Sparta Rotterdam vs Twente Prediction & Betting tips
Sparta Rotterdam and FC Twente will compete against each other on Thursday evening at Het Kasteel. Before the winter break, the Rotterdammers managed to beat the Tukkers. Will Henk Fraser’s team manage to beat Twente again?
Sparta:
Sparta Rotterdam suffered a loss last weekend, its ninth of this Eredivisie season. During a visit to FC Utrecht, the Spartans mainly concentrated on the defensive part. For a long time this went well, but in the final phase Utrecht managed to score. The time that remained after that was too short to equalize. In the Galgenwaarden Sparta therefore suffered a 1-0 defeat. “It was a real 0-0 game, there were no real chances,” midfielder Abdou Harroui mourned afterwards against Sparta’s own media.
Sparta is pretty solid in the middle of the league table, with 21 points scored from eighteen games. The main goal of the Rotterdammers is to avoid relegation. If the first half of the season is a gauge, then it should work. At the same time, it is doubtful whether there is much more in it. In terms of quality, Sparta still has a team with shortcomings. Fraser could choose to bring some fresh strengths to this midweek game round. Wouter Burger could be put in the base.
FC Twente:
FC Twente has recently had more trouble scoring points than was the case earlier this season. The Tukkers only managed to win one of their five last matches. Last Sunday they had to take a considerable downer. At home against VVV-Venlo, Ron Jans’s team was of course expected to take the full booty. However, creating opportunities did not go smoothly. The Limburgers lurked at that one moment, which came in the second half. VVV scored from one of their few attacking moments. The match in the Grolsch Veste ended in 0-1.
The loss did not come completely out of the blue, as the four home games that Twente had before, all ended in loss. One of them was suffered against Sparta. In the last round of 2020, Sparta won 0-2 in Enschede. Luciano Narsingh played against the Venlo team for half an hour. He may be eligible for a basic place on Thursday. Jans cannot act in his strongest position; Vaclav Cerny is missing on the side of the Tukkers.
