Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Sparta Rotterdam
Match Time & Date:
19/10/2024
16:30
Prediction: 2-0
Almere City
Sparta Rotterdam will look to recover from a 2-1 loss to PSV when they take on Almere City in the Eredivisie round 9. The Rotterdammers are determined to record their first home win of the season and it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Tobias Lauritsen has joined Jonathan De Guzman and Teo Quintero in the recovery room, but Pelle Clement should be fit for the match.
Almere, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form before the international break, with the team extending their losing run to three games against Willem II. Given the importance of Saturday’s clash for Sparta Rotterdam, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. Defender James Lawrence has yet to overcome a muscle injury, but he 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.
