Prediction: 2-0
Go Ahead Eagles
After holding Feyenoord to a 1-1 draw in the Rotterdam derby, Sparta defeated Willem II before the international break and they now face Go Ahead Eagles on Matchday 5. The Rotterdammers have been producing fine displays in the new domestic campaign and, as a result, the odds for home win have been dropping. Midfielder Teo Quintero should be the only absentee in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, failed to spoil PSV’s party at Philips Stadion and given their difficulties on the road, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. In their last meeting in the Dutch top flight Go Ahead Eagles defeated Sparta Rotterdam 2-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. There are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team ahead of the trip to the beautiful city of Rotterdam.
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.
