Sparta Rotterdam will welcome Groningen to the Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel on matchday 21 of the Eredivisie. Sparta are in sixth place in the league standings, while Groningen are in seventh place. Here's our match prediction.
Barring their setback against FC Volendam in the KNVB Beker, Sparta Rotterdam have hit the ground running in the Eredivisie. The Rotterdammers come into this match, having won four straight league games for the first time since 1994.
Their most recent triumph came against FC Utrecht. They cruised to a narrow 1-0 away victory. That marked their third shutout during this period.
De Kasteelheren are at home this time around and are seeking a fifth consecutive league win. That should be achievable for a side that has won two of their last three home league games.
Groningen, on the other hand, saw their five-match Eredivisie unbeaten run, comprising three wins and two draws, come to an end over the weekend.
On Sunday, they faced Fortuna Sittard at home. Despite the odds being in their favor, they failed to impose themselves and lost 2-1.
Hoping for a better outcome, they are on the road this time. Trots van het Noorden are unbeaten in their last three league outings (W2, D1). This comes after losing two consecutive matches without finding the back of the net.
