Sparta Rotterdam will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 away win against Willem II.  During that encounter they had 88% possession and had 0 attempts on goal with 0 on target, while their opponents hit 0 of their 0 shots on goal.  

Manager Jeroen Rijsdijk will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games.  

There will be mixed feelings from De Kasteelheren, although undefeated in their last 4 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.  

Camiel Neghli will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Sparta Rotterdam.

Go Ahead Eagles will be looking to regroup after their bruising encounter with PSV in which they suffered a 3-0 away defeat.  They came away from that fixture with a 29% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to PSV, who managed 19 attempts on goal, 8 of which were on target.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 4, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 11 goals and some valuable points in the process.  Not only have they failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, but they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

Despite picking up some valuable points from 2 wins, the 4 lost matches from 6 will be the main concern for them.
