Sparta Rotterdam return home aiming to build on their recent form, having won two of their last three league games. Given Heracles' poor defensive display in a 3-0 loss to Heerenveen, our prediction points toward a 2-1 home win. Despite the suspension of key defender Shurandy Sambo, the Rotterdammers remain competitive at Het Kasteel, where they average 1.67 points per game and concede just 1.17 goals. Their expected goals numbers (1.50 at home) suggest they are creating enough to trouble most opponents, though failing to score in 33% of home matches highlights occasional inconsistency. Said Bakari’s return from international duty strengthens their defensive depth.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, travel to Rotterdam following a heavy 3-0 defeat to Heerenveen, a result that underlined their shaky defence. Away from home they concede 2.00 goals per match and have yet to register a clean sheet this season. Still, their attack is lively, averaging 2.00 goals on the road and showing an impressive 80% BTTS rate overall. Their expected goals numbers away (1.14 xG) remain modest, but their efficiency in front of goal keeps them dangerous.
Home advantage and steadier defence give Sparta the edge. Therefore, Home Win is our main betting tip, with additional value on BTTS (59% H2H) and Over 2.5 goals (47%).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Sunday 11 January 2026 at 15:45.
