Prediction: 3-1
Sparta Rotterdam
Ajax will try to recover from a massive 4-0 loss to Utrecht when they take on Sparta Rotterdam in the Eredivisie round 30. The Amsterdammers are leading the chase for the trophy and their excellent home record (12-2-0) is fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Sunday’s clash. Experienced midfielder Jordan Henderson serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while Brian Brobbey should overcome his minor injury.
The Rotterdammers, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the national championship. Sparta Rotterdam want to move closer to the Conference League berth, but with Ajax being a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are tempted to bet on the league leaders this time out. With no fresh injury worries to report, Sparta boss Maurice Steijn is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Heerenveen 3-1 at the weekend.
Highlighted Player (Steven Berghuis):
Born in Apeldoorn, Netherlands on December 19, 1991, Steven Berghuis is a Dutch winger who plays for Ajax in the Eredivisie. Berghuis played for the likes of Vitesse/AGOVV, WSV Apeldoorn, and Go Ahead Eagles during his youth career before joining Twente in 2009.
The 183-cm-tall footballer continued playing for the Reds at senior level. After ending his loan spell with VVV-Venlo, Steven Berghuis joined AZ Alkmaar in the summer of 2012, and three years later signed a deal with the Premier League club Watford. After making no more than nine appearances in the English top flight, Berghuis moved to Feyenoord in August 2016, and he has been playing De club aan de Maas ever since.
His main position is right winger, but he is capable of producing fine displays as both left winger and attacking midfielder as well. He made his Netherlands debut on May 27, 2016 in a 1-1 draw with the Republic of Ireland.
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.
