Prediction: 2-1
Sittard
Sparta Rotterdam will be aiming to build on a 2-1 win over RKC Waalwijk when they take on Fortuna Sittard in the Eredivisie round 7. The Rotterdammers quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Go Ahead Eagles, but they do not want to stop now. Barring any fresh injury worries, Jeroen Rijsdijk is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated RKC at the weekend.
Danny Buijs’ men, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and given their three-game losing run in the Dutch top flight, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home team. In their last meeting in Rotterdam Sparta outclassed Fortuna Sittard 4-0, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the home side. Both Kristoffer Peterson and Kaj Sierhuis are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
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.
