Free Predictions for Go Ahead Eagles vs Sparta Rotterdam
Go Ahead Eagles and Sparta Rotterdam will be hoping that this weekend brings about their first league win of the new season. The hosts have lost their opening three matches and Sparta Rotterdam have only faired slightly better with 1pt from their first three fixtures, so we're expecting a tight and tense 90-minutes in Deventer.
Sparta Rotterdam Double Chance
Sparta Rotterdam have picked up three wins and a draw from their last six games against Go Ahead Eagles, and we're backing the visitors to come away with at least a point to show for their efforts this weekend. Go Ahead Eagles have lost their opening three matches and in their one and only home game they were hammered 5-2 by PSV. Sparta Rotterdam picked up a point in their first game but then faced tough matches against AZ and Ajax, both of which ended in narrow defeats, so you can see why we're backing the visitors to get something against a much weaker opposition on Saturday.
Under 2.5 Goals
Each of the last two meetings between Go Ahead Eagles and Sparta Rotterdam during the 2021/22 campaign produced under 2.5 goals, and we're expecting another low-scoring affair this weekend. Four of the host's and three of the visitor's last six outings in all competitions have witnessed fewer than three goals scored, adding weight to our second prediction for this Eredivisie clash.

Two teams still searching for their first win lock horns in the Eredivisie
Go Ahead Eagles made the trip to Groningen last weekend hoping to claim their first points of the campaign. However, the match ended in yet another defeat and Go Ahead Eagles failed to score for the second successive away game as an own goal from de Lange in the 3rd-minute proved enough for Groningen to claim all 3pts.
Go Ahead Eagles Predicted Lineup – de Lange, Kuipers, Fontán, Amofa, Rommens, Llansana, Linthorst, Idzes, Lidberg, Fernandes & Edvardsen
Sparta played host to the Dutch giants Ajax last time out and gave a good account of themselves against the title favourites. Former Tottenham midfielder, Bergwijn, scored what turned out to be the only goal of the game in the 37th-minute, handing Ajax a narrow victory.
Sparta Rotterdam Predicted Lineup – Olij, Vriends, Pinto, Sambo, de Guzmán, Auassar, Lokilo, Kitolano, Mijnans, van Crooij & Lauritsen
