Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Sparta Rotterdam
Match Time & Date:

12:15
Prediction: 1-3
Ajax
All eyes will be on Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel when Sparta Rotterdam and Ajax face each other in the Eredivisie round 14. The Rotterdammers aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Twente, but they will have a mountain to climb in Sunday’s football match. Head coach Henk Fraser should have a full squad to choose from, with both Meijers and Engels pushing for a star.
The Amsterdammers, on the other hand, rolled over RKC 5-0 in their last league match to retain top position in the standings. PSV, though, are still breathing down Ajax’s neck, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on the title holders. Erik ten Hag can count on key players for Sunday’s clash as well. In their last meeting at the venue Ajax defeated Sparta thanks to Antony’s goal.

Ajax is a Dutch football club that was founded on 18 March, 1900. Ajax are well known for their youth academy, which regarded as one of the best youth football schools in the world. The likes of Johan Cruijff, Edwin van der Sar, Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Kluivert, Rafael van der Vaart and Marco van Basten are all products of Ajax’s football academy. The Amsterdammers share a big rivalry with Feyenoord and there have always been fireworks when the two teams face each other in De Klassieker.
During the seventies Feyenoord and Ajax were the only two teams who were capable of winning the domestic trophies, while PSV have been playing an important role in Dutch football in the 21st century. PSV and Ajax are regarded as big rivals as well and the two teams square off against each other in De Topper. Ajax play their home games at Amsterdam ArenA, the stadium that was opened on 14 August, 1996.
