Sparta vs NEC Prediction – Eredivisie

The home team currently sits in 15th place, accumulating 28 points through 6 wins, 10 draws, and 11 losses. In their penultimate match, they drew 1-1 at home against PEC Zwolle, followed by a 3-0 away victory over Fortuna Sittard in their most recent match. This team shows a peculiar trend of performing better away than at home, with their last 30 matches yielding 5 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses away, scoring 16 goals and conceding 17. Conversely, at home, they have achieved 3 wins, 7 draws, and 5 losses, scoring 17 and conceding 20. In their last 10 home league games, Sparta has recorded 2 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses, amassing 10 points from a possible 30. The defence has let in goals in 7 out of their last 10 matches, indicating a lack of solidity at the back, while the attack has managed to score in 8 of the last 10 games. Despite the inconsistent performances at home, there’s a pattern of fewer goals being scored, with 8 of their last 13 league matches finishing with under 2.5 goals. In the 27 league matches played, they have never overturned a deficit in the 14 games where they conceded the first goal.

Sparta Rotterdam will aim to leverage the home advantage to rise up the table. The team’s fluctuating performance necessitates a more stable approach, particularly in their defensive play, to secure favourable results.
