Groningen vs Sparta Rotterdam Prediction & Betting tips
FC Groningen will play against Sparta Rotterdam in-house on Sunday afternoon. The visitors are in good shape and will certainly not stand a chance in this game.
Fc Groningen:
After nine matches, FC Groningen is in the big middle group of the Premier League. The game that coach Danny Buijs is showing for the time being is certainly not too impressive. Two weeks ago a victory was booked that was urgently needed. Against low-flyer RKC Waalwijk there was finally a 3-0 final score on the scoreboard, but the difference in power was not as great as that score suggests. Groningen gave away the necessary opportunities in that game.
“They are doing well, with a team that includes a mix of experienced players and young boys,” Buijs analyzed opponent Sparta on the club site of Groningen. However, Groningen can offer a good home balance. Twelve of the last seventeen home duels in the Eredivisie were won by the Northern team. Buijs has few problems with injuries. Ramon Lundqvist and Mike te Wierik are doubtful cases. Romano Postema is on the road with the Netherlands under-17 and therefore not available.
Sparta Rotterdam:
Sparta Rotterdam is, quite unnoticed, one of the big surprises of this season. The PhD student knows how to get a remarkable number of points. After nine rounds, the counter is already at fifteen, which means that an advance on enforcement has already been taken. For the international break, Sparta won against fellow PhD student FC Twente. In Rotterdam, Bryan Smeets earned a fabulous 2-1 victory over a fabulous late goal.
“We can make it difficult for any team,” goalkeeper Tim Coremans said in the run-up to Sunday’s game. “We must realize that we can lose from everyone,” coach Henk Fraser tried to guard against recklessness in his selection. Fraser has a wide choice for Sunday, because everyone on the side of Sparta is employable. The coach did not change much in his basic team in the first months of the season.
