Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Sparta Rotterdam and Twente square off against each other at Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel in the closing match of the Eredivisie round 31. The Rotterdammers have been in a fine form of late, winning three of their last four league matches, while sharing the spoils with Ajax. Sparta aim to keep their Conference League hopes alive and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach against Twente. Joshua Kitolano picked up a knock in the Amsterdam Arena showdown, with Carel Eiting likely to step up.
The Reds, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to PSV. Sparta Rotterdam, though, have been in a much better form of late than Twente and that is the main reason why home win should be considered. The good news for the visiting team is that Indonesian defender Mees Hilgers is back from suspension.
Highlighted Team (Twente):
Based in the city of Enschede, Twente is a Dutch football club that welcomes their rivals at De Grolsch Veste. The venue was opened on May 10, 1998, and the capacity of the stadium is 30,205 people. The club was founded in 1965 as a merger of Sportsclub Enschede and Enschedese Boys.
The Reds did remarkably well to win the Eredivisie title in the 2009/10 season, with the team finishing the process only one point clear of Dutch giants Ajax. As a result, Twente booked their place in the Champions League group stages. The Reds did well to collect six points in their group, but that did not help them make it to the last 16.
Twente are well known for their red jerseys, but they wear dark blue shirts when playing on the travels. The Reds take on Heracles Almelo in the Twentse Derby. Sander Boshchker is leading Twente’s all-time goal-scoring chart with 653 goals on his account.
