Sparta Rotterdam will look to build on their 3-1 win over Telstar when they welcome Utrecht, with summer signing Nokkvi Thorisson expected to continue leading the line after scoring his first goal for the club at the weekend. The hosts have struggled for consistency, winning just two of their last 10 matches and averaging only 1.20 goals per game at home. Their defence has also conceded 1.60 goals per home match during that period.
Utrecht, meanwhile, are desperate to bounce back from consecutive defeats to Groningen and AZ Alkmaar. The visitors have won five of their last 10 games and average 1.67 xG, although their away defence has been vulnerable, conceding 2.25 goals per game. Dani de With is doubtful after picking up a knock against AZ. The head-to-head record heavily favours Utrecht, who have won 15 of their last 21 meetings, but beating Sparta in Rotterdam is easier said than done.
As 13 of the last 21 H2Hs produced at least three goals, we are tempted to bet on Over 2.5 goals, alongside BTTS and Over 1.5 goals (71% H2H).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 17:45.
