Prediction: 1-1
Waalwijk
Following a goalless draw with Go Ahead Eagles, Sparta Rotterdam will look to stay in the playoffs berth when they take on RKC on Saturday evening. The Rotterdammers aim to put an end to their three-game winless run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against RKC. All Koki Saito, Sergi Rosanas, and Mike Eerdhuijzen are major doubts, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
RKC, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team winning three of their last four league matches. The visitors aim to give fans yet another reason to celebrate, but beating Sparta in Rotterdam is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils at Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel. Goalkeeper Etienne Vaessen should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Team (Sparta Rotterdam):
Founded back on April 1, 1888, Sparta Rotterdam is considered one of the oldest clubs in the Netherlands. De Kasteelheren (the Castle Lords) welcome their opponents at Het Kasteel, and they have a great rivalry with Feyenoord. Yet another Rotterdam club Excelsior are considered Sparta’s fierce rivals as well.
Sparta Rotterdam wear white shirts with red strips when playing on home soil, while sky blue is the dominant colour of their away kit. De Kasteelheren have won six Eredivisie trophies. Sparta were the dominant force in the Dutch football in the 1910s, with the team winning their last league title in the 1958/59 season.
De Kasteelheren have won three Dutch Cup trophies as well (1957/58, 1961/62, 1965/66). In the 1985/86 season Sparta last participated in the UEFA Cup, with the team beating Hamburger SC in round 1, while suffering elimination to Borussia Monchengladbach in the second round. Sparta’s stadium Het Kasteel can hold up to 11,926 spectators.
