of the process as well, and seeing that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Midfielder Koki Saito is sidelined with injury, while defender Laurent Jans is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
