Sparta Rotterdam vs ADO Den Haag Predictions

• Over 2.5 goals have been scored in each of the last 2 meetings between these two clubs.
• Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 4 of Sparta’s last 6 matches.
• Over 2.5 goals have been scored in  3 of Den Haag’s last 6 matches.
• Sparta have won 5 of their 10 home games while Den Haag have lost 8 of their 10 away games.

Sparta have won half of their home games since returning to the top flight

Sparta lost 2-0 away at newly-promoted Twente last weekend while Den Haag held high-flying Vitesse to a goalless draw at home, which means the gap between the two clubs was reduced to 7pts. Both of these teams could do with a win this weekend as they have only managed to take the full 3pts from one of their last six outings and it’s Den Haag that edge the form guide thanks to having one fewer defeats and an extra draw from their last six matches.

However, Sparta beat Den Haag 2-1 in the pairs’ reverse fixture in August and boast a decent home record this season, so will be confident they can secure the domestic double over their troubled guests this Tuesday. Sparta have won five and only lost two of their ten home games in the Eredivisie, while Den Haag have already lost eight times on the road.

Over 2.5 goals have been scored in each of the pairs’ last two encounters as well as in four of Sparta’s and three of Den Haag’s last six competitive and non-competitive matches. The hosts average 1.80 points per home game and have a win ratio of 50% in their own backyard, while Den Haag average just 0.60 points per away game and have lost 80% of their matches on the road.

Den Haag have looked poor on the road this season

Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 70% of Sparta’s home games this season as well as in 80% of Den Haag’s away games, so you can see just why we expect at least 3-goals to be scored on Tuesday. Sparta score an average of 2.00 goals per home game and concede 1.10 goals while Den Haag score an average of 1.00 goals per away game but concede 2.70, which is why we have backed a final score of 2-1 in favour of Sparta this Tuesday.

Both teams have scored in 60% of Sparta’s home matches and the hosts have only failed to score in 10% of their home games, adding further weight to our prediction for a 2-1 home win on Tuesday. Two of Sparta’s wins this season have been obtained via a 1-goal margin, while four fo Den Haag’s defeats have also been by a margin of just 1-goal which ties in perfectly with our prediction for a narrow home win this Tuesday.

We’re confident that over 2.5 goals will be scored in Tuesday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of Sparta. The hosts play their best football at home and are up against a team with one of the worst away records in the league, and we can’t see this game ending in anything but a home win.
