Sparta Rotterdam vs Cambuur Prediction & Betting tips
Sunday afternoon there is a nice clash on the program between the number four and number six. Both teams were left with expensive points last week and could not continue the excellent season start. Which of them will keep the connection with the top 3?
Sparta Rotterdam:
Sparta Rotterdam can be found in fourth place with only two points behind Almere City. In particular, the home results contribute to this, as the Rotterdammers were able to win the full loot of the four home matches against FC Volendam, FC Eindhoven, FC Den Bosch and FC Dordrecht respectively, with at least two goals for the Spartans in each match. In the four games played so far, the Spartans managed to gain only five points. Quite unexpectedly, the same game that they won last week against Go Ahead Eagles in Deventer did not come. It should be noted that the Eagles are generally very strong at home and Lars Veldwijk only made the 2-2 safe in the injury time for the team from Rotterdam, which can be considered as an excellent result.
For Henk Fraser’s team, it is important to keep the three points at the Castle, especially if Cambuur Leeuwarden is the same as a competitor for the title, so Sparta seems to have a suitable selection with eye catcher Royston Drenthe, which seems to find its turn more and more within this team, witnesses two goals in the last matches. The presence of Eredivisie-worthy and experienced players such as Lars Veldwijk, Adil Auassar and Dries Wuytens provide the right dose of experience in a mix with talents such as Derin Duarte and Ragnar Ache. In terms of player material, Sparta is still rightly a title candidate and they will have to show it again on Sunday.
Cambuur:
For Cambuur Leeuwarden it is important to wash away the bitter aftertaste of last week as quickly as possible. In and against Dordrecht the Frisians lost 1-3, something that could be seen as a surprise. The draft seems a bit in the team of Rene Hake after an excellent start with four wins and two draws in the first six games. Two weeks ago, however, things went wrong in Kerkrade where Roda JC proved to be too strong for the Geelblauwen with 1-0. This could however be seen as an incident, because last week they were allowed to visit the red lantern of the Keuken Kampioen Competitie, but that went wrong.
So a higher level will have to be achieved next Sunday and it is not yet known whether Hake will throw his team after the two recent losses. Some hope Cambuur can draw from the 0-2 exhibition victory against Sparta in August. It should of course be noted that this was only a practice match, which was also played around the time in which Cambuur played a lot better.
