Prediction: 1-2
Sparta Rotterdam
Saturday’s football game at Yanmar Stadion pits together Almere City and Sparta Rotterdam, the two mid-table sides. Almere City have drawn each of their last six league matches and, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from the round 30 clash. Defender Theo Barbet is back from suspension, whilst all Yann Kitala, Danny Post, and Stijn Keller are out of contention through injuries.
Meanwhile, the Rotterdamers failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Heracles at the weekend, but despite the defeat, they are still in the race for a spot in the Conference League. As Sparta Rotterdam want this win more than Almere City, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. Both Tobias Lauritsen and Django Warmerdam remain in the recovery room, while Joshua Kitolano faces race against the clock to be fit for Saturday’s clash, speaking of the visiting side.
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.
