Sparta Rotterdam - Willem II betting tips and odds

Sparta Rotterdam might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Willem II are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Willem II who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

Sparta Rotterdam’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Feyenoord as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 4:0 loss for Sparta Rotterdam.

Willem II performed admirably in their previous Eredivisie match – though their success was not exactly a surprise. They were tagged as favourites – though not by a large margin – and played on home turf, so the odds were stacked against their opponents RKC Waalwijk.

The first step Sparta Rotterdam need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

Willem II’s recent performance as visitors has been marked by a lot of conceded goals – 6 in their previous 3 away games.

The two teams already met this season in the Eredivisie, with Sparta Rotterdam taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

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 2.04 odds offered at Betway.
