Twente vs Sparta Rotterdam Prediction and Betting Tips

Twente host Sparta Rotterdam at De Grolsch Veste in the Eredivisie European competition playoffs on Sunday (June 11).

Twente held Sparta to a 1-1 draw in the first leg at Sparta Stadoin and will relish the prospect of finishing the job at home. Van Crooij broke the deadlock for Sparta by the 47th minute. When it seemed like the hosts were headed for a slender lead, Algeria international Ramiz Zerrouki struck in added time to even the scores.

The Tukkers will look to build on that result in the second leg, according to manager Ron Jans. While the 1-1 away draw is widely seen as a mini victory for Twente, the gaffer said that he had expected a win. However, the hosts seem to have emerged from Thursday’s game with an improved confidence level.

The visitors put up a good fight, hoping to claim a comfortable scoreline ahead of their trip to Twente, but the contest was fierce. Sparta had to go on the defensive many times to avoid a home setback, which eventually led to the equaliser. Their overall performance was up to scratch, but the result doesn't guarantee anything.

De Kasteelheren would likely not park the bus at De Grolsch Veste to safeguard their 1-1 draw from the first leg. They would go on the offensive, but that could make them vulnerable to Twente’s assaults. However, Sparta have beat Twente at home before and could do it again.
