RKC Waalwijk
  • Saïd Bakari and the suspended Marvin Young are the only players missing for Sparta Rotterdam through injury.

Prediction

  • Sparta Rotterdam and RKC Waalwijk meet at Sparta-Stadion Het Kasteel on Sunday, both teams aiming to end their winless streaks in the Eredivisie. Sparta have gone 12 consecutive matches without securing three points, while RKC are looking to avoid an eighth straight game without a victory.
  • Currently, RKC Waalwijk sits in last place with only seven points after 16 matches, making them candidates for relegation. They are six points behind Sparta Rotterdam, who are positioned 16th with 13 points, just above the relegation playoff zone.
  • In their last Eredivisie match, Sparta played to a 1-1 draw against Heracles at Asito Stadion, extending their winless streak to 12 games. Meanwhile, RKC Waalwijk suffered a 2-1 defeat to Ajax at Johan Cruijff ArenA, marking their seventh consecutive winless game.
  • The most recent encounter between these teams was in September, where Sparta won 2-1 at Mandemakers Stadion. Mohamed Nassoh opened the scoring for Sparta in the 32nd minute, followed by a goal from Camiel Neghli. Richonell Margaret scored RKC's only goal in the 66th minute.
  • Sparta have had the upper hand against Waalwijk lately, remaining unbeaten in the last six Eredivisie matches between them. RKC are seeking their first league victory against Sparta since October 2021, during which time the Kasteelheren have outscored their rivals eight to five.
  • Key players for Sparta this season include Neghli and Tobias Lauritsen. Neghli is the team’s top scorer with five goals, two of which were crucial opening goals. Lauritsen closely follows with four goals, including one that opened a match.
