Prediction: 2-1
Willem II
Sparta Rotterdam play host to Willem II at their Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel on day 24 of the current Eredivisie campaign. The Rotterdammers are desperate to escape the relegation zone, but it has to be noted that they have won only one game at home this season. Former PSV left-back Patrick van Aanholt is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a 1-0 loss to Go Ahead Eagles.
The Tricolores, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team failing to win the last six league matches. As Willem II struggled defensively in a 3-1 loss to Groningen at the weekend, home win should be considered. In the first half of the season, Sparta Rotterdam recorded a 2-1 win over Willem II, who will be without suspended midfielder Boris Lambert in Sunday’s clash.
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.
