Sparta Rotterdam - SC Heerenveen predictions

Though we can call Sparta Rotterdam the favourites in this matchup, SC Heerenveen are not about to make it easy for them. It’s gearing up to be an exciting match overall, and no outcome can be ruled out at this point.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, SC Heerenveen would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

The hosts returned home from a successful Eredivisie trip last time out. Despite the unfavourable odds, Sparta Rotterdam pulled off a narrow FC Utrecht away win after a tied first half.

Losing at the home ground is never easy but disappointment grows when you are a 1.63 favourite to win in the first place. SC Heerenveen failed to justify the betting odds last time out against Vitesse and will be eager to make amends n Sunday.

Sparta Rotterdam can’t seem to maintain a proper defence whenever they play as visitors. With 6 concessions over the past three away games, it’s obvious some tweaks need to be made in defence.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Eredivisie outings.

Sparta Rotterdam already won against SC Heerenveen this season, although it was a rather narrow victory. They’ll have the home-field advantage this time, though, which puts them in the position of favourites.

Joshua Kitolano, Arno Verschueren, Django Warmerdam will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

We recommend taking up Pncl’s offer for a Draw/Home result in the Half Time/Full Time market, priced at 1.93. It’s fairly good for value, but you might want to steer clear if you’re looking for high-probability wagers.
