Prediction: 2-2
Sparta Rotterdam
Go Ahead Eagles will be aiming to make amends for a 4-2 loss to Heracles when they face Sparta Rotterdam in the Eredivisie round 23. Even though Go Ahead Eagles have been producing fine displays at home ground of late, Friday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Soren Tengstedt continues to miss out with injury, while Finn Stokkers will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Rotterdammers, on the other hand, are eager to escape the relegation zone. With Sparta’s need for points and Go Ahead Eagles’ fine home record, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Sparta Rotterdam boss Maurice Steijn has full squad to choose from for Friday’s encounter. It has to be noted that Go Ahead Eagles defeated Sparta 2-1 when the two teams met in Rotterdam earlier this season.
