Sparta Rotterdam - Go Ahead Eagles predictions

Sparta Rotterdam are easily the favourites in the match this Sunday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.10 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Go Ahead Eagles may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against Sparta Rotterdam on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

The home team are coming off of a 1:2 victory over Willem II in the previous round. Their supporters had reasons to feel hopeful before that game’s kick-off – they were playing as visitors, but still had a mild advantage in terms of betting odds. They had to wait until the second half for the deciding goal, but they got there in the end.

Few were surprised by the away team’s 3:0 loss in the previous round, harsh as that may sound. They were up against impossibly long odds at 23.00 and were also the away team. For now, they should probably look ahead to more even matchups.

The hosts will be trying to earn another 2 points and move into the league’s leading positions. Earning three points in this match will not be easy, but they have the rest of the season to keep at it.

Go Ahead Eagles are currently hoping to earn 5 points and move up to a Europa League qualification, though it’s still too early to tell if they can do it. However, it’s clear that earning points this Sunday will be quite difficult, considering most top bookmakers online are expecting them to lose.

Although Sparta Rotterdam are marked as the clear favourites in this matchup, things didn’t go well against Go Ahead Eagles last season. They lost a game with a considerable goal difference, so their supporters are hoping that they’ll manage to avoid such mishaps this Sunday.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 3.60 odds offer a decent return.
