SC Heerenveen - Sparta Rotterdam predictions

Beating Sparta Rotterdam will not be easy, but we believe SC Heerenveen are more than capable of doing so. The matchup is somewhat balanced, after all, so all three possible outcomes are still on the table.

The visiting team knows that beating SC Heerenveen on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

The home side is eager to bounce back from the latest Eredivisie disappointment. SC Heerenveen suffered a disappointing NEC away defeat last time out and will be keen to bounce back asap. This match exposed all of their weaknesses right from the start and they need to avoid the same thing happening on Saturday.

The visitors are coming off from a 2:2 disappointment. This previous Eredivisie match of theirs was supposed to be an easy win for Sparta Rotterdam but they barely got away with a point in the end, knowing they were trailing at the halftime break.

Experts have pointed at SC Heerenveen’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 Eredivisie games.

A quick look at the away team’s recent track record reveals that they haven’t let a single of their most recent 7 matches go by without scoring at least once. Statistically speaking, they’re likely to continue this streak.

SC Heerenveen are currently 16th on the Eredivisie table, which is uncomfortably close to the relegation zone. Although the match this Saturday will not be easy, there’s plenty of room to make changes in the future.

While Sparta Rotterdam enter round 10 in the upper half of the table, they’ll definitely want to climb up. There’s plenty of time left in the season to do so, though matchups like SC Heerenveen won’t make their lives any easier.

These two teams met in the previous season, and things went quite poorly for SC Heerenveen. They lost the game to a considerable goal difference. However, the 2.51 betting odds for a home win make it clear that the teams’ forms are quite different this time around.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Tobias Lauritsen, Shunsuke Mito, Teo Quintero are the players that will be missing, which makes the Sparta Rotterdam lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.85, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
