Prediction on NEC vs Sparta

• NEC Nijmegen have drawn their last 3 home fixtures against Sparta
• NEC Nijmegen have drawn 4 out of the previous 6 games against Sparta
• Sparta have won just one of their last 5 Eredivisie games

Both teams continue their ambitions to qualify for European football next season.

The hosts have better form coming into the game, but there is one big fact that is against them.

They haven’t won their last 9 matches in a row against Sparta Rotterdam.

Sparta are underdogs on paper, but can draw inspiration from their recent victory over Fortuna.

Although one side could nick a win here, we are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a high-scoring stalemate.

Prediction: Sparta to win or draw

The last 9 H2H meetings between those teams have seen under 3.5 goals.

We expect to see another low-scoring clash.

Betting Tip: Under 3.5

Match Preview: NEC vs Sparta
