Prediction: 1-0
Nijmegen
Buoyed by a 3-0 win over Fortuna Sittard, Sparta Rotterdam will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on NEC Nijmegen in the Eredivisie round 28. The Rotterdamers were producing fine performances in March, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of upcoming challenges. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be midfielder Shunsuke Mito, who scored a brace in the last league match.
NEC Nijmegen, on the other hand, have recorded only one win in the previous four away games and given their negative record at Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel, home win should be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Rotterdam. It has to be noted that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous twelve meetings between the two sides in Eredivisie.
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.
