Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Sparta Rotterdam
Match Time & Date:

18:45
Prediction: 2-1
Sittard
Sparta Rotterdam will be aiming to put an end to their four-game winless run in the Eredivisie when they take on Fortuna Sittard on Matchday 27. The Rotterdammers dropped a two-goal advantage in a 2-2 draw with Ajax before the international window and they now need to return to winning ways in order to stay in the Conference League race.
A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Belgium midfielder Arno Verschueren, who scored a brace against Ajax, while Rick Meissen has joined Django Warmerdam in the recovery room. Joshua Kitolano is a major doubt. Fortuna Sittard, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 3-1 win over Zwolle, but given their difficulties on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s clash. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting 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.
