Heracles Almelo, Recent FormLast time out, Heracles Almelo recorded an impressive 5-0 away win against Almere City.
Having lost 19 goals in their past 6 matches, boss John Lammers will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 8 goals they scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 12 of their 13 games overall.
Results have been poor for Heracles recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table.
On an individual basis, Nikolai Laursen is showing great form in front of goal having scored 6 goals in Heracles Almelo's last 6 league games
Sparta Rotterdam, Recent FormAny Sparta Rotterdam pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 2-1 home defeat by FC Utrecht.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 9 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form.
Koki Saito will be hoping to create problems for Heracles Almelo in this one, having scored 4 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Sparta Rotterdam.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Sparta Rotterdam that came out on top with a 1-3 win.
The De Kasteelheren defence has struggled at Erve Asito, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 9 visits. When Sparta are away to Heraclieden in the league, they know how to find the net, with 6 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 2 per game.
Sparta have built up an impressive record in the league against Heracles, going unbeaten in their last 5 meetings.
Heracles manager John Lammers has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Navajo Bakboord (Unknown), Jizz Hornkamp (Ankle), Nikolai Laursen (Knee), Abdenego Nankishi (Unknown) and Diego van Oorschot (Broken leg) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Jeroen Rijsdijk has a number of injury concerns in his Sparta squad to contend with: Saïd Bakari (Personal reasons), Pelle Clement (Knee) and Koki Saito (Unknown)
