Prediction

  • Sparta Rotterdam, unbeaten in their last three Eredivisie games, will put their streak on the line at Sparta-Stadion Het Kasteel against Groningen this Sunday.
  • Groningen recently drew 1-1 against Heracles at Asito Stadion in their last league match, placing them 14th in the standings with 21 points. They have scored 17 goals and conceded 29 in 20 matches, leaving them four points behind eighth-placed Fortuna Sittard, which is currently vying for a spot in the UEFA Conference League Play-offs.
  • Sparta Rotterdam sits in 16th place with 17 points, just three points away from safety. They won their last Eredivisie match 2-1 at AFAS Stadion against AZ, ending a 13-match winless streak.
  • In their previous encounter, Groningen emerged victorious with a 1-0 win over Sparta, thanks to a goal from Romano Postema in the 31st minute at Euroborg in November.
  • For Groningen, Brynjólfur Willumsson, Jorg Schreuders, and Postema have been the key attacking players this season, each scoring three, three, and two goals, respectively.
  • On the other hand, Camiel Neghli and Tobias Lauritsen have been standout performers for Sparta. Neghli is their top scorer with five goals, two of which were the first goals of the match. Lauritsen has also been impressive, netting four times, including one goal that opened the scoring.
  • Sparta is still searching for their first home Eredivisie win this season, having recorded five draws and five losses in ten games at Sparta-Stadion Het Kasteel. They are looking to end a 10-match winless streak at home in the Eredivisie that dates back to August 2024, when they faced Heracles.
  • Meanwhile, Groningen aims to improve their away form, which has seen them achieve just one win, two draws, and seven losses in their league matches on the road this season. They are currently on a nine-match winless streak away from home, with their last victory in an Eredivisie away game occurring in August 2024 against RKC Waalwijk.
