Sparta Rotterdam vs VVV Predictions

Sparta Rotterdam began life back in the Eredivisie with an excellent point away at local rivals Feyenoord last weekend and, as a result, confidence is bound to be booming ahead of their first home game of the new campaign. VVV went one better than Friday’s hosts as they picked up all three points against newly-promoted RKC Waalwijk and will now be expecting to make it back to back wins against former Eerste Divisie clubs.

The stats all point to a home win for Sparta Rotterdam on Friday as the hosts have a good record against VVV, which includes three wins and just one defeat in the pair’s last six encounters. Sparta Rotterdam haven’t lost at home to VVV in any of their last ten meetings at the Sparta-Stadion Het Kasteel in Rotterdam, a fantastic record which Sparta will be aiming to continue on Friday.

With both teams scoring in four of the last five encounters between these two clubs, it’s likely that we will see goals going in at both ends of the pitch on Friday. Nobody has been able to stop Sparta Rotterdam from scoring in their last six matches and VVV have only kept one clean sheet in their last six attempts.

Both teams have scored in four of the visitors last six matches and VVV have only failed to score in one of their six games, so Rotterdam are bound to be tested in the final third on Friday. However, with four wins in their last six matches, the hosts are full of confidence and the atmosphere is bound to be buzzing for their first home game back in the top flight.

We’re confident that Sparta Rotterdam will win on Friday and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. Both teams head into the match with four wins, one draw, and one defeat from their last six games, so we’re expecting a close and competitive ninety minutes. However, Sparta have a good overall record against their guests and have had the better of them in recent seasons, so with the home fans behind them, we expect a narrow victory for Sparta Rotterdam on Friday.
