Sparta Rotterdam - Heracles predictions

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Heracles may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

The odds are stacked heavily against Heracles here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Sparta Rotterdam are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.90.

There is no denying that Sparta Rotterdam put on quite a show in their previous Eredivisie outing. They were given the odds of 2.52 to claim an away win against a strong side and they fully delivered. The Saturday hosts were level at halftime and ended up claiming a rather surprisingly convincing Vitesse in the end.

Pre-match Eredivisie betting odds were at no less than 1.52 for Heracles to win their previous matchup even though they were playing at home. You can imagine the surprise when they ended up completely dominating the showdown, leading in both halves and ultimately winning 5:0.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

The visiting team are doing rather well offensively – at least as far as their latest 3 matches can tell us. They’ve scored more than 5 times in total over the course of these games.

These two teams already clashed this season, and Sparta Rotterdam walked away with a solid away win. It was fairly narrow, though, giving Heracles supporters some hope for this game despite the unfavourable matchup.

To make things even more difficult for the visitors, they’ve had an unfortunate run of injuries recently. Sava-Arangel Cestic, Emil Hansson, Jannes Wieckhoff, Stijn Bultman have all been put out of contention, leaving the team’s coach with a more limited set of options at his disposal.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.67 odds offered at 888Sport.
