Team Information, Preview, and Groningen vs Sparta Rotterdam Lineups
Groningen
The fans are requesting that the whole board of directors leave the club, they have recently interrupted a league match against Ajax. The team will look a lot different next season, it is going to be an interesting summer for the club which might choose to sell some of its senior players and give more chances to its youth program. Jetro Willems, Michael Verrips, Liam Van Gelderen, and Paulos Abraham are doubtful to play while Peter Leeuwenburgh is suspended.
Potential lineup: de Boer, Schreuders, Balker, Bech Sorensen, Musampa Nordin, Suslov, Duarte, Antman, Hove, Dybvik Maatta, Pepi.
Sparta Rotterdam
It has been a good season for the Rotterdam team who will finish inside the top six of the Eredivisie rankings which puts them in a position to play for European placement next season. The year will continue for the guest side who can make this season even more impressive with another win. Sparta doesn't have injury issues at this time.
Potential lineup: Olij, Pinto, Auassar, Vriends, Sambo, Kitolano, de Guzman, Namli, Saito, Lauritsen, van Crooij.
Player to Watch: Vito van Crooij
The 27-year-old player has been the star for Sparta this season making a case for one of the players of the season. Van Crooij scored 11 league goals which are tied for the best mark on the team while also contributing eleven assists. With Sparta having a great season, van Crooij will surely receive some offers this summer.
