Sparta Rotterdam, Recent FormIn their last match Sparta Rotterdam enforced their superiority over FC Volendam with a 4-1 away win.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.
Arno Verschueren will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Sparta Rotterdam.
FC Utrecht, Recent FormA 2-2 draw against Excelsior will be viewed as a positive outcome for FC Utrecht and a valuable point into the bargain.
It's fair to say that manager Ron Jans will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have been unable to score away from home in 5 of their last 6 games, and so far this season they have conceded at least one goal in 11 of their 12 games overall.
There will be mixed feelings from Utreg, while they've been undefeated in their last 4 league games, they've only manage a drawn in 3 of them.
Sparta Rotterdam will be looking to forget their last league encounter with FC Utrecht, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 0-3 defeat.
Utreg have scored in each of their last 4 league meetings with Sparta. It's been a long time since Sparta at home has managed to find the back of the Utreg net, having failed to score against them in their last 3 encounters at Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel. In their recent meetings De Kasteelheren have struggled to keep Utrecht at bay, having conceded 13 goals in their last 5 games. In their past 5 meetings, Utrecht's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so De Kasteelheren will have to take their chances when they come.
Utrecht will be looking to continue their winning streak against Sparta, having won each of the last 4 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 15 meetings.
Sparta manager Jeroen Rijsdijk has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Mike Eerdhuijzen (Unknown), Sergi Rosanas (Unknown) and Koki Saito (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
